The Raider Magic of 1980 continued in a wild AFC Championship game as the Raiders met the Chargers for the 3rd time in 1980:
In the first quarter alone, Raiders quarterback Jim Plunkett threw 2 touchdown passes and scored a rushing touchdown. By the time the first period ended, Oakland was up 21-7, with Plunkett recording a 65-yard touchdown on a tipped pass to Raymond Chester, a 21-yard touchdown to running back Kenny King, and a 5-yard scoring run. The Chargers lone score in the opening period was quarterback Dan Fouts`s 48-yard touchdown completion to Charlie Joiner. Early in the second quarter, Oakland`s Mark van Eeghen rushed for a 3-yard touchdown, but Fouts responded with an 8-yard touchdown to Joiner. Then San Diego scored on its first two drives of the second half to cut the Raiders lead, 28-24. However, Oakland scored two field goals by Chris Bahr. The Chargers then scored on a 27-yard field goal midway through the final period. The Raider defense was exhausted and they implored their offense by saying "don`t let them have the damn ball back"! The Raiders then held onto the ball for the last 6:43 of the game, with Plunkett scrambling twice on 3rd down to pick up key first downs, to clinch the victory. Plunkett finished the game with 14 of 18 completions for 261 yards and 2 touchdowns. |
