I had not even ever played competitive football; my words were nothing more that the dreams all youth have. I think I'd become a die hard Raider fan around the time of a “Sea of Hands” My dad was a huge Dolphin fan, so I think I had to cheer for the opposition and like a lot of kids; that Silver and Black and Pirate look simply drew you in. I did indeed enter the Armed Forces for a lengthy career and although I don't actively follow the NFL like a I used too, I remain a loyal Raider fan to this days.

@coffeeinthemorning That's all well and good, but Namath's overall numbers weren't that much different than Plunkett's numbers. That said, I do think Plunkett is a special case: how many other guys win Rookie of the Year, then gets his brains kicked in for years after that, and ultimately recovers to win the big one twice? Bums don't win multiple Super Bowls.

This marked -The first and only playoff meeting between the Raiders and Chargers to date -The last Raiders road playoff win to date -The first and last time the Chargers hosted a conference championship game -The last game for Joe Gibbs as offensive coordinator before coaching Washington

What an impressive season for the Oakland Raiders in 1980. Former Houston Oilers quarterback Danny Pastorini was the Raiders starting Quarterback then broke his leg. Jim Plunkett who was a bust in his career. Led the Raiders to the Super Bowl and won. That was the team MVP. RAIDER NATION!!

It was the greatest game ever played.

I remember meeting Lester Hayes in Lodi, California. He was signing autographs for fans. Really nice guy!

Everything about the NFL was better back then, from the simple, informative but understated introduction from the low-key and professional announcers, a screen that was devoted entirely to the game without the clutter of useless graphics, two teams of determined athletes giving it their all, as opposed to today's prima donna millionaire thugs who worry more about their image and "brand" than the quality or intensity of their play, and best of all, no challenges to slow things down and make you wait and wonder after every big play, "will it count?"

I think I prefer at least the yellow line, down and distance, score, and time. I’m just more comfortable absorbing the information that way.

I was neighbor and close friend to Ted Hendricks' kid when this was going on. Used to see Plunkett and Bahr hanging out at his house. I was about 10 years old and had zero interest in football at the time. Never went to a game or got one autograph, except for a football that my cousin asked me to get signed for him. Got it back with half the team's signatures on it. Needless to say, my cousin was pretty happy.

What a joy to watch these old games! Football in it's glory days! I remember this game & the Super Bowl very well.

Charlie Joiner's initial touchdown I still think is the best catch I ever saw.Im 52 and remember watching this at age 11

That final drive by Oakland was epic! The Chargers defense was completely out of gas! That Raiders offensive line dominated them! What a game!

I loved listening to Dick Enberg. His interception call @ 15:54 by Lester Hayes was perfect. It wasn't over hyped and he said exactly what everyone was thinking at the time.

It's really a shame that Merlin Olson never got to play in a Super Bowl like his counter part the great Bob Lilly did. One of the all-time greats for sure.

Call me crazy, but my favorite defensive back is Lester Hayes! Love his story too.

What about Rob? Probably forgotten, but at this juncture of his career he was plagued with a speech disability. (There was a cringe-inducing moment after Oakland won the SB, where Tom Brookshier was so discomfited interviewing Hayes that he literally cut him off and turned to another Raider.) But he underwent speech therapy and by the next season he’d become a go-to guy for quotes & wisdom. I don’t think his Raider career ended well.

I'm sure Jack Murphy (the SD sports columnist who helped bring major league sports to San Diego and who the stadium was named after) would be deeply saddened by what happened to the Chargers and their move to LA.

Sad to think in 2020 that both these teams are no longer in Oakland and San Diego. Al Davis never would of taken the Raiders to Las Vegas, and Dean Spanos is just a jerk of an owner in San Diego. Charlie Joiner is simply amazing. At age 29 he was already in the NFL 7 years before going to SD in 1976. For the next 10 years he built a HOF career . I laughed when Enberg said he contemplated retiring after the 1980 season, and his teammates wanted him to stay. Had he retired in 1980 it's likely he doesn't make the HOF. He ended up playing another 6 years putting up some nice numbers before retiring in 1986 at age 39. When you think of all the inducted HOFers in this game, and the ones still waiting who deserve the call it's simply amazing.

Don Coryell was a great offensive mind. But not a great head coach and a terrible talent evaluator. 1. Coryell's playoff record was just 3-7 with no Super Bowl appearances. 2. Coryell's teams always saw their defense deteriorate. The 1979 Chargers had a good defense but by 1981, their defense ranked last. 3. Coryell drafted poorly. From 1979-85, Kellen Winslow was his only great draft pick. James Brooks was a good pick but he got into the doghouse. Irvin Phillips, Billy Ray Smith, and Gary Anderson were mediocre. 4. Coryell traded high draft picks for veterans, some of whom went bust. Chuck Muncie and Wes Chandler were good trades (although New Orleans wound up drafting Rickey Jackson with the Muncie pick). John Cappelletti was a bust. Willie Buchanan's best days were behind him. Tim Fox had nothing left in the tank.

No team in NFL history has ever -- over a six-year time period -- lost as many games as the San Diego Chargers did between 1980 and 1985 *despite* scoring 24 or more points. That's what made them unbearably frustrating to watch.

Thanks for posting! I must have watched this game at 11 years old and looked at the pictures in Sports Illustrated for years afterwards. So many great names here. Super gritty performances on a sloppy field. Dick Enberg also is on top of his game.

5:35 😆 🎶 " San Diego , Super Chargers ! " 🎶

The Raiders 1980 team was a team of destiny. They traded stabler before the season and then traded Casper during the season. Starting QB goes down and Plunkett steps in. Lester Hayes lead the league in ints. Classic playoff game

great game, hard to believe it's the only time these 2 teams faced each other in the playoffs. Had to watch it tonight to continue getting hyped for the upcoming Monday Night game. Let's go RAIDERS!!!!!

Chargers uniforms are one of the best in all of sports. Enjoying all these classic games on YT during this time of no live sports.

Enjoy the way the games were played back then much more than now. Also Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen need a bigger booth. They are like siamese twins in there.

It is criminal that Branch and Flores aren't in the HOF. And Lester Hayes? Single handedly shut down Air Coryell and a historically great San Diego offense. Three receivers went to the Pro Bowl from this unit. Not only did he have 13 Ints during the season but 5 more during the playoffs. Possibly the greatest season by a defensive player in NFL history. While we're on the subject of HOF snubs, Henry Lawrence deserves some respect. Solid for 13 years on the right, 3 pro bowls and three SB's. Any other team and these guys are automatic inductees. NFL always hated the Raiders.

Lester Hayes was passed over by the senior committee again this year, and for whatever reason (Raider, Stickum, something else) seems to not have the type of support required by this old boys network. If Art Monk is in the Hall of Fame, anyone in doubt of Hayes’ credentials should rewatch the 83 Super Bowl, and see he and Mike Haynes shut down the Redskins passing game. Summerall and Madden could not recall any better coverage in a game than they saw in that one.

This is when the NFL played football.NFL players are faster,larger,and just better athletes,but these were the best games ever.I live in a nfc market,but NOTHING was better than watching the AFC on NBC.The AFC with its wide open offenses plus NBC had the greatest announcers in the game.Dick Enberg,Merlin Olsen,Curt Gowdy,Don Crique(sp?).
