Плей-офф Американской футбольной лиги

В течение первых девяти сезонов, с 1960 по 1968 год , Американская футбольная лига определяла своего чемпиона посредством единственной игры плей-офф между победителями двух своих дивизионов (хотя ничья в турнирной таблице в 1963 году (восточный) и 1968 (западный) вызвала необходимость в плей-офф дивизиона на тай-брейке. игра за неделю до этого).

В 1969 году , на десятом и последнем году независимой AFL с десятью командами, была проведена решающая встреча с четырьмя командами, при этом команды, занявшие второе место в каждом дивизионе, путешествовали, чтобы сразиться с победителем другого дивизиона в так называемом «межотраслевом» плей-офф. Эти решающие встречи не было, и не считаются были, « шаблонные » плей - офф , так как второе место в обоих дивизионах квалифицированных, а двух лучших победителей без деления. (Если бы плей-офф 1969 года был настоящим плей-офф с подстановочными знаками, команда Western, занявшая третье место, Сан-Диего (8–6–0), прошла бы квалификацию, в то время как занявшая второе место Eastern команда Хьюстон(6–6–2), не было бы.) Плей-офф AFL 1969 года был лишь вторым случаем, когда крупная профессиональная футбольная лига США позволила командам, не занявшим первое место (включая ничьи), участвовать в плей-офф после сезона (первый был плей-офф Всеамериканской футбольной конференции 1949 года с семью командами).

До появления Суперкубка в сезоне 1966 года AFL пошла на все, чтобы не планировать плей-офф лицом к лицу с НФЛ. В 1960 году игра НФЛ проходила в понедельник, 26 декабря; у AFL был выходной, и они сыграли свой титулв воскресенье, 1 января, поскольку в понедельник играли в игры в чашу колледжей. В 1961 и 1962 годах AFL играла свою игру в нерабочие дни между окончанием регулярного сезона NFL и титульной игрой (таким образом, AFL проводила игры за первенство 24 декабря 1961 года и 23 декабря 1962 года, то есть неделю. перед играми НФЛ 31 декабря 1961 г. и 30 декабря 1962 г.). В 1963 году AFL провела свой тай-брейк в восточном дивизионе в субботу, 28 декабря 1963 года, тем самым избежав игры чемпионата НФЛ в то воскресенье (игра чемпионата AFL проводилась 5 января). В 1964 году у профессионального футбола были чемпионские уик-энды: в субботу, 26 декабря, состоялась титульная игра AFL, а в чемпионате NFL - чемпионат.в воскресенье. В 1965 году AFL попыталась вернуться к практике игры по воскресеньям в нерабочие дни между плей-офф NFL, назначив соревнование за звание чемпиона на 26 декабря, в то время как игра NFL не проводилась до 2 января 1966 года; К сожалению, « Кольтс энд Пэкерс» потребовалось провести тай-брейк на Западной конференции 26 декабря, и, поскольку эта игра перешла в сверхурочное время, телеаудитория титульной игры Bills - Chargers в Сан-Диего значительно уменьшилась. Даже в 1966 году AFL изначально планировала свой чемпионский матч на выходные, планируя провести плей-офф в понедельник, 26 декабря, за шесть дней до титульного матча NFL 1 января.

Переговоры до первого Суперкубка в начале декабря 1966 года привели к тому, что две лиги согласились иметь двухглавых чемпионов в течение следующих четырех лет, при этом каждая из них будет проводить свои титульные игры в один и тот же день, но в шахматном порядке, чтобы телезрители могли смотреть обе. Таким образом, последние четыре игры чемпионата AFL были проведены в тот же день, что и игра чемпионата NFL: 1 января 1967 года; 31 декабря 1967 г .; 29 декабря 1968 г .; и 4 января 1970 г.

Pro Football Зал славы и Национальная футбольная лига включает AFL плей - офф в своей статистике для плей - офф НФЛ .

The Bills went into the 1966 AFL Championship having already won the game the previous two years. Though the game was to be played in Buffalo, the visiting Kansas City Chiefs were three-point favorites, mainly because of their explosive and innovative offense led by Head Coach Hank Stram. The Bills were a more conventional team with a solid defensive line and a running mindset on offense.

Kansas City dominated the game from start to finish, forcing four turnovers (without losing any themselves) and outscoring Buffalo 24–0 over the last three quarters.

On the opening kickoff, Fletcher Smith's short kick was fielded by defensive end Dudley Meredith, who promptly fumbled the ball, and KC punter Jerrel Wilson, who also played on the kick coverage team, recovered it for the Chiefs on the Bills 31-yard line. This led to the first score of the game, a 29-yard touchdown pass from Len Dawson to tight end Fred Arbanas . After an exchange of punts, Buffalo tied the game when receiver Elbert Dubenion raced ahead of defensive back Fred Williamson, caught a pass from Jack Kemp at the Chiefs 45, and raced all the way to the end zone for a 69-yard touchdown reception.

Later on, Mike Garrett's 27-yard punt return gave the Chiefs a first down on the Bills 45-yard line. After a few plays, Dawson made a key 15-yard completion to Arbanas on the Buffalo 29. It was the last catch of the day for Arbanas, who ended up leaving the game with a separated shoulder, but it paid off big time as Dawson threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to Otis Taylor on the next play, giving the Chiefs a 14-7 second quarter lead. Buffalo responded with a drive deep into Chiefs territory, featuring Kemp's 30-yard completion to rookie receiver Rob Burnett on the Kansas City 12-yard line. But in what turned out to be one of the most crucial plays of the game, Kemp's next pass was intercepted in the end zone by safety Johnny Robinson, who returned it 72 yards to the Bills 28. Mike Mercer eventually cashed in the turnover with a 32-yard field goal that gave the Chiefs a 17-7 halftime lead.

The third quarter was a defensive struggle with each team punting twice. Near the end, Kansas City got the ball on the Bills 42-yard line, but failed to score when Mercer missed a 49-yard field goal attempt.

In the fourth quarter, the Chiefs put the game away with consecutive touchdown drives. First, Dawson's 45-yard completion to Chris Burford gave the team a first down on the Buffalo 4-yard line. Garrett then ran the ball on the next four plays, his last carry a 1-yard touchdown run. Then on the first play of Buffalo's next drive, receiver Glenn Bass lost a fumble that was recovered by Bobby Hunt and returned 21 yards to the Bills 20-yard line, leading to the final score of the game on Garrett's 18-yard touchdown burst. Buffalo could do nothing with their next drive, and on their final one of the day, Kemp was intercepted by Emmitt Thomas.^[1]^[2]

Dawson was near perfect, completing 16/24 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 28 yards. Garrett rushed for 39 yards and two touchdowns, caught 4 passes for 16 yards, returned a kickoff for 3 yards, and added another 37 yards on 3 punt returns. Kempt completed just 12/25 passes for 253 yards and a touchdown, with two interceptions. Burnett caught 6 passes for 127 yards.

The Oakland Raiders were ten and a half point favorites over the Houston Oilers in the 1967 AFL Championship Game. Quarterback Daryle Lamonica, acquired in a trade from the Buffalo Bills in the offseason, led the Raiders to a 13–1 record, throwing 30 touchdown passes in the process. The Oilers went from last place in the Eastern Conference in 1966 to first in '67, beating out the New York Jets by a game. Most of the Oilers' offense centered on big fullback Hoyle Granger, and a midseason quarterback trade for the shifty Pete Beathard (sending their own starter, Jacky Lee, to the Kansas City Chiefs) proved to be the spark that turned Houston's season around.

The previous meeting between the two teams had been a close game won 19-7 by the Raiders, with Lamonica struggling offensively. This was not the case in the rematch. Oakland took a 10–0 lead in the second quarter on a 69-yard run down the left sidelines by Hewritt Dixon, and on a fake field goal attempt Lamonica passed to Dave Kocourek for the 17-0 halftime margin. Former Oilers quarterback George Blanda, who had led Houston to the AFL's first two championships, kicked four field goals for the Raiders. Houston did not score until the fourth quarter, when they already trailed 30–0.

Oakland lost Super Bowl II to the NFL champion Green Bay Packers.
