its really a great shame--in the 1968 AFL championship Lamonica threw a pass that turned out to be a lateral late in the game that cost the Raiders the game and a trip to SB 3--then in the AFL title game in 1969 Lamonica jammed his hand against Aaron Brown's helmet and couldn't throw properly-plus a pass that should have been ruled out of bounds from Dawson to Taylor cost the Raiders a trip to SB 4. I'm sure the Raiders would have beaten both the Colts and the Vikings too.
This was the last game in which AFL officials wore the red-striped shirts. They adopted the standard NFL issue for 1968 in anticipation of the merger.

Garland Boyette, #52 of the Oilers, the 'first' black middle linebacker in Pro Football history, 'not' Willie Lanier.

Daryle Lamonica is awesome. I love his commentary in this highlight video.
