Oilers Hope to Deny Raiders as AFC Title Rematch Nears
Houston coach Wally Lemm says victory hinges on Oilers offense and ball control against Oakland. Former Oiler QB George Blanda booted four field goals in their last meeting, lifting the Raiders 19-7. Lemm notes Blanda’s kicking makes Oakland tougher to stop, but Houston must score more. In their prior game Houston led 7-0 at halftime on a Beathard Granger hookup, then was outplayed after intermission as Oakland dominated time of possession.
