According to the official league statistics, released today, the Raiders were last in both team offense (170.7 yards per game) and team defense (443.3 yards per game).

Head coach Marty Feldman said the team wasn’t interested in 49ers castoff halfback Ray Norton, saying that while Norton was a “great athlete” with “excellent speed” he wasn’t a good enough blocker or receiver to fit the Raiders’ needs.

The team revised the news regarding defensive end Jon Jelacic’s military service. Initial reports said Jelacic was required to join his army reserve unit on October 1, but the date was now pushed back to the 15th.
