The Football History of Las Vegas Raiders Los Angeles Times Edition Book

THE COLISEUM IS ROARING, the sun blazing down on Pasadena as the Raiders tighten their grip on history. Madden’s men are relentless. Biletnikoff slips past the defender … complete! Another first down, and the Vikings are reeling. The ground game pounds forward: Clarence Davis, Mark van Eeghen — every carry breaking Minnesota’s resistance. Then comes the moment: Stabler hands off to Pete Banaszak … touchdown! The silver and black faithful can feel it now. After years of near misses, this is the one. The final whistle sounds — the Raiders are Super Bowl XI champions, a 32 – 14 triumph that crowns John Madden’s masterpiece.
