In scoring a 38-29 victory to run their season's record to 12-1, the Raiders dropped the Jets a full game back of Houston Oilers who downed San Diego, 24-17, Saturday afternoon.

Now all the Oilers have to do is beat or tie Miami next Saturday night to qualify for a shot at the Raiders for the league title. The Jets have to beat San Diego next Sunday, and hope Houston is beaten in order to wind up in a tie for the Eastern pennant and force a playoff. THE JETS jumped to an early 7-0 lead when Don Maynard scampered 25 yards for a touchdown on a Joe Namath pass. Namath raced over from the three and it was 14-10 for the Jets in the second period.
