I got to that game so late it was already 24-0, San Diego, when I got there. I was so sad seeing that scoreboard, but as the Raiders were rallying back, I was starting to get more and more excited, along with everyone else at the Los Angeles Coliseum. This was the Raiders first ever Monday Night Home Game at the Coliseum.

Chargers WR Wes Chandler was on his way to a phenomenal season in 1982. Of course the strike wiped out 7 games for each team, but Chandler still went over 1,000 yards receiving. Chandler ended the season with a whopping 1,032 yards on 49 catches for an incredible 21.1 per catch average. And by the way, Chandler missed 1 game and thus played in only 8 games in 1982. 1,032 yards 9 TD in only 8 games!
70's and 80's for sure...soon as the 90's hit it was over...too much bullshit , prima donnas, kneeling for the anthem, ect ect...i dont even watch it any more
@@notoriousbig6199 He was 3-6 in the playoffs and NONE OF HIS TEAMS ever reached the Super Bowl! His teams were very predictable AND very beatable, 14 seasons as a Head Coach and only 6 playoff seasons, he's right where he belongs!
People who impacted the game belong in the HOF. Coryell changed the way offense is played. Calling his offense "Predictable" contradicts all the voices from that time: Gifford, Cossell, Olson, Engberg, Brodie. Coryell was so innovative he changed the way DEFENSE is played. Hall of Fame.
It was brutal but better. It should still be like this This was right after the 82 labor dispute and LA just never warmed up to the NFL. Plus the stadium was massive. a 65k crowd could look small there
This was the first-ever regular season home game for the Raiders in Los Angeles. It also was the first game after the strike, and there was a lot of fan apathy that developed IMO as a result of the strike that IMO never went away.
This game was barred from broadcast on KABC-TV in LA, KESQ in Palm Springs, KBAK in Bakersfield (now CBS), and KEYT in Santa Barbara, since it was not sold out. However, the nearby San Diego ABC affiliate, KGTV, was compelled to broadcast the game as the Chargers were the road team. Thus, there were probably many in the LA area who tried to get a signal from KGTV to watch the game, in defiance of NFL rules. This would happen whenever the Raiders played a non-sold out home game against the Chargers on either NBC or ABC during their time in LA. In 1986, the NFL stopped giving the Raiders home night games, due to how bad the neighborhood around the Coliseum had become. Having the Raiders play night games at Anaheim Stadium, then used by the Rams, was considered out of the question.

One thing about these old night games in multi purpose stadiums, was it always seemed like the field was poorly lit. Like they didn't always build them with either enough light or the light just was configured to light the field properly.
The Coliseum had the worst lights in the NFL by a mile. Even when the Rams moved back to LA a few years ago it was pretty dark on the field when they would play night games.
I love that Raiders-Chargers rivalry from '78 - '83. But it seems like the Raiders had the Chargers' number. The Raiders always won the big ones. Because they had offense and defense. The Chargers only had offense.
@@tonyarceneaux286 The funny thing is that in that time Bill Walsh up in SF seemed to have a knack for helping himself to SD and LA players. He shored up his defense with Big Hands Johnson, Fred Dean, as well as Hacksaw Reynolds and then scooped up Wendell Tyler from the Rams to bolster his running game. And the 9ers went on to win Super Bowls while both the Chargers and Rams languished as also-rans.

Dan Fouts was a Bucket Passing Master, meaning his best skill sets as a QB was the fact every pass he made was always on the money or in the bucket basket. But his true value was being an 80s QB whereas the last decade of real pro QBs being Tonka Tuff as this was the hardest aspect of a pro QB as of being tough minded leads to QBs who throw the ball away from being killed( Zach Wilson like QBs of college hype until getting killed in Pros due to being cowardly)

I agree, but i think Tom Flores and his 2 rings as head coach 1 as asst. Coach, and 1 as back up qb should get him in too. Both these coaches although very different are excellent
If the Chargers had merely had a *mediocre* defense -- instead of one of the *worst in history* -- I'm sure Coryell would have been inducted twenty years ago.
@Aldon Smith 99 If you look up their team stats for that era, you'll see their running game, although not the best in the league obviously, was actually quite good. The fact that they had a good running game was one of the reasons they were able to throw the ball so successfully.
With regard to Plunkett, many claim it's because of his unimpressive career passing statistics.

There have been three Monday Night Football 24-0 comebacks, all in the AFC West. This game, 1988 when the Raiders came back to beat the Broncos, and in 2012 when the Broncos came back to beat the Chargers...
LA was Always able to support two NFL teams...as long as they were winning. The Dodgers & the Lakers are the only teams that fans will come out for even when they are losing. There's too much to do in Los Angeles & ticket prices are too high to support a losing football team

It was blacked out as would most Raider games. I suspect one reason the Raiders never drew well at the LA Coliseum was the fact their first home game (which THIS game was) came after the strike that year and the Lakers had already taken their foothold. LA has proven to be a Laker town first for 40 years now and the one city where the NBA trumps the NFL.
@@WaltGekko Given the fact that the "Mausoleum" had a capacity of about 93,000 in those days, even with big crowds that would normally fill a stadium, the Raiders couldn't get the sellout needed by the Thursday before the weekend to lift the black out the NFL required. It was tough for Raider fans. as we even had a couple playoff games blacked out (Jan 1, 1984 vs the Steelers and the following week versus the Seahawks on Jan 8th). Both games had over 90k in attendance but didn't sell out by the previous Thursday.
@@philliptesoro908 Al Davis was a fool to move there! He saw $$$, assuming they'd sell out the huge place. But he forgot that the Rams rarely sold out, so they put temporary seats in to shorten the field, and bring capacity down to 63,000. Even now, I think it's a stupid idea for L.A. to have two football and basketball teams.
The whole Charger franchise should be in the Hall of shame and blame, blowing 24 pt leads, fumblin, stumbling Chuck Muncie, how about last year collapse vs the toothless Jags, their playoff 24 pt lucky to win vs Miami, the list goes on and on.
I think the Chargers are the only team in NFL history to blow two 24-0 leads on Monday night football...Peyton Manning did that to them about 10 years ago...
@@wanderer34 Jefferson was easily replaced by Chandler in my opinion. Fred Dean was always complaining about money, he even held out from the 49ers in 1984.
Jeff Mitchell Chandler had the speed but Jefferson was the better WR overall. I feel had JJ stayed, we would’ve talked about him in much the same vein as Jerry Rice today. Chandler was very good but the spirit of the Chargers was JJ, and once he left, SD regressed into a pretender.
Why did the network producers keep televising plays from the endzone late in the second quarter? If they were doing it to be annoying, then mission accomplished.
Disagree. They should do the end zone views more often. It gives the viewer a chance to see the play develop and how it looks to the quarterback. One mans opinion.
@@rebeccawormell7832 Yet the Raiders still won because of Benirschke's miss. That was my point. But in fairness to him, if the Charger defense had simply done its job, it would never have come down to a missed field goal in the first place. In those days a high school football team could have moved the ball up and down the field against San Diego.
This is the Raider's first season in LA-the beginning of a love affair with the them by the gangs of LA. The Coliseum was never lit up appropriately for the area that it was in. (ghetto) Not only the inferior lighting for the playing field, but for the swaths of total darkness in many parts of the stadium, with fans petrified of the thug element that would breach the gates after halftime, and wreak havoc throughout the stadium. With the stadium being built in the 20's, naturally they set aside parking for the era's of the 20, 30' and 40's, which was woefully inadequate, as LA would become the biggest automobile market in the world. Because of such, much of the paying patrons for games, were forced into the surrounding ghetto to park, and needless to say, there was no shortage of crime upon them. It's to bad, as the Colisseum is a legendary venue, that of course hosted two editions of the summer Olympics, not to mention being the home field for the USC Trojans. Still, the whole are need to be lit up like the sun at night, replete with serious law enforcement patrols round the clock.

There have been three Monday Night Football 24-0 comebacks, all in the AFC West. This game, 1988 when the Raiders came back to beat the Broncos, and in 2012 when the Broncos came back to beat the Chargers...
Thanks to their Swiss cheese "defense," the Chargers had a gift for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in those days.
Even worse: Marty Schottenheimer. He was the NFL's version of Gene Mauch. Never could bring home the big one!
@@davidlafleche1142 Coached in 18 playoff games (which is a feat in itself), but won only 5 of them.
AMEN to that. Heart breakers.
This outta be a goodie. Best announcers together ever.
I miss Gifford announcing the Monday night game , rosell, meredith was great too
Ron Wallace *Cosell
I remember this game. I was 12 years old in 1982.
Me too! Awesome times! God, what I would give...
I was 13 and excited to have a team back in LA
@@michaelchristop2000 just curious... do you think that LA will be able to support two NFL teams now?
LA was Always able to support two NFL teams...as long as they were winning. The Dodgers & the Lakers are the only teams that fans will come out for even when they are losing. There's too much to do in Los Angeles & ticket prices are too high to support a losing football team

the coliseum was always so dark at night, like here. no lights in the end zones, and beingbin a semi-residential area made night games (which the l a. raiders never played, as i think this is the l.a. raiders' only MNF appearance at the coliseum) look like they were being played in a cave
i just remembered they played miami on MNF at the coliseum too. marino's debut i believe.

Dan Fouts made the Air Coryell offense fly 💸.
I’m a Raiders Fan living in Steeler Country Here In PA.. but Marcus Allen & Lester “The Judge.” Hayes Were My Favorite Raiders... But I Think when U talk about Best Ever Secondaries Hayes Haynes Vann McElroy Davis have to Be Mentioned With Best Ever Along With the 70s Steelers...

Millen was an absolute beast
1:27:20. I think McElroy strips the ball from Muncie before he is down. Clearer on the replay. Officials missed that one.
I'd love to have been there...
The "hit" on Fouts at the 33:00 mark would be a 15 yard penalty these days
And definitely a fact if it were the raiders
This was the first regular season home game for the LA Raiders.

The Chargers name and logo was created and originated in L.A. 1960 ⚡️🐴🏈
The only thing disappointing was the opening. We didn't get the beginning of the Monday night opening/ song
Football played outside on real grass.
This was when players wore adult sized shoulder pads. Jerseys were simple with no unnecessary lines and stripes.
Back in The Day...when DB were. allowed to play Pass Defense ...
Lighting at the '82 LA Coliseum - lots of shadows.

Epic choke job by the Chargers.
A year before the 1983 RAIDERS Superbowl 18 Champs.
It was Oakland’s assembled team.
L.A.Chargers the true original L.A. born team now back playing in the original birthplace of L.A.

Bradshaw said Fouts was better than Brady
Was this game shown in L.A. that night? I was living in that area but I was 4 at that time.
It was blacked out as would most Raider games. I suspect one reason the Raiders never drew well at the LA Coliseum was the fact their first home game (which THIS game was) came after the strike that year and the Lakers had already taken their foothold. LA has proven to be a Laker town first for 40 years now and the one city where the NBA trumps the NFL.
@@WaltGekko Given the fact that the "Mausoleum" had a capacity of about 93,000 in those days, even with big crowds that would normally fill a stadium, the Raiders couldn't get the sellout needed by the Thursday before the weekend to lift the black out the NFL required. It was tough for Raider fans. as we even had a couple playoff games blacked out (Jan 1, 1984 vs the Steelers and the following week versus the Seahawks on Jan 8th). Both games had over 90k in attendance but didn't sell out by the previous Thursday.
@@philliptesoro908 Al Davis was a fool to move there! He saw $$$, assuming they'd sell out the huge place. But he forgot that the Rams rarely sold out, so they put temporary seats in to shorten the field, and bring capacity down to 63,000. Even now, I think it's a stupid idea for L.A. to have two football and basketball teams.
Games like this made the fans think the Raiders could pull out any game for decades after this. Too bad it was seldom true.
great game! go raiders!
2:10:05
The coming of TODD CHRISTENSEN
A true renaissance man indeed; loved classical music and literature...RIP
Once Plunkett discovered him, the whole game turned around.
13:57 looks like its dark at that end of the field
The whole Charger franchise should be in the Hall of shame and blame, blowing 24 pt leads, fumblin, stumbling Chuck Muncie, how about last year collapse vs the toothless Jags, their playoff 24 pt lucky to win vs Miami, the list goes on and on.
2:19:35 is the boxing match that caused Cosell to stop doing boxing.
1:42 "doubtlessly" a Howardism I guess
Why was Cosell shaking?
Maybe Cosell was Charged up!
Because he was a drunk and had the shakes
Two Super Bowl wins as a starter and the NFL still hasn't (won't?) honored Plunkett with induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. WTF the NFL!
The PFWAA is responsible for HOF inductions, NOT the NFL!
Put the Gold back in the Silver and Black.

I think the Chargers are the only team in NFL history to blow two 24-0 leads on Monday night football...Peyton Manning did that to them about 10 years ago...
I was born in 73' this Chargers team was the first I liked.
A dammed good team...
2:09:40...McElroy....could always hit.....in today's game, he's suspended.
Dandy don I think was a little tipsy
Chargers may have won SB XVI if they didn't give up Fred Dean to the 49ers.
Christian Wootton or John Jefferson to the Packers
@@wanderer34 Jefferson was easily replaced by Chandler in my opinion. Fred Dean was always complaining about money, he even held out from the 49ers in 1984.
Jeff Mitchell Chandler had the speed but Jefferson was the better WR overall. I feel had JJ stayed, we would’ve talked about him in much the same vein as Jerry Rice today. Chandler was very good but the spirit of the Chargers was JJ, and once he left, SD regressed into a pretender.
And the Bengals would have won SB XVI if they would’ve made Bill Wash their coach...
Why did the network producers keep televising plays from the endzone late in the second quarter? If they were doing it to be annoying, then mission accomplished.
As I remember it was a foggy night.
Disagree. They should do the end zone views more often. It gives the viewer a chance to see the play develop and how it looks to the quarterback. One mans opinion.
1:59:38 - That missed field goal attempt (which was well within Benirschke's range) was what cost the Chargers this game.
The Raiders ran all over them.
Not so sure, don't forget that Bahr missed a short one too.
@@rebeccawormell7832 Yet the Raiders still won because of Benirschke's miss. That was my point. But in fairness to him, if the Charger defense had simply done its job, it would never have come down to a missed field goal in the first place. In those days a high school football team could have moved the ball up and down the field against San Diego.
chargers choke again!
Wow! These games from the 1980s are SOOO much better than the communist garbage on the field today! What a treat !❤❤❤
Hope Dandy Don lost that beard (3:25) in short order. He looks Ike Ori in The Hobbit.
Chargers thru the years always put together good teams but could never win the big one.
they poured all their resources into offense. the defense at best was a bit below average. At worst...terrible
This is the Raider's first season in LA-the beginning of a love affair with the them by the gangs of LA. The Coliseum was never lit up appropriately for the area that it was in. (ghetto) Not only the inferior lighting for the playing field, but for the swaths of total darkness in many parts of the stadium, with fans petrified of the thug element that would breach the gates after halftime, and wreak havoc throughout the stadium. With the stadium being built in the 20's, naturally they set aside parking for the era's of the 20, 30' and 40's, which was woefully inadequate, as LA would become the biggest automobile market in the world. Because of such, much of the paying patrons for games, were forced into the surrounding ghetto to park, and needless to say, there was no shortage of crime upon them. It's to bad, as the Colisseum is a legendary venue, that of course hosted two editions of the summer Olympics, not to mention being the home field for the USC Trojans. Still, the whole are need to be lit up like the sun at night, replete with serious law enforcement patrols round the clock.
