   There was something like two minutes left in the game. Shortly after the Heidi movie was broadcast and the football broadcast was cut off (Eastern and Central zones only, of course), the Raiders scored.

One of the Jets tried to pick it up and dropped it, only to have Preston Ridlehuber of the Raiders’ kickoff team pick it up and run it in all the way, putting Oakland in the lead. Then the clock ran out!(I don’t remember Ridlehuber ever doing anything remarkable again as a pro football player.)
