The Examiner reported that, according to a New Orleans-based source, the David Dixon group trying to buy the Raiders offered the team owners $400,000 for the franchise.

Head coach Red Conkright said that he might start Hunter Enis at quarterback against the Chargers on December 2 and was also considering trying halfback Bo Roberson as a wideout. Conkright also said he planned to cut back on the offense's use of the Running Gun formation, saying that opponents were starting to figure it out.

Fullback Clem Daniels' knee injury was improving and he was expected to be back in the starting lineup against the Chargers.

Defensive tackle Chuck McMurtry (knee) and defensive end Jon Jelacic (elbow) were ruled out for the game.
