The Associated Press announced their All-AFL team which included just one Raider, center Jim Otto, on the first team. Guard John Dittrich, quarterback Tom Flores, halfback Tony Teresa, fullback Billy Lott, and cornerback Eddie Macon all received honorable mention.

Eddie Erdelatz finished second in UPI balloting for AFL coach of the year behind Houston's Lou Rymkus.

Sources reported that a Honolulu man named Bill Pacheco had offered to buy the Raiders for a million dollars, but owner Chet Soda said he had “never been contacted by the man.” Soda said he had talked with “some people some time back” about the idea of moving the team to Hawaii but that the owners had never seriously considered it. According to the Chronicle, Pacheco had once tried out with the 49ers as a barefoot kicker and that he had “never been known to shun publicity.”
