• Jetstream Smith’s 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to open the second half sparked a 20-point quarter and the Raiders held on from there to beat the Texans, 20-19, in Dallas
• Down 20-7, the Texans scored a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns, but the Raiders blocked the extra point attempt after the first one and stuffed Bo Dickinson’s attempt at rushing for a two-point conversion after the second one to keep the lead
• Tom Flores started at quarterback but split time with Babe Parilli
• Head coach Eddie Erdelatz gave a fiery halftime speech after what he deemed to be a substandard effort in the first half
• Tony Teresa, still laboring with an injured back, played sparingly, but he did throw a touchdown pass to Alan Goldstein during the third quarter charge
• Linebacker Riley Morris suffered a severely bruised back during the game and took ill and was given oxygen on the flight home afterward in reaction to an injection given by a doctor treating him
• He was rushed to the hospital by ambulance when the flight touched down in the Bay Area, but was released shortly after to recuperate at home
• Other players suffering injuries during the game were tight end Gene Prebola (pulled muscle) and wide receiver Charlie Hardy (bruised quadriceps)
