Raiders suffer Super Bowl hangover

The Oakland Raiders opened the 1977 season at home to defend their World Championship title.

But a team known for partying and playing great the next day looked as if it had one too many and no aspirin in sight as Oakland hosted the San Diego Chargers.

Rick Jennings fumbled the opening kickoff for the first of seven (7!!!) Raider turnovers, including four Ken Stabler interceptions as the Chargers stunned the champs 36-14,

The Chargers' defense, led by "Big Louie" Kelcher, also sacked Oakland quarterbacks seven times. Hal Stringert ran back one Stabler interception for a score.

James Harris tossed two touchdown passes for the Chargers.
