Just saw the news about Lionel "Little Train" James. Earliest game of Raiders heartbreak I remember was them losing in OT in '85, largely due to "Little Train" James. Six years old but was already taking copium to be a Raiders fan. The original Darren Sproles. RIP.
One of my favorite games ever. Fun fact: After this game, three armed robbers pulled a heist at Jack Murphy Stadium and made away with $300,000. It was the largest robbery in San Diego history at the time.
The Chargers/Raiders rivalry never gets old ! I love the Bolts ! Been my team for 40 years !Bout to have an amazing season!! Getting off to a helluva start !! Week 1 at Sofi Chargers vs Raiders ! And now we got a defense...so ready for this season!
Ooooo thank you my friend. Last season Air Coryell was a dominant offensive force. Fouts and the boys are my favorite non-49ers offense. Also, Don Criqui on the call. Double bonus. Lionel James went off in this game, and also got 1000 yards receiving on the season alongside Roger Craig.
The last gasps of Air Coryell. Even at his advanced age Dan Fouts could operate that offense efficiently like it was second nature to him. Just the previous year in '84 the Chargers had what I think was the greatest all around drive in Air Coryell history against the Dolphins.
He was one of the best pure PBP guys ever IMO. His decline was precipitous though but when you've been calling games since the 60s it gets hard to keep up to the pace of the game in 2010 (his last full year) There was a 5-6 year span where he and Steve Tasker did most Bills games. in the early 2000s. Sure made watching some bad teams somewhat palatable.
The great Don Criqui...he was NBC's #2 guy at this point behind Dick Enberg. Started on CBS...if you look up the old NFL on CBS intros from 1969 or 1970, you hear him in his younger days.
Raiders losing in OT to the Chargers the same day you break this one out. Typical. One of the first games I remember watching as a kid. Wish someone would've told me to get used to this as a Raiders fan.
Why Don Coryell is still NOT in Canton is beyond me. He was a REVOLUTIONARY in this game we come together for on Sundays. The committee is fucked up! #AIRCORYELL
@UCTlO3MgUhv0pZ0pSb2Vzhrw I disagree. The hall of fame is a popularity contest. What Coryell did for the league was monumental. All the deep and intermediate passing concepts used today are because him. Coryell not being inducted is a travesty! Why is Jerry Jones in the Hall-he didnt do shit!
You laugh, but Marc Wilson ruined my childhood with his "QB" play. Raiders should've been in the Super Bowl this year...but were ruined by his sorry play under center.
@@quincee3376 Tom Flores was 6-0 vs Don Shula. The same weaknesses New England exploited with Craig James and Tony Collins running, the Raiders would have running with MVP Marcus Allen and Frank Hawkins. Plus, the game would've been in Los Angeles not the Orange Bowl, even though the Raiders won there in 1981, 1984, and 1986.
Wes Chandler was a great one man. Everyone talks about Winslow but man Chandler was a crafty one. Do I dare say that he doesn’t get talked about enough!?
@@matthewdaley746 true, I’d say that Stafford is this generation’s Fouts. Not that anyone of them are terrible but the big games slip away from them it seems like.
@@osaji922 that one too. It begs the question, if they could put 30,000 opposing fabs in the Galaxy's soccer stadium, can they put 70,000 opposing fans in SoFi?
Los Angeles Raiders against archrival San Diego Chargers can't wait excitement Final Chapter 1993 Battle of quarterback Jeff Hostetler face against Stan Humphries 🏈
Marc Wilson. And it wasn't because of the opposing QB's. It's because his defense after 1980 was absolute GARBAGE. They really should've cashed in those first two chances he had in 1979 and 1980. They were THE team that matched up with the aging Steelers dynasty in 1979 and had home field in 1980, but of course lost to the Cinderella Raiders and Jim Plunkett. After that, the defense fell apart. They led the league in scoring this season as well as 1981 and 1982, but were never any higher than 24th in defense...and that was in a 28 team league.
Boy those raiders-chargers games were fun to watch, the excitement of chargers offense from wideouts, tight end and RB was hard to contain But despite having highest scoring offense in 85 they finish 8-8 cause there defense surrender so many points...Todd christentin was one heck of a player, raiders was im position to make superbowl with home field advantage and the league MVP but those Patriots upset everyone in AFC
Todd Christiansen was so special I can understand why hes not in the HOF as his peak years were not as many as some of the other tight ends of his era, but he was as good if not better than guys like Kellen Winslow for a stretch of his career. Id love to see him go in after we get Lester Hayes is. And Rod Martin should be in, and if you ignore Matt Millen the GM he had a HOF career 4 super bowls with 3 teams.
So right before the half was over, why did the QB throw the ball to the sidelines instead of just spiking it? I’ve never seen it done that way before cuz it obviously takes longer to do🤷🏻♂️
When Fouts was on a roll he was hard to stop.The undefeated Dolphins found that out the previous year.The Chargers offense usually played well against the Raiders even when the Raiders were good and Chargers bad.
Wes chandler with the 1 hander NO GLOVE catch?! , goddamn! Thats another reason why you just cant compare todays players with the old generations. The rule changes, equipment, play schemes etc.
@@nathanb.7641 IDK if you know this but the players the channel does highlights for are either HOFers, Perennial Pro Bowlers, good players that had short careers, or (rarely) celebrities that played in the NFL and Hawk doesn’t fit in any of those categories

Can’t get enough of these 80s games
Hell ya just need nfl films acess
Don Criqui and Bob Trumpy were a great NFL broadcasting duo in the 80s
They were incredible!!! So underrated
I was born in 89, i agree awesome duo. Makes these old games great to watch
Yes they were
I loved them too, Criqui was a pro and always showed excitement when necessarry
You can say that again!
These 85-88 Chargers unis are underrated.
The team with a thousand jerseys
Fire !!
Jack Murphy in San Diego... those were the days...
Definitely the coolest SD uniforms.
lets gooo i love these throwbacks from the 80s!
What a game old school football was fun to watch

Wow, robbers with 3 arms - must have been a crazy day
No way ! Im from Boston but lived in San Diego from 97-2000. I never heard that story. That is so cool ! Just another part of this great rivalry !!
RIP Jack Murphy/Qualcomm/SDCCU Stadium
I live right near the stadium slowly watching it get destroyed
2022 and still watching classic Chargers vs Raiders games from the 70’s and 80’s, the golden age of football!!!
Classic decade of the 1980's
I can feel the emotions of this game as if it was just played last sunday
The Chargers/Raiders rivalry never gets old ! I love the Bolts ! Been my team for 40 years !Bout to have an amazing season!! Getting off to a helluva start !! Week 1 at Sofi Chargers vs Raiders ! And now we got a defense...so ready for this season!
Can we please get more of these 80's and even 70's throw back games?
NBC's presentation was superb in the 80's. The announcers, the graphics, the audio....all of it was incredible.
Yessir 😎
It just slipped away from us
This game shows how the AFC in the 80s was a conference of offensive firepower. The NFC had all the defensive juggernauts.
Yeah besides the Raiders there weren't a lot of defenses that could pummel teams
Marcus Allen always looked as if he was jogging. I think that is why people said he was slow. The fact was,he was not wasting any effort.
Just like alot of great athletes who are beat up by the press. Eddie Murray in Baltimore and Randy Moss in Minnesota come to mind
Fantastic game!

This game is fun to see a rivalry
Great video quality for 1985. Outstanding
The afc west was so great in the 80’s!
At 2:53 Wes Chandler with an incredible one handed catch!! He was awesome. So was John Jefferson before him.
I remember the cowboys had him as thei wide receiver coach on hard knocks wthe cowboys
Dan Fouts looks like he's about to fall down every time he drops back to pass
Yeah, he fell right into the HOF after passing for over 43,000 yards in his great career.
@@millypoo7713 Nothing against his talent
John Elway did that as well in his early years, just the drop back then I guess
Yea that trot back drop when the play is to the left always looks ridiculous now
Theismann used the same dropback
The last gasps of Air Coryell. Even at his advanced age Dan Fouts could operate that offense efficiently like it was second nature to him. Just the previous year in '84 the Chargers had what I think was the greatest all around drive in Air Coryell history against the Dolphins.
Can I just say that this play-by-play guy is really good? Cuz he is lol
Don Criqui was always a great listen

i wish i could have seen this game
love these classics seeing the old formations and smashmouth style of play
Why Don Coryell is still NOT in Canton is beyond me. He was a REVOLUTIONARY in this game we come together for on Sundays. The committee is fucked up! #AIRCORYELL

I like how the crowd got louder for a fumble than a touchdown
That’s San Diego’s Crowd for ya lol
If Air Coryell have a solid D, and Fouts much more careful in playoffs, this Chargers could won at least 2 or 3 Super Bowl⚡⚡⚡⚡
Or some Winter weather gear? - Brian
1979's defense combined with fouts passing in 1981 would've made the dream team
Young Howard Stern was a awful Quarterback for the Raiders, no wonder why he stuck to a successful career in Radio.
You laugh, but Marc Wilson ruined my childhood with his "QB" play. Raiders should've been in the Super Bowl this year...but were ruined by his sorry play under center.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 Oh trust me, my Dad is a Raiders Fan. Loathed Marc Wilson with that worried look on his face.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 idk man. I bet Dolphins fans think they should have been in the SB in 85.
im confused, whyd you call him howard stern

Chargers kicker missing Field Goals? Oh big surprise.
The Lionel James Game
Definitely. Great player. Too bad he didn't play more seasons.
9:10 2020: 15 flags fly and 5 ejections
1985: meh, play on
R.I.P. Lionel Little Train James ⚡️
Lionel "Little Train" James was one of many mighty mites the Chargers had.
Imagine if he stayed healthy. Sadly he passed away a few years ago.
I love Todd Christensen. Not graceful or pretty, but he moved the chains, and that's a fact.
Right now ,Dec. 2020 old San Diego, Jack Murphy Stadium is being torn down.
An entire overtime game in under 35 minutes? Thanks. -Brian
Wes Chandler was a great one man. Everyone talks about Winslow but man Chandler was a crafty one. Do I dare say that he doesn’t get talked about enough!?
I think he is a Hall of Famer
this was the Chargers only non-losing season (8-8) from 1983-1992
1983-1991
They were 8-7 in 1987.
Lionel James. Wow!!
What a great game thx u , & keep them coming suggestion: week 7 1994 denver broncos vs san francisco 49'es or 1974 afc championship game
No disrespect to Philip Rivers or Drew Brees, but Dan Fouts is the greatest quarterback in Chargers history. PERIODT!
Dan Fouts is highly underrated
@@matthewdaley746 true, I’d say that Stafford is this generation’s Fouts. Not that anyone of them are terrible but the big games slip away from them it seems like.
What a game! Dahn Fahhts!
I like how NFL Throwback posts this on the day the Raiders and Chargers play
Almost as if that's what they always do
I miss my San Diego Super Chargers⚡️
Todd Christensen should be in the hall of fame.
Not a bad commentator either
I agree. He was the first TE I noticed in the NFL, second was Kellen Winslow.
Lionel James was the first Brian Westbrook!!!
Na'ah...there were plenty other guys well before him like Lenny Moore and Bobby Mitchell that were all purpose backs.
Those Chargers uniforms were awesome!
From Dan Fouts to Marcus Mariota and Justin Herbert! Oh we have the Oregon Big 3 right there!
Lmao I always forget Fouts was oregon legend
Never forget jack Murphy and the q
Football was golden back then and it's unwatchable now
My favorite Air Coryell game.
THIS GAME WAS CRAZY.............
"Los Angeles Chargers" just doesn't sound right!
Neither does "Las Vegas Raiders"
...or "Washington Football Team"
The team L.A. wanted back (the Raiders) vs. the team they got back (the Chargers)...
*the team they never wanted back (the Chargers)
@@osaji922 that one too. It begs the question, if they could put 30,000 opposing fabs in the Galaxy's soccer stadium, can they put 70,000 opposing fans in SoFi?
The Raiders should had played at SoCal Stadium in Inglewood 25 years ago if Al ego didn't got in the way
Love the uploads
Raiders: Besiktas!
Chargers: Fenerbahce!
Los Angeles Raiders against archrival San Diego Chargers can't wait excitement Final Chapter 1993 Battle of quarterback Jeff Hostetler face against Stan Humphries 🏈
Coming from a non charger fan I wish the Chargers were still in San Diego they actually had a fan base back then
Oh chargers, I feel bad for you
"Chahgers"
"Yahds"
This commentator's accent is oddly satisfying
The great Don Criqui
No wonder Fouts couldn’t win a Super Bowl. The dude had to sling it against QBs named...checks notes...Mark Wilson?
Marc Wilson. And it wasn't because of the opposing QB's. It's because his defense after 1980 was absolute GARBAGE. They really should've cashed in those first two chances he had in 1979 and 1980.

Lionel James was ballin
You should link the box score in the description of the videos so we can check out the stat lines
They play this Sunday night on NBC to see who go to the Playoffs
Dan Fouts drops back hella gumpy. 😂
I like the yellow pants of the early 80s on the Chargers better than the whites.

I watching the thrusday game right now
I was just gonna recommend you to make this video
Its funny how this year it went into overtime and the chargers won like this one
Little Train James was a beast
Lionel James 5 ft KING 👑
This game was the same as this night game .
11:42 sucks there was no replay back then...he barely got one foot down lol good game tho
Yess that’s my big brother Earl Wilson #98
6:29 how did he get that off?
Yo nfl throwback post the ravens vs chiefs 2018
Shiiit u right but nfl throwback does it way better tho but ok 😂😂
yessss
The Raiders usually kicked the Chargers tail in San Diego, not today
Lester hayes and Mike haynes best cb duo eva?
FOUTS OF SD
GO CHARGERS BOLT UP ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
A dirty play by the Raiders? Well I never!
If only you bought a ticket
