1960s Houston Oilers - American Football League

2-time AFL Champions! Houston Oilers 50th Anniversary Tribute.

In later years, George Blanda would remain a strong supporter of AFL heritage, saying: "That first year, the Houston Oilers or Los Angeles Chargers (24-16 losers to the Oilers in the title game) could have beaten the NFL champion (Philadelphia) in a Super Bowl." Blanda said further: "I think the AFL was capable of beating the NFL in a Super Bowl game as far back as 1960 or '61. I just regret we didn't get the chance to prove it."

@FlauntyHawk- They weren't kicked out. Their greedy owner Bud "I'm a totally heartless asshole" Adams decided to MOVE the team to Nashville, after attemtping to move them two other times while sucking the life and money out the fans that supported him.

@superman93994 Oilers pass defense would havd been shot full of holes by Van Brocklin. Tommy McDonald was unstopable at that point of his career. You under estimate the Eagles pass defense. Eagles easy.
