In a game marked by higher than usual levels of hostility between the combatants, the Raiders rode their best defensive performance of the season to a 20-7 win over the Bills at Kezar Stadium.

Fullback Jetstream Smith and Bills linebacker Jack Laraway were tossed from the game in the second for brawling.

Two linebackers, Tom Louderback and Bob Dougherty, left the game in the fourth quarter because of minor injuries, forcing head coach Eddie Erdelatz to put defensive back Wayne Crow in at an outside linebacker spot.
