The team lost to the Broncos, 44-7, in Denver. The loss was the team’s tenth in a row. To add to their woes, the team reported that someone had broken into their Bushrod Park training facilities back in Oakland and had stolen medical supplies. Head trainer George Anderson said that syringes were among the missing items. The break-in was the third such event the team had reported since July.

The team activated wide receiver Dick Dorsey from the taxi squad.

Quarterback Cotton Davidson left the game with an injured shoulder in the fourth quarter and his status for the rematch against the Broncos in Oakland on the 14th was uncertain.

Davidson’s replacement, Chon Gallegos, suffered a bruised ankle from having his foot stepped on, but was able to continue.

Tight end Max Boydston suffered a rib injury and his status would be determined by the result of an x-ray examination.

Defensive linemen Dalva Allen and Chuck McMurtry each suffered ankle injuries.
