• The Raiders came back from a 10-point deficit in the third quarter to stage a late rally and beat the Titans, 28-27, on a gloomy Friday night in the Polo Grounds
• The winning score came on Larry Barnes’ extra point following Jetstream Smith’s 9-yard touchdown run with less than four minutes to play
• Prior to the game the Tribune reported that quarterback Tom Flores had been suffering with “chills” for the previous two days and that both Barnes and defensive end Charley Powell had the “sniffles”
• Despite a leg injury, new halfback Billy Reynolds made his Raiders debut
