Super Bowl XVIII: Raiders 38, Redskins 9
In Adrian Hasenmayer's continuing series of Super Bowl rankings, these are the games from Super Sundays that we wish would be erased from existence. Washington entered this game as solid favorites, understandable considering their league-best 14-2 record and since the 'Skins had already beaten the Raiders once in the regular season. But it was quickly apparent that they would not repeat the feat. The Raiders blocked a punt for a first-quarter TD as it got a lead it would never relinquish. The crusher came with only seven seconds left in the first half, when deep in its territory Washington did not run out the clock, instead throwing a screen pass that Raiders LB Jack Squirek picked off at the five and trotted in for essentially a game-clinching touchdown. The Raiders' 38-9 win set then-Super Bowl records with most points scored and biggest margin of victory.
