1967 AFL
In 1967, the Oakland Raiders (13-1-0) were the class of the AFL. They easily won the Western Division by four games over the Kansas City Chiefs (9-5-0). However,in the Eastern Division, it was a wire to wire battle between the Houston Oilers (9-4-1) and the New York Jets (8-4-1), with the Oilers coming out on top by one game. This would set up the AFL Championship Game between the Oakland Raiders and the Houston Oilers, which would be played at the Oakland Coliseum on December 31, 1967. The Oakland Raiders were ten and a half point favorites over the Houston Oilers in the 1967 AFL Championship Game. Quarterback Daryle Lamonica, claimed on waivers from the Buffalo Bills in the off season, led the Raiders to a 13–1 record, throwing 30 touchdown passes in the process. The previous meeting between the two teams had been a close game won 19–7 by the Raiders, with Lamonica struggling offensively. This was not the
case in the rematch. Oakland took a 10–0 lead in the second quarter on a 69 yard run down the left sidelines by Hewritt Dixon, and on a fake field goal attempt Lamonica passed to Dave Kocourek for the 17–0 halftime margin. Former Oilers quarterback George Blanda, who had led Houston to the AFL's first two championships, kicked four field goals for the Raiders. Houston did not score until the fourth quarter, when they already trailed 30–0. This would set up the meeting between the Oakland Raiders and the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl II. As expected, Green Bay dominated Oakland throughout most of Super Bowl II. The Raiders could only score two touchdown passes from quarterback Daryle Lamonica. Meanwhile, Packers kicker Don Chandler made four field goals, including three in the first half, while defensive back Herb Adderley had a 60-yard interception return for a touchdown. Green Bay quarterback Bart Starr was named the MVP for the second time for his 13 of 24 passes for 202 yards and one touchdown.
