FIRST QUARTER
Oakland drive, no score
15:00 u40 George Blanda kickoff 60, touchback.
Throughout the gamebook, the kicker's name was obscured on kickoffs, so I have assumed the kickers were Blanda and Barnes.
(14:40) 1-10 u20 Jack Larscheid left end run 2, ob, tackled by Mark Johnston.
(14:20) 2-8 u22 Tom Flores to Billy Lott right flat pass incomplete, dropped.
(14:00) 3-8 u22 Tom Flores to Tony Teresa right flat pass 5, ob, tackled by Charlie Kendall.

Penalty nullified Crow's 31 yard punt.
(13:20) 4-8 u22 Wayne Crow punt 40, downed at d38.
Houston drive, no score
(13:00) 1-10 u38 Billy Cannon right tackle run 7.
(12:40) 2-3 u45 George Blanda aborted play 0, fumbled by Blanda at u45, recovered by Blanda at u45.
Gamebook: “Blanda fumbled handoff then fell on ball.”
(12:20) 3-3 u45 George Blanda to John Carson middle pass incomplete.
(12:00) 4-3 u45 Charlie Milstead punt 45, fair catch by Jack Larscheid at u10.
Oakland drive, no score
(11:40) 1-10 u10 Penalty, Oakland, illegal procedure at u10 for 5.
Penalty nullified Larscheid 3 yard run.
(11:20) 1-15 u5 Billy Lott left end run 5, tackled by Dennit Morris.
(11:00) 2-10 u10 Penalty, Oakland, false start at u10 for 2.
Gamebook noted that the markoff seemed to be in error.
(10:40) 2-12 u8 Penalty, Oakland, false start at u8 for 4.
Gamebook noted that the refs got it right this time.
(10:20) 2-16 u4 Billy Lott right tackle run 2.
(10:00) 3-14 u6 Tom Flores to Tony Teresa middle pass 29, first down, tackled by Joe Majors.
(9:40) 1-10 u35 Tom Flores to Charlie Hardy pass incomplete, wide.
Hardy caught the ball but was out of bounds. Houston declined Teresa illegal motion penalty.
(9:20) 2-10 u35 Tom Flores sacked by Dalva Allen for -10.
(9:00) 3-20 u25 Tom Flores to Billy Lott screen pass incomplete, dropped.
(8:40) 4-20 u25 Wayne Crow punt 34, downed at d41.

(7:40) 3-3 u48 Dave Smith center run 1, tackled by Ramon Armstrong.
(7:20) 4-2 u49 Charlie Milstead punt 41, returned by Tony Teresa from u10 for 2, fumbled by Teresa at u10, recovered by Teresa at u10.
Oakland drive, no score
(7:00) 1-10 u12 Tom Flores left end sweep -4, tackled by Hugh Pitts.
Gamebook: “Flores was dragged down by Pitts.” Hard to tell if it was an option-style play or whether it was actually called a quarterback sweep in the huddle. Or maybe it was a rollout pass.
(6:40) 2-14 u8 Jetstream Smith left guard draw 0.
(6:20) 3-14 u8 Tom Flores to Tony Teresa middle pass incomplete, overthrown.
(6:00) 4-14 u8 Wayne Crow punt 31, downed at u39.

(2:20) 1-10 d43 George Blanda to Charley Hennigan right flat pass 43, first down, touchdown.
Gamebook: Hennigan got behind Macon in coverage, caught the ball at the 29, and took it in from there.
2:01 d2 George Blanda extra point, good.
Oakland drive, Houston ahead, 7-0
2:01 u40 George Blanda kickoff 60, touchback.

15:00 1-10 u49 Jack Larscheid to Tony Teresa long pass 38, first down, tackled by Julian Spence.
Gamebook: “Larscheid took pitchout then passed long.”
(14:37) 1-10 d13 Tom Flores to Tony Teresa pass 13, first down, touchdown.
Gamebook: “Teresa alone in end zone.”
14:13 d2 Larry Barnes extra point, good.
Houston drive, tied 7-7

(11:18) 3-10 u28 Jetstream Smith right end run 9.
(11:06) 4-1 u37 Wayne Crow punt 42, fair catch by Billy Cannon at u21.
Gamebook: “Crow punted to Cannon who strangely signaled for fair catch.” Because he had plenty of room to run? Because the ball was nowhere near him? Who can say? The gamebook didn't.
Houston drive, tied 7-7
(10:44) 1-10 u21 Billy Cannon right end run 2.
(10:26) 2-8 u23 George Blanda to John Carson left flat pass 10, first down.

(7:32) 4-12 d49 Wayne Crow punt 43, returned by Charley Tolar from u6 for 9, tackled by Joe Barbee.
Houston drive, tied 7-7
(7:15) 1-10 u15 George Blanda to Charley Hennigan right flat pass 13, first down.
(6:54) 1-10 u28 Billy Cannon left end run 2, penalty, Houston, illegal use of hands at u30 for 15.
Cannon ran for 13, but statistically, he was limited to a gain to the spot of the foul.
(6:40) 1-23 u15 George Blanda aborted play 0, fumbled by Blanda at u13, fumble yards -2, recovered by Dave Smith at u13.
(6:22) 2-25 u13 George Blanda to Billy Cannon screen pass 2, tackled by Ramon Armstrong.
Gamebook: Dougherty made initial hit before Armstrong got him.
(6:05) 3-23 u15 Dave Smith left end draw 7.
(5:48) 4-16 u22 Charlie Milstead punt 28, downed at m50.
Oakland drive, tied 7-7
(5:30) 1-10 m50 Tom Flores pass incomplete, hurried.
Gamebook: “Flores was hit as he threw.”
(5:13) 2-10 m50 Jetstream Smith left tackle draw 3.
In a pattern that would repeat itself several times over the course of the season, Parilli came in at quarterback following a play in which Flores was hit or tackled. Rarely, if ever, was there evidence that Flores had been hurt on the play, so it's possible that Erdelatz had a thing about not letting his quarterback stay in after a physical play, but I don't know that, either.
(4:55) 3-7 d47 Babe Parilli to Charlie Hardy left flat pass incomplete, short.
(4:38) 4-7 d47 Wayne Crow punt 47, touchback.
Houston drive, tied 7-7
(4:21) 1-10 u20 Dave Smith left end run 0.
The Raiders declined an illegal motion penalty on the play.
(4:03) 2-10 u20 George Blanda to Charley Hennigan right flat pass 9.
The gamebook listed the gain at 10 yards, but short of the first down. It took a while for the Oakland scorer to get acquainted with the statistical rule that advised otherwise, so the early gamebooks were often littered with corrections penciled in after the fact.
(3:46) 3-1 u29 George Blanda to Dave Smith left flat pass incomplete, dropped.
(3:28) 4-1 u29 Charlie Milstead punt 34, downed at d37.
Oakland drive, tied 7-7
(3:11) 1-10 u37 Babe Parilli scramble 9.
(2:54) 2-1 u46 Jetstream Smith right end sweep -6, tackled by Dalva Allen.
(2:36) 3-7 u40 Babe Parilli to Billy Lott left flat pass -2, tackled by Mark Johnston.
(2:17) 4-9 u38 Wayne Crow punt 49, fair catch by Billy Cannon at u13.
Houston drive, tied 7-7
(2:01) 1-10 u13 George Blanda to John Carson left flat pass incomplete, dropped.
(1:44) 2-10 u13 Penalty, Houston, offside at u13 for 5.
The penalty nullified a Cannon run for 15.
(1:27) 2-15 u8 Dave Smith right end run 2.
The Raiders declined a clipping penalty.
(1:09) 3-13 u10 George Blanda to John Carson pass incomplete, overthrown.
(0:52) 4-13 u10 Charlie Milstead punt 33, returned by Jack Larscheid from d43 for -5.
Oakland drive, tied 7-7
(0:34) 1-10 d48 Tom Flores to Tony Teresa left flat pass 19, first down.
(0:17) 1-10 d29 Larry Barnes field goal 37, no good, wide.

Notes and conventions
All time of possession figures are rough approximations.
Time stamps in the play-by-play surrounded by parentheses are based on a simple arithmetical division of the time between time stamps in the gamebook. No account has been taken of things like clock stoppages for incomplete passes and so on.
I stole the yard line convention from somewhere, maybe Football Outsiders, but I don't remember. Anyway, yard lines marked “u” for “up” are on the offense's side of the field. Those marked “d” or “down” are on the defense's side.
Gamebooks of this era were wildly inconsistent regarding the direction and type of plays. I have included this information where present, but it's probably not useful for drawing significant conclusions.
