Pass Game Gains Momentum Ahead of NFL Playoffs
Oakland's Ken Stabler and Miami's Bob Griese lead AFC passing while Dallas' Roger Staubach and Minnesota's Fran Tarkenton head the NFC. The Raiders and Dolphins rely on running games but expect aerial threats in the AFC and NFC title games, with Stabler and Tarkenton leaning on top receivers Biletnikoff, Siani, Gilliam, Foreman, Warfield, and Kiick. The upcoming games at Miami and Dallas will test passing, protection, and big-play potential ahead of Super Bowl VIII.
