That year was magical. They were expected to finish 5th in the division coming off the 1979 season. 2-3 start and Pastorini was out for the season. Then General Jim has a 9-2 run. That was my 1st semester Freshman year in college. Home to watch the playoffs for Christmas break. The amazing win in Cleveland. Vanquishing the Chargers. Caught that SB game with my dad at his VFW post. Those 3 ints by Martin and Kenny King going 80 yards up the sideline were the plays I remember most vividly.
A great memory for me was not just Kenny King running 80 yards, but seeing the relatively slow Bob Chandler leading the way.

I was at the regular season game vs the Chargers that year in Oakland that was essentially the game that turned the season around after starting 2-3. My first NFL game, Plunketts 1st start I believe that year. Raiders dominated that game..I’ve been a fan ever since.
