| SUPER BOWL SUNDAY | 10 SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2016 RAIDERS Super Bowl II Jan. 14, 1968, Orange Bowl, Miami, Fla. Green Bay 33, Raiders 14 Recap: Green Bay line- backer Ray Nitschke shot the gap and upended Raiders running back Hewritt Dixon in an iconic NFL films moment on the game's first play, and it went downhill from there for a Raiders team that went 13-1 in the regular season. Don Chandler kicked field goals of 39, 20, 43 and 21 yards, Bart Starr threw a 62-yard touchdown pass to Boyd Dowler, Don- nie Anderson scored on a 2-yard run and Herb Adderley removed any doubt with a 60-yard interception return for a touchdown against Daryle Lamonica as the Packers won their third straight championship and second straight Super Bowl. Lamonica completed 15 of 34 passes for 208 yards and pair of 23-yard touch- down passes to Bill Miller. The Raiders defense, nick- named "Eleven Angry Men," sacked Green Bay quarter- back Bart Starr four times, but Starr was named the game's MVP, completing 13 of 22 passes for 202 yards and one touchdown. Quotable: "It's a little like playing against your father. These guys were my childhood heroes." — unnamed Raiders player to Sports Illustrated.

Raiders 27, Philadelphia 10 Recap: Neither a broken leg by starting quar- terback Dan Pastorini, legal wrangling about a proposed move to Los Angeles nor entering the playoffs as a wild-card team could keep the Raiders from their second Super Bowl championship. The Raiders became the first wild-card team to win a title, with an 80- yard touchdown pass from Jim Plunkett to Kenny King giving the Raiders a 14-0 first-quarter lead. The Eagles were domi- nated throughout, trailing by as much as 24-3 in the third quarter. Plunkett also threw touch- down passes of 2 and 29 yards to Cliff Branch and Chris Bahr added field goals of 46 and 35 yards. Fullback Mark van Eeghen led all rushers with 75 yards on 18 carries. Defensively, linebacker Rod Martin set a Super Bowl record by intercept- ing Eagles quarterback Ron Jaworski three times.
