This was was a great moment from my childhood. The Right Stuff was my favorite movie and CBS used its soundtrack as the backdrop to the highlights. Big, big Raiders fan and the premier of my favorite television series (Airwolf) was later that evening. The Raiders played a flawless game in that Super Bowl. Great time to be a nine year old!
The Raiders dominated that game. That screen pass that got returned for a touchdown pretty much iced the game. Instead of been doing 14 to 3 the Redskins were down 21 to 3 at half time. Marcus Allen was great during the game, but the defense just blitzed Theismann to death and John Riggins could get any yards with all those carries. People forget that the Redskins at that time had the highest scoring offense in the NFL EVER! So holding them to 9 points was just jaw dropping.

Soon as the Raiders signed Mike Haynes they formed into a great defense that 2nd half of the seaosn.
