FBN--NFL At 100-AP Was There-Raiders-Chargers 1978
FILE - In this Sept. 11, 1978, file photo, Oakland Raiders tight end Dave Casper reaches for the tumbling football a moment before it rolled into the end zone and he fell on the ball for the game-winning score in the final minute of play against the San Diego Chargers, in San Diego. With nowhere to throw the ball, Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler either fumbled or pushed the ball forward on purpose, depending on which side of the rivalry is telling the story. Teammate Pete Banaszak then knocked the ball further ahead from about the 13-yard line as it rolled toward the end zone. Tight end Dave Casper kicked the ball forward at the 5 and then fell on it in the end zone with no time remaining. (Thane McIntosh/The San Diego Union-Tribune via AP, File)
