Waller blasts officiating after late Raiders loss
San Diego Chargers coach Charlie Waller criticized NFL officials after a 20-17 defeat to the Oakland Raiders at the Oakland Coliseum. A disputed Biletnikoff catch call by back judge Ralph Vandenberg led to the Raiders tying the game, with Waller accusing officials of bias and miscalls. He noted he had previously sent film complaints with no response. An additional note reports Montclair State College’s acceptance of an invitation to the Knute Rockne Bowl in Atlantic City.
