Game Notes

Raiders turn back mistake-prone Chargers 34-27.

Oakland jumps out to a 28-7 lead as San Diego stumbles with 3 turnovers, 2 in scoring territory, and later settles for FGs after a few dropped TD passes. Jim Plunkett throws for 261 yards and 2 TDs, benefiting from a lucky bounce in the process.

The Raiders take a 7-0 lead just 3 plays into the game after Raymond Chester gathers a tipped pass and sprints for a 65-yard TD. After the Chargers answer with a TD, Oakland then gets a 5-yard TD run by Plunkett followed by a 21-yard TD pass to Kenny King for a 21-7 lead in the 1st quarter. Mark van Eeghan adds 3-yard TD run before San Diego starts clawing back into the contest.
