@@GeorgeFitness-yo8bl Yeah...that team would beat most teams that had come before or after them. They were LOADED!!! And they would've smacked the 49ers if they had beaten Washington in that year's NFC title game. The sad travesty from that era of Raiders football was: The Raiders should have had at least one more Super Bowl title from '83 through '86, at least another SB appearance. Al Davis's undying love for the horrific Marc Wilson, doomed the Raiders on many occasions during that time period.
I've watched just about every Super Bowl since 1973. Super Bowl XI is my most memorable. I grew up in Santa Rosa, California, which is where the Raiders had their training camp. This was in the 1960s and 1970s, so I was a major Raider fan. In January of 1977, I was stationed as a young US Army soldier in Germany. I was extremely disappointed when my 1st Seargent ordered me to perform guard duty on the same day the Raiders were playing in Super Bowl XI. My plan was ruined to watch the game on Armed Forces TV. that night. My platoon was taken out to the NATO 12 ammo facility near Erlangen Germany to guard. I had a plan not to miss the game. Around 10 p.m. I smuggled a small transistor radio up into the guard tower with my weapon. I tuned to Armed Forces Radio and listened to my Raiders win the Super Bowl. Up there in that guard tower, I was screaming and yelling in the dark, and no one could hear me! What a great memory.
@TheGlass50 That same night around 0100 hours after listening to the game and finishing my guard duty shift, I returned back to the NATO 12 ammo facility barracks and ran into a guy who was a Minnesota Vikings fan who told me all week before the game how the Vikings were going to destroy the Raiders in this Super Bowl. When I saw him, I said, "Oakland Raiders World Champions." He was silent.
Is not that NFL doesn't want to, it's partly because the city of Pasadena doesn't want it. Traffic and resources is a headache to deal with, even during the NCAA Rose Bowl.
Thank you for posting this! Seeing my grandpa coaching special teams defense on the sidelines has made me extremely happy tonight. I miss him so much. ❤
Man I loved this Raider squad. Casper, Villapiano, Van Eighen, Hendrix, Tatum, and my all-time hero, Kenny Stabler. Finally in the HOF. Love ya and miss ya Kenny. RIP my hero.
@Jim Stark a lot of players are fine. That is why they get the big bucks. The NFL sucks now, because they minimize the risk. You can watch mediocrity, I won't. Besides, they didn't headhunt and use the crown back then --- it was hard hitting football. The game today has been ruined by both owners and the Union.
As a coach, John Madden was a Hall of Famer and one of the all time greats. As a broadcaster, he was even better than he was as a coach. Most people never find one thing they are truly great at. He was one of the best that ever lived in two careers.
I believe this was also the last Super Bowl that had two placekickers that kicked straight away, not soccer style, Earl Mann and Fred Cox. You don't see these type of kickers anymore.
@jack brandt The first Patriot Super Bowl winner got there via the absurd call, famously called "the tuck rule game." No one, in the history of football, has been the victim of more officiating mistakes than The Raiders. The blown call on the Lytle fumble cost the country a chance to see The Raiders matched up against the Cowboys, in 78. Imagine that, Snake versus Roger the Dodger. The best Superbowl that never happened...
Love how all the Pats fan complain about a call that was conclusively an elbow to the the quarterback's head. When you ask them why it should not have been called, all they have is because they are SAD. I've watched it 20 times and Papa Bear slams Stabler in the head. Still couldn't stop the Raiders after that and all they had to do was hold them to a field goal......
Our 25" RCA color console TV, the kind of TV that was in a bulky wooden cabinet, crapped out a few days before that Super Bowl so we wound up watching the game at my grandparents house on their new 19" Zenith Chromacolor II my grandfather bought himself for Christmas 2 weeks before, he bet on the Vikings and lost $50
What’s wrong with celebrating you can appreciate every era of Football instead of downplaying a whole generation for no reason other than you’re nostalgic for this era of football
The Oakland Raiders of the Madden Era... My most cherished memories of the NFL...much more than tough, blood & bones competition, the Raiders played with a reckless passion that made football so much fun to watch.. miss you guys!
I love how when the game is over, the players just run off the field. No tee shirts, no hats, no confetti, etc. No post game on field celebration whatsoever!
keith clark yeah it was although I think Super Bowl 12 between Denver and Dallas was also during the day but since it was it the Superdome it was hard to tell. I hate the fact the Super Bowls at night now I don't see any reason why I can't be at 4 Eastern Time 1 in the West.
I remember watching this game as though it was yesterday. What a bunch of great players the Raiders and the Vikings had. Kenny The Snake Stabler was my favorite and Dave Casper was a monster. Thank you for the memories.
Not to get too technical but this actually was last super bowl to be completed under daylight on the west coast. Super Bowl X was the last one on the east coast.
@@che1925 The league doesn't care about that. All they care about is the $$. Young fans of teams who are taken to the games by their dads in cold weather regions(Green Bay, Pittsburgh, New England) that begin at 6:30pm where the night time temperature is 20 degrees and drops to low teens or single digits.
It was a weird game for MVP selection. Davis was great but he didn’t score. Stabler had an average game and Belitnikoff only caught four passes and didn’t score. Casper actually played better than Belitnikoff and he scored a touchdown. The Raiders missed two extra points and still won by eighteen points.
God bless you Madden even though I was a young 7 year old Viking fan when this game was played I still respect the win and the joy you brought my son years later playing Madden NFL.
This was back in the day when I would know every starter on all the good teams. There were sometimes a player or two that were replacements for injured guys that I didn’t know. For the most part there was much less turnover in player personnel over the years that gave the league continuity.
Exact same with baseball. Those powerhouse '70s teams were fixed and iconic so much so that 50 years later I can tell you the Dodgers, Reds, Yankees, A's, Phillie's, Royal's, and Padre's lineups without hesitation. Boxing was GREAT, and the Olympics still meant something. What a time to be a sports fan.
@@patrickbrowder6857 yes. I'm not even a huge baseball fan (that happens when your team is the Astros) but I could name all the infielders for the big Red Machine.
@@davidr5961 .....stop...Raider beat the Steelers 31-28 in the regular season in 1976, then again 24-7 in the playoffs in 1976 ....and beat the Steelers again in Pittsburgh in the second game of the 1977 season. In fact, Raiders offense ran all over the Steelers defense in the '76 playoffs and the Steelers had no injuries on that side of the line. Raiders were just stronger in that part of the decade. In the 1970's, the Steelers and the Raiders played each other 14 times and had a 7-7 record. They met in the playoffs 5 times during the '70's and the Steelers had a 3-2 record although the Steeler wins were very close (immaculate reception, 24-13 and 16-10) and the Raider wins were blowouts (33-14 and 24-7). Great rivalry. Can't speak for the Vikings but they had great players but were just smaller than their AFC opponents (Dolphins, Steelers, Raiders).
If the NFL was still like this, I'd still be a fan. That Tatum hit was like a car crash, helmet goes one way, chinstrap the other but he held onto the ball!
Ken Stabler was my favorite all time player...went to Canton to see him get inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame...it was a bittersweet thrill without him there to give his acceptance speech but I am sure it would have been a good one with a story or two about this 1976 team...the best of all Raider teams in my opinion...they were awesome that season!
He was fun, but he probably would have been fired in today's PC age. I have a MNF game from Denver in 1973 and whenever they showed a closeup of a female, he would be all over it, "Look at that one Frank!" You know the crew was all men and it was a big frat party to them. Those days are long gone from TV.
Can you post that game? I love watching old MNF games from the 1970s. Meredith, Cosell and Giffords had great chemistry, the kind you just cannot find anymore these days.
Yeah, but....but....but....players can't have any fun unless they're allowed to act like showgirls after they score a touchdown. I mean, not a single player in this game had any fun. [/sarcasm]
1:39:15 Jack Tatum demonstrates the difference between football then and football now. That hit on Sammy White would probably get him ejected, fined, and possibly placed under arrest today. All it drew back in 1977 was an instant replay. Also, Sammy White hangs onto the ball despite being decapitated and being named “Sammy.”
While it definitely shows the difference between eras, I think the change was for the better. It should have never been legal to target someone's head like that. You didn't have to have all the medical information on concussions to know that knocking someone out is a cheap blow. And that was a cheap blow.
Actually Tatum would have been legal with that hit today. He hit with a shoulder and did not hit the receiver in the head/neck area. The penalty would have been on Raiders number 26 for going to the Head. Tatum was legal watch the slow-motion replay.
Even though I always hated Al Davis and the Raiders. I loved John Madden. Such a loveable talented coach and broadcaster. He passed away 12/28/21. R.I.P. Uncle John. Thanks for so many wonderful memories. Love You!
Greatest Raider play of ALL time, Stabler's TD run before Franco's Immaculate Reception. I didn't think the Raiders would ever win a Super Bowl. I thought they had no chance in this one. Raider magic.
My dad was a life long Raiders fan, he tragically passed away in 2015 and ever since the Raiders have been 1 of my 2 teams as I just don't have the heart to hate on them. To see this game in 2020, all I can do is imagine watching this through the 11 year old eyes my father would have had at that time and feeling what he would have felt seeing his favorite team win their 1st Superbowl.
Thanks for posting !!! As a kid this was the 1st Super Bowl I watched from beginning to end. I miss the day time Super Bowls. Greed really has ruined the NFL. Used to love the NFL, not so much anymore.
indeed. all sports pretty much stink now. greed and stupid athletes that look and play like robots. is it real or just a video game? no one knows anymore. every game looks the same. sad indeed
My Vikes ! 🏈💖⭐️ this was a beautiful/ colorful Super Bowl even though Minnesota was NEVER in any of the 4 Super Bowl losses 😳 Blocking Ray Guy’s punt was the best part of this game ! “ Old Man Willie ! “ 🌈
McClanahan fumble was the difference. If the Vikings score Stabler would have started throwing pics and the raiders would not have run the ball. Minnesotas secondary would have had a couple pick sixes and Fran would have not forced that ball that willie got if the vikes were ahead.
The most winnable was against Pittsburgh as they only lost by 10. The one against the Chiefs they would’ve done better had they not gotten sloppy with the ball. But yes, they were completely outmatched against Miami and Oakland
This was the first time I saw Football game back in 1975; ever since than I got hooked to watch the Raiders Games every Season. I didn't understood NFL then, but it sure feels good when your team wins.....
The hit on Sammy White at 1:39:20 Been in NFL (Films) highlights ever since. But not only is that an illegal hit today, Jack Tatum would be penalized for "targeting/hitting a defenseless player", "taunting" (as he stands over White), and probably fined by the league. Amazing how times change peoples' perceptions of events.
Jack Tatum was very dirty player who used "the hook"to try to break people's neck and finally did in a preseason game to Daryl Stingley of Patriots in 78.Rules were finally changed because of him
Ben: on the Daryl Stingley play, Daryl's momentum carried his head right into Tatum. No question Tatum saw the ball zing by, and it being a preseason game he could have let up but that particular hit wasn't dirty, especially for those times.
PRHILL: I agree it's no longer football but for me it's because of things like the extra-point line and the touchback line being changed. I don't have a problem with new rules trying to protect players.
He definitely would have got a helmet to helmet penalty. I didn't think he stood over him all that long but yes, the way he puts his shoe right next to Sammy's head after the hit would be taunting
Amazing to see men simply competing against men without needing to overreact/overcelebrate/complain. Additionally, the game is simply being called, no broadcasters trying to overtalk and make it about themselves and no excessive marketing and advertising.
@Francis McCloskey . . . I agree with your sentiments. The way TV coverage of the NFL has been handled during the past 20 years has made it nearly unwatchable for me.
I hate the overdone TV graphics and players celebrating every first down. For these old guys, it was a day at the office. Make a first down or a big play, they'd just walk back to the huddle for the next play.
First year watching football in ‘76, bicentennial year too. I’ll never forget this game. Willing to bet that the same can be said for Sammy White! Fan in the crowd screamed out that his head flew off with his helmet. Old time football 🏈
This is the game that really woke me up to the NFL and to love the Oakland Raiders, I lived in San Jose and watched it at a friends house just to be close to his sister. I don’t think I payed much attention to here at all during the whole game.
I'm a lifelong Raider fan! Pete Banaszak was a neighbor Ken Stabler lived near my elementary school. Back in the day when most players had a job during the off-season! John Madden was my first coach. My first game memory was SB XI. I remember the players carrying him on their shoulders i was 6yrs old! I hate the 9ers and the Cowboys but I watched the games because coach was covering the game. RIP Coach!.....Rest in Pea....... BOOM!!
I went to this game when I was ten. Merlin Olsen got us tickets. He and my dad grew up together in little Logan, UT and remained good friends throughout their lives. Who’d have ever guessed I’d be sitting on my bed 45 years later watching it again on my telephone? Three things I remember most were the halftime (all 100,000 of us participated. I was worried I’d screw up and ruin the show.) 2nd was the insane....and slightly terrifying Raiders fans. And third was when Merlin came to visit between quarters, fans clambering for his autograph, I felt like the coolest kid in the stadium. Not the most eventful Super Bowl, but Great memories, even for a Bronco fan.
I grew up a Vikings fan and I remember watching this game when I was 10 years old. I'm 55 now and the Vikings still haven't been back after losing 4 out of 4 of the first 11 Super Bowls.
Me,too. I turned 56 in May. Remember this game like it was yesterday. At one point late in the game, Bud Grant is laughing. It's clear winning a championship game was not THAT important to him. AS A RESULT, his teams played like it. The Raiders were just toying with the Vikes. The Vikings did not look like a SB team IN ANY OF THE 4 GAMES. Watchng THIS GAME again, they look BAD. Bud Grant may have been a great regular season coach, but he absolutely sucked in Super Bowls. He was completely outcoached in 4 SBs. Outscored 95-34, never led in any of the games, and the team looked dreadful, slow,and predictable. They never tried anything creative and Tarkenton was garbage in the 3 he played in. Absolute crap.
@@scottwolf497 the afc was just too dominant in the 70s . The Vikings only competition were the cowboys in the nfc. . They ran in to legendary teams with insane defenses.

am i dead wrong(it had to called dead by whistle after recovery) but did anyone actually touch raider lb willie hall? without a whistle, couldnt he have got up and ran?
In the super bowl era, the 1976 Raiders are so underrated among the great 1-year title teams in league history. Teams besides the obvious '72 Dolphins, '85 Bears, '89 49ers etc. overshadow to date the best Raiders team ever.
I know Geek that all of the sb's until the Pats/Rams game following the '01 season (first ever Feb. championship game)was played in January. My point was that this SB Raiders/Vikings was the last ever one played before January 15. FYI. The NFL went to the current 16 game regular season soon after and the first prime time super bowl (kickoff around 6pm et) was the next year (Dallas/Denver.) Finally before the AFL/AFC merger created the super bowl, following the '66 season, the NFL Championship game was played by no later than New Years Day.
I WISH I GREW UP IN THIS ERA OF RAIDERS FOOTBALL. THIS IS WHAT COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE IS ALL ABOUT!!! 1976 NFL SUPER BOWL 11# CHAMPIONS!!! MVP: FRED BILENTIKOFF
Back when they hadn't the foggiest clue about the long-term brain-damaging effects of frequent hits and blows to the head. A lot of these guys ended up with CTE and died with it, including Stabler. The other great Raider quarterback from back in those days, Jim Plunkett, gave an interview about how much his life sucks now -- he's in constant pain and has serious trouble remembering things. The bodies are bigger and stronger and faster -- but the brains remain the same.
I don't think so: everything on internet; I ❤️ oldies football; I ❤️ Watching my hero play football:: : first superbowl I do not think they a whole game
WhT makes these historic games so special are the play by play led by the great Curt Gowdy and Dandy Don" Meredith. Truly a treat to listen to their musical voices...this Raiders team was arguably the finest of all time. Stacked with talent!
Clifford Branch bought some shoes from me about 20 years ago when I worked at Saks 5th Ave. Darrell Griffith was with him. They were in great shape and looked like they could still play.
1:43:09 "At this point, the Raiders had two options. They could fence and parry, to protect their lead. Or they could attack! To destroy and demolish!"--John Facenda
Each of the 4 SB losses convinces me, that the problem was ALWAYS Bud Grant. The teams were always ill prepared and could never make adjustments Their best chance for redemption, would've been keeping Joe Kapp.
The next SB was Dal-Den at the Superdome. I think an NFL Films cameraman said that compared to the daylight beauty of this game, that one was "like shooting in a men's room".
He kicked For the lions, as a Lions fan He blew so many games for the Lions he was a terrible kicker, how he was in the NFL is beyond me, But back then they didn't have real good kickers only a few teams did!
I think this is the one where We go sledding in Firestone Park in Akron, OH and then come back for the 4th Qtr....but that was a great snow and tube day....couldn't miss it.
Still had a handful of players from HBC schools in this game. More defensive lineman helping up QBs than you'll ever see today. No obvious jawing going on during the game. It was a gentleman's game back then.
Madden is honestly the king of football. All living generations have appreciation for 3/4 realms he excelled in (we don’t know how he would’ve been as a player)
Wins one Super Bowl don't think so Gibbs is far better and won 3 super bowls with 3 different QBs and then there's that guy out on the east coast Bill, Jimmy Johnson was better than Madden
John madden the greatest coach or al Davis: coaching; laugh ; laugh; Oakland raiders won another superbowl with similar Oakland raiders football team Jim Plunkett as quarterback & different coach
We will forever miss that big ol' slick watermelon Coach John Madden. I was a month old in 1976 when the Raiders won the SUPERBOWL and I have been a fan ever since. RIP John Madden. Icon... Maverick... Legend.
I love how absolutely dominant and complete the Raiders were in every aspect of the game that season… than than you got Mann out here kicking absolute bricks 😆
Went to this game 44 years ago today and absolutely cannot believe it's been that long. What a team the '76 Raiders had, favorite team ever..
Yes very roided up and masters of cheap shoting defenseless people. Alvin Roy the human steroid pez dispenser should have got the Lombardi Trophy.
@d0xin the (Fr)auditors you’re weird
Raiders 83 team was light years better than this team!
@@GeorgeFitness-yo8bl Yeah...that team would beat most teams that had come before or after them. They were LOADED!!! And they would've smacked the 49ers if they had beaten Washington in that year's NFC title game.

Nope. Slow.
Major respect to Sammy White for being able to hold on to the ball after a hit like that.
THIS. One of the most famous hits in NFL history -- it is often overlooked that White held on to the ball!

Yep I love hearing Dandy Don Meredith on the game
If the full Sea Of Hands game tape exists, anywhere, I haven't seen it, I am pretty sure there is a full Holy Roller game that can be found.
Kyle Damron I have scheduled an upload of the Holy Roller game and it should be available at midnight EST, December 4, 20200.
@@davidcobb2693 thanks a ton!

This was the last Super Bowl to finish under daylight.
Not to get too technical but this actually was last super bowl to be completed under daylight on the west coast. Super Bowl X was the last one on the east coast.
Yeah why does it have to start so damn late, it's on Sunday. Start at 4PM ET, still 1PM PT plenty late enough.
They should bring it back. They seem to forget people are drinking and partying and then got to go to work the next day.
@@che1925 The league doesn't care about that. All they care about is the $$. Young fans of teams who are taken to the games by their dads in cold weather regions(Green Bay, Pittsburgh, New England) that begin at 6:30pm where the night time temperature is 20 degrees and drops to low teens or single digits.
I mean if the NFL wants to grow their fanbase in London, maybe they shouldnt start their postseason games so late.
Clarence Davis deserved the MVP. 16 carries for 137 yds. 8.56 ypc!!!
Shell and Upshaw.
@@1981expos greatest left side ever offensive line; jim otto too
Yeah, I was surprised by that, too.
Belitnakoff was the sentimental pick
It was a weird game for MVP selection. Davis was great but he didn’t score. Stabler had an average game and Belitnikoff only caught four passes and didn’t score. Casper actually played better than Belitnikoff and he scored a touchdown. The Raiders missed two extra points and still won by eighteen points.
God bless you Madden even though I was a young 7 year old Viking fan when this game was played I still respect the win and the joy you brought my son years later playing Madden NFL.
I know Madden was relieved to finally win it all. They had entered their 4th straight afc championship game prior to winning this Superbowl
This was back in the day when I would know every starter on all the good teams. There were sometimes a player or two that were replacements for injured guys that I didn’t know. For the most part there was much less turnover in player personnel over the years that gave the league continuity.
Before players made real money.
Exact same with baseball. Those powerhouse '70s teams were fixed and iconic so much so that 50 years later I can tell you the Dodgers, Reds, Yankees, A's, Phillie's, Royal's, and Padre's lineups without hesitation. Boxing was GREAT, and the Olympics still meant something. What a time to be a sports fan.
@@patrickbrowder6857 yes. I'm not even a huge baseball fan (that happens when your team is the Astros) but I could name all the infielders for the big Red Machine.
man that raiders team was loaded.
LOL In more ways than one!!
They were fortunate to catch a steelers team that year, plagued with injuries
@@davidr5961 .....stop...Raider beat the Steelers 31-28 in the regular season in 1976, then again 24-7 in the playoffs in 1976 ....and beat the Steelers again in Pittsburgh in the second game of the 1977 season. In fact, Raiders offense ran all over the Steelers defense in the '76 playoffs and the Steelers had no injuries on that side of the line. Raiders were just stronger in that part of the decade. In the 1970's, the Steelers and the Raiders played each other 14 times and had a 7-7 record. They met in the playoffs 5 times during the '70's and the Steelers had a 3-2 record although the Steeler wins were very close (immaculate reception, 24-13 and 16-10) and the Raider wins were blowouts (33-14 and 24-7). Great rivalry. Can't speak for the Vikings but they had great players but were just smaller than their AFC opponents (Dolphins, Steelers, Raiders).
They had a super great left side offensive line; skill players they had a legendary wide receiver other than that regular skill players
@@r8ersfan lol Peruvian marching powder...
I was 9 years old. Bought a book called 'Ken Stabler and The Oakland Raiders' . Became Silver & Black for life. Mark VanEeghen was my hero
hahahaha... i was 6 years old and i got that same book out of the RIF book mobile... raider fan ever since.
Brian Powers read the year of the snake
11 years old for me a Dallas fan do feel bad for Grant never won a SB
practically every player on this oakland raiders offense is in the hall of fame.
If the NFL was still like this, I'd still be a fan. That Tatum hit was like a car crash, helmet goes one way, chinstrap the other but he held onto the ball!
This is it Curtis! Yeah!! Snake and company finally brought the title to Oakland during the 76 NFL season. Greatness.
Fred bilitnikov played in this game wearing no shoulder pads what an animal
Bilitnikoff sounds like the name of a bad ass Russian assassin with a ton of kills to his credit
Ken Stabler was my favorite all time player...went to Canton to see him get inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame...it was a bittersweet thrill without him there to give his acceptance speech but I am sure it would have been a good one with a story or two about this 1976 team...the best of all Raider teams in my opinion...they were awesome that season!
Same here...the greatest 🏈🏈🏈He was the reason I became a Raider fan... He was the face of the Raiders...R.I.P. snake 🤙🍺🏈🏈🏈🏆🏆🏆
I miss Don Meredith. He brought a breath of sanity to the game. And hell of a QB as well.
He was fun, but he probably would have been fired in today's PC age. I have a MNF game from Denver in 1973 and whenever they showed a closeup of a female, he would be all over it, "Look at that one Frank!" You know the crew was all men and it was a big frat party to them. Those days are long gone from TV.
Can you post that game? I love watching old MNF games from the 1970s. Meredith, Cosell and Giffords had great chemistry, the kind you just cannot find anymore these days.
He got beat up in the Ice Bowl I felt bad for him I think he broke his nose dandydon should have won a Superbowl rest in peace brother
And he taught us that it was OK to like iced tea in winter.
Whining milionares are not just a vehicle of the left, Robert Kraft is a prime example of whiney right wing millionare/billionare.
1:57:58 the great James Garner, legendary actor of TV series Maverick and The Rockford Files who was a diehard Raider fan..
He was a Korean War vet with two purple hearts as well.
I love that the NFL is posting full games. I MISS FOOTBALL!!!
Back when players still had class!! Didn't act like they won the lottery on a 1st down!!
So damn true.
Yeah, but....but....but....players can't have any fun unless they're allowed to act like showgirls after they score a touchdown. I mean, not a single player in this game had any fun. [/sarcasm]
"Yessir"
Yup! Snake, Ghost, Fred B even Ray Guy......Just don't make 'em like that anymore...
Helping guys on the other team back up
1:39:15 Jack Tatum demonstrates the difference between football then and football now. That hit on Sammy White would probably get him ejected, fined, and possibly placed under arrest today. All it drew back in 1977 was an instant replay. Also, Sammy White hangs onto the ball despite being decapitated and being named “Sammy.”
No kidding!
While it definitely shows the difference between eras, I think the change was for the better. It should have never been legal to target someone's head like that. You didn't have to have all the medical information on concussions to know that knocking someone out is a cheap blow. And that was a cheap blow.
@todd long It would only be illegal because he hit with his helmet. But if Tataum hit him a little lower, that would still be a legal hit today.
@@kennethsmith1636 Ask any receiver if given a choice would he rather take a hit to his head or to his knees, he choose his head
Actually Tatum would have been legal with that hit today. He hit with a shoulder and did not hit the receiver in the head/neck area. The penalty would have been on Raiders number 26 for going to the Head. Tatum was legal watch the slow-motion replay.
Even though I always hated Al Davis and the Raiders. I loved John Madden. Such a loveable talented coach and broadcaster. He passed away 12/28/21. R.I.P. Uncle John. Thanks for so many wonderful memories. Love You!
i loved when the Super Bowl was played in the Rose Bowl.
Me too!!! Just a beautiful venue for a game. Super Bowl
XXI Giants vs Broncos was one of my all time favorite games
Rosebowl isn't good enough for a superbowl today
The Oakland raiders was my dad's favorite team i also loved the raiders in the 70s
Then you should be a fan if not your not a real son!
❤️ 1970s/ 1980s Oakland raiders football teams
Its easy to forget how good Dave Casper was. He was the essential offensive playmaker and you know The Snake trusted him.
Greatest QB Oakland ever had.
Here,here .🍺.🤙"The Snake" was the greatest. My favorite Raider and my favorite player. R.I.P. Ken Stabler 🏈🏈🏈💛❤💛🏆🏆🏆
You can pick any position on this team and the starter could easily have been pro bowlers if not all pro. This a top 5 team of all time
You're forgetting Todd Marinovich? (Sarcasm)
Greatest Raider play of ALL time, Stabler's TD run before Franco's Immaculate Reception. I didn't think the Raiders would ever win a Super Bowl. I thought they had no chance in this one. Raider magic.
What about gorge blanda?
Ray Guy has yet to be replaced. He's without question the best punter any pro football league has ever seen.
My dad was a life long Raiders fan, he tragically passed away in 2015 and ever since the Raiders have been 1 of my 2 teams as I just don't have the heart to hate on them. To see this game in 2020, all I can do is imagine watching this through the 11 year old eyes my father would have had at that time and feeling what he would have felt seeing his favorite team win their 1st Superbowl.
I was also 11 during Super Bowl 11. I was in Glendale, California watching the
Raiders win. Most Marines know why they are called Raiders.
Bless you John Madden Raider Nation and all of NFL lose a legendary man What warmth he brought into our lives and homes
I was born this year. This is the wonderful part of UA-cam and the internet. We can see these treasures from the past
Im a Raiders fan this is the 1st Super Bowl I can remember watching i was 8 yrs old now coming up on 56 still a Raiders fan. RN4L
Thanks for posting !!!
As a kid this was the 1st Super Bowl I watched from beginning to end. I miss the day time Super Bowls. Greed really has ruined the NFL. Used to love the NFL, not so much anymore.
indeed. all sports pretty much stink now. greed and stupid athletes that look and play like robots. is it real or just a video game? no one knows anymore. every game looks the same. sad indeed
This was my 1st superbowl too.....this was the most complete raiders team ever.....great watching it again
Much better having night games
This is the first Superbowl I remember watching the pregame show for.
My Vikes ! 🏈💖⭐️ this was a beautiful/ colorful Super Bowl even though Minnesota was NEVER in any of the 4 Super Bowl losses 😳 Blocking Ray Guy’s punt was the best part of this game ! “ Old Man Willie ! “ 🌈
McClanahan fumble was the difference. If the Vikings score Stabler would have started throwing pics and the raiders would not have run the ball. Minnesotas secondary would have had a couple pick sixes and Fran would have not forced that ball that willie got if the vikes were ahead.
@@abcall-timesboxingchanneln7076 excellent point 👀✌️
The most winnable was against Pittsburgh as they only lost by 10.
The one against the Chiefs they would’ve done better had they not gotten sloppy with the ball.
But yes, they were completely outmatched against Miami and Oakland
This was the first time I saw Football game back in 1975; ever since than I got hooked to watch the Raiders Games every Season. I didn't understood NFL then, but it sure feels good when your team wins.....
Curt Gowdy with Dandy Don Meredith ahhhhhh so good. Loved those days!!! Me and my dad together watching TV.
me to.....you just knew it was big game when gowdy was on the call with dandy don
This was the last time a Super Bowl was played in its entirety in daylight.
The best commentator in the building was coaching that day.
The hit on Sammy White at 1:39:20
Been in NFL (Films) highlights ever since.
But not only is that an illegal hit today, Jack Tatum would be penalized for "targeting/hitting a defenseless player", "taunting" (as he stands over White), and probably fined by the league.
Amazing how times change peoples' perceptions of events.
Jack Tatum was very dirty player who used "the hook"to try to break people's neck and finally did in a preseason game to Daryl Stingley of Patriots in 78.Rules were finally changed because of him
Ben: on the Daryl Stingley play, Daryl's momentum carried his head right into Tatum. No question Tatum saw the ball zing by, and it being a preseason game he could have let up but that particular hit wasn't dirty, especially for those times.
PRHILL: I agree it's no longer football but for me it's because of things like the extra-point line and the touchback line being changed. I don't have a problem with new rules trying to protect players.
He definitely would have got a helmet to helmet penalty. I didn't think he stood over him all that long but yes, the way he puts his shoe right next to Sammy's head after the hit would be taunting
@@bensantiago4557 Was NOT a dirty player. Simply hit hard. Used the hook to break up passes, not break people's necks.
Amazing to see men simply competing against men without needing to overreact/overcelebrate/complain. Additionally, the game is simply being called, no broadcasters trying to overtalk and make it about themselves and no excessive marketing and advertising.
@Francis McCloskey . . . I agree with your sentiments. The way TV coverage of the NFL has been handled during the past 20 years has made it nearly unwatchable for me.
Exactly this b's today is crazy I don't even want to look I'm Giants fan were garbage
I hate the overdone TV graphics and players celebrating every first down. For these old guys, it was a day at the office. Make a first down or a big play, they'd just walk back to the huddle for the next play.
First year watching football in ‘76, bicentennial year too. I’ll never forget this game. Willing to bet that the same can be said for Sammy White! Fan in the crowd screamed out that his head flew off with his helmet. Old time football 🏈
You and I both!
This is the game that really woke me up to the NFL and to love the Oakland Raiders, I lived in San Jose and watched it at a friends house just to be close to his sister. I don’t think I payed much attention to here at all during the whole game.
One of the greatest teams in NFL history
Yup. Vikings were a good team.
@@toscodav I think the 1975,1974, etc etc Vikings were better
Art shell , gene upshaw jim otto best left offensive left side ever
Oakland raiders 1876/ 1977
Super Bowl X was the last Super Bowl played on the east coast to start and end in daylight.
The Raiders had an awesome offensive line for this game
Rest In Peace John Madden. Thank you for helping my Raiders win their first super bowl and for idolizing the nfl video game franchise known as Madden.
I'm a lifelong Raider fan! Pete Banaszak was a neighbor Ken Stabler lived near my elementary school. Back in the day when most players had a job during the off-season! John Madden was my first coach. My first game memory was SB XI. I remember the players carrying him on their shoulders i was 6yrs old! I hate the 9ers and the Cowboys but I watched the games because coach was covering the game. RIP Coach!.....Rest in Pea....... BOOM!!
I went to this game when I was ten. Merlin Olsen got us tickets. He and my dad grew up together in little Logan, UT and remained good friends throughout their lives. Who’d have ever guessed I’d be sitting on my bed 45 years later watching it again on my telephone?
Three things I remember most were the halftime (all 100,000 of us participated. I was worried I’d screw up and ruin the show.) 2nd was the insane....and slightly terrifying Raiders fans. And third was when Merlin came to visit between quarters, fans clambering for his autograph, I felt like the coolest kid in the stadium. Not the most eventful Super Bowl, but Great memories, even for a Bronco fan.
That is a great story!!!
What memories you must have.
I grew up a Vikings fan and I remember watching this game when I was 10 years old. I'm 55 now and the Vikings still haven't been back after losing 4 out of 4 of the first 11 Super Bowls.
Same here, as a Viking fan nothing but disappointments.
Me,too. I turned 56 in May. Remember this game like it was yesterday. At one point late in the game, Bud Grant is laughing. It's clear winning a championship game was not THAT important to him. AS A RESULT, his teams played like it. The Raiders were just toying with the Vikes. The Vikings did not look like a SB team IN ANY OF THE 4 GAMES. Watchng THIS GAME again, they look BAD.
Bud Grant may have been a great regular season coach, but he absolutely sucked in Super Bowls. He was completely outcoached in 4 SBs. Outscored 95-34, never led in any of the games, and the team looked dreadful, slow,and predictable. They never tried anything creative and Tarkenton was garbage in the 3 he played in. Absolute crap.
@@scottwolf497 the afc was just too dominant in the 70s . The Vikings only competition were the cowboys in the nfc. . They ran in to legendary teams with insane defenses.

Might've been the 'turning point' in the game. If the Vikings score there, who knows how the game might've played out.
am i dead wrong(it had to called dead by whistle after recovery) but did anyone actually touch raider lb willie hall? without a whistle, couldnt he have got up and ran?
NFL aa
In the super bowl era, the 1976 Raiders are so underrated among the great 1-year title teams in league history. Teams besides the obvious '72 Dolphins, '85 Bears, '89 49ers etc. overshadow to date the best Raiders team ever.
FYI. The last sb (probably forever in the early part of January (1977).)
AmericanGiant100 No they were all in January until the NFL added a bye week and expanded to 32 teams
I know Geek that all of the sb's until the Pats/Rams game following the '01 season (first ever Feb. championship game)was played in January. My point was that this SB Raiders/Vikings was the last ever one played before January 15.
FYI. The NFL went to the current 16 game regular season soon after and the first prime time super bowl (kickoff around 6pm et) was the next year (Dallas/Denver.) Finally before the AFL/AFC merger created the super bowl, following the '66 season, the NFL Championship game was played by no later than New Years Day.
The Dolphins won back to back in 1972 AND 73, they weren't a great 1 year title team. Do some homework first
AFL/AFC merger in '66? The first year of the AFC was 1970 season.
I WISH I GREW UP IN THIS ERA OF RAIDERS FOOTBALL. THIS IS WHAT COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE IS ALL ABOUT!!! 1976 NFL SUPER BOWL 11# CHAMPIONS!!! MVP: FRED BILENTIKOFF
Casper was gronk in the 70s
True
The og gronkowski
you mean gronk is the new casper
+Breezy Brees lol you wish
+Breezy Brees comeback to me when jimmy graham has a season that comes to even close to the 17 td and 1300+ yard season.
Wow I seen assistant coach for Vikings on the sidelines smoking a cigarette😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 those were the days
Do a quick google image search and I'm sure you'll find pix of Fred Biletnikoff burning a Pall Mall in the locker room.
Back when quarterbacks played tackle football along with everyone else!
AND called the plays
Back when they hadn't the foggiest clue about the long-term brain-damaging effects of frequent hits and blows to the head. A lot of these guys ended up with CTE and died with it, including Stabler. The other great Raider quarterback from back in those days, Jim Plunkett, gave an interview about how much his life sucks now -- he's in constant pain and has serious trouble remembering things. The bodies are bigger and stronger and faster -- but the brains remain the same.
Yeeeeeeesssssssssss
@@JustCallMeKen Stick to hopscotch 😂
If the NFL ever released these games in their entirety on DVD, that's make millions.
Ur damn right
I don't think so: everything on internet; I ❤️ oldies football; I ❤️ Watching my hero play football:: : first superbowl I do not think they a whole game
WhT makes these historic games so special are the play by play led by the great Curt Gowdy and Dandy Don" Meredith. Truly a treat to listen to their musical voices...this Raiders team was arguably the finest of all time. Stacked with talent!
Im only 30yrs old, nothing is more enjoyable to me these days then watching these old football games.
The Tooz...what a character...great in North Dallas Forty and died at age 38.
His autobiography was interesting as well.
John Matuszak also played the giant human monster called "Sloth" in the movie "The Goonies".
You listen to Don Meridith, and you realize how GREAT Al Derogatis was as Curt Gowdy's partner in the booth all those years.
Different styles. I enjoyed both "Dero" and Dandy Don"
Man, going back over this reminds folk how badass Upshaw and Shell were on the left side!
Like Walter Jones and Hutchinson for Seattle in early 2000s
Clifford Branch bought some shoes from me about 20 years ago when I worked at Saks 5th Ave. Darrell Griffith was with him. They were in great shape and looked like they could still play.
Alan Page was one of the best defensive linemen to ever play in the league.
Forgotten great.
Something so awesome and so pure about these old games. love it
It would be interesting to see a Super Bowl with the Vikings vs the Bills!!
That’s what I’ve always said
It. Would end in a tie 😂
@@Charles-n8pThere are no ties in playoff games, they are played until someone wins, last time I checked

Branch Biletnikoff Casper, what a crew !!
My Vikes! 40 years of HEARTBREAK!! 1969 I was 6 years old till 2009' vs the Saints! Enough! I was 14 here and was so pissed 40 years ago on 1/9/77!
DITTO
.i remember the drunk SAD adults
THAT was a depressing winter in mn
Each of the 4 SB losses convinces me, that the problem was ALWAYS Bud Grant. The teams were always ill prepared and could never make adjustments
Their best chance for redemption, would've been keeping Joe Kapp.
I was really shocked that the 98 Vikes lost to the Falcons in the NFC championship. That team was incredible
You can add the 2015 NFC WC game to that. The Blair Walsh fg miss
The next SB was Dal-Den at the Superdome. I think an NFL Films cameraman said that compared to the daylight beauty of this game, that one was "like shooting in a men's room".
5:38 - Lucky for the Raiders that this game didn't come down to a last minute field goal. Why they kept Errol Mann for another season is beyond me.
He cost them a chance to win the 1977 AFCChampionship game when he missed an easy fieldgoal try at the end of the Raiders opening drive.
He kicked For the lions, as a Lions fan He blew so many games for the Lions he was a terrible kicker, how he was in the NFL is beyond me, But back then they didn't have real good kickers only a few teams did!
@@vincentmesa7024 Was that the game where Rob Lytle's fumble was called a non-fumble? A devastating and unfair moment!
The voice of sports, the best ever- Curt Gowdy.
I think this is the one where We go sledding in Firestone Park in Akron, OH and then come back for the 4th Qtr....but that was a great snow and tube day....couldn't miss it.
Clearance Davis should have been MVP in this super bowl.

RIP Coach Madden. So glad you were able to win this one!!

Great player, unfortunate name.
Still had a handful of players from HBC schools in this game. More defensive lineman helping up QBs than you'll ever see today. No obvious jawing going on during the game. It was a gentleman's game back then.
Madden is honestly the king of football. All living generations have appreciation for 3/4 realms he excelled in (we don’t know how he would’ve been as a player)
The greatest coach of all time john madden
Wins one Super Bowl don't think so Gibbs is far better and won 3 super bowls with 3 different QBs and then there's that guy out on the east coast Bill, Jimmy Johnson was better than Madden
John madden the greatest coach or al Davis: coaching; laugh ; laugh; Oakland raiders won another superbowl with similar Oakland raiders football team Jim Plunkett as quarterback & different coach
