Game Notes

Raiders hold off the Cowboys 27-23 to wrap up a 12-2 season on a Saturday night special edition MNF.

With nothing but pride to play for, Oakland clears the bench in victory. Even George Blanda contributes a 28-ard TD pass to Cliff Branch.

Dallas catches some early breaks as Drew Pearson falls on a fumble in the end zone for a TD, and then the Cowboys add a safety for a 9-3 lead when the Raiders botch a punt in their own end zone. But Oakland rallies as Kenny Stabler hits Fred Biletnikoff for a 10-yard TD, and then CHarle Smith on a 15-yard TD pass to take a 17-9 lead.

Blanda's TD pass as the 3rd of 4 Oakland QBs to play extends the lead to 24-9. Dallas cuts it closer with 2 TD runs by Doug Dennison.
