 +</fs>
 +
 +(5:13) 2-10 m50 Jetstream Smith left tackle draw 3.\\
 +<fs small>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.

 +<fs small>The Raiders declined an illegal motion penalty on the play.
 +</fs>
 +
 +(4:03) 2-10 u20 George Blanda to Charley Hennigan right flat pass 9.\\
 +<fs small>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.

 +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.
