The day after the Super Bowl, consensus was that the Raiders were better than last year's Chiefs and gave the Packers a good fight, but they made too many mistakes and Green Bay didn't hesitate to take advantage.
Raiders players who didn't play in the Super Bowl got the headlines. Cotton Davidson who missed the season with an injury, but spent the season as a de facto offensive coach in the press box didn't get a share of the winnings. Unlike in the AFL championship, the players weren't allowed to vote on Super Bowl shares and players who didn't play got a pro-rated amount based on the number of games they played in the regular season. Meanwhile, Clem Daniels, who also didn't play in the game, panned his team's performance saying “any team would have beaten us the way we played.”
In the AFL expansion draft, the Bengals selected five Raiders, most notably wide receiver Rod Sherman and defensive lineman Richard Sligh.
