1967

Oakland Raiders

"With the winning of their first AFL Championship, 1967 will be remembered as a great season."

by Larry the Cable Guy

The 1967 Oakland Raiders had a dominant season in the AFL, going 13-1 and winning the league’s championship, 40-7 over the Oilers. In Super Bowl II against the Packers, however, the Raiders fell, 33-14. Oakland averaged an AFL-best 33.4 points per game, while their defense held opponents to 16.6 points, 2nd fewest in the league. Under head coach John Rauch and GM Al Davis, the Raiders won 10 straight games to end the regular season. QB Daryle Lamonica had an All-AFL season, leading the league with 30 TD throws to go along with 3,228 yards passing. Pro Bowl fullback Hewritt Dixon totaled over 1,100 scrimmage yards, while halfback Clem Daniels scored six touchdowns. Defensively, Hall of Fame cornerback Willie Brown had a Pro Bowl season with seven interceptions.

Cable Guy

Larry the Cable Guy is a stand-up comedian and actor who has starred in the TV shows “Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy” and “Bounty Hunters.” He has also appeared in movies such as “A Madea Christmas” and was the voice of Mader in the animated films Cars and Cars 2. Raised on a Nebraska farm, Larry the Cable Guy is a Packer fan because his wife grew up on a cattle ranch in Northern Wisconsin. Another reason is that in 2003, he saw Brett Favre on TV wearing a Larry the Cable Guy shirt that said “Get ‘er Done,” which is the comedian’s trademark line. “You’ve gotta be kidding me!” he excitedly said. “I’m a Packer fan now!”
