On the first play of a series midway through the third period, Flores spotted Bo Roberson at the Denver 10. Roberson fell as he caught the pass, but scrambled to his feet and scored on the 59-yard play A 20-yard pass from Flores to Art Powell and a 14-yarder to Roberson helped the Raiders move from their 35 to the Bronco 25 in five plays and then Powell shook loose in the end zone and grabbed a 25- i yarder for the touchdown.

Al Frazier ran the kickoff back 99 yards after Flores' second touchdown throw and an Oakland fumble at the 16 led to a Denver six- pointer in the final quarter.
