11 ANGRY MEN, 1967 – The Raiders led the American Football League in sacks with 67. The sack total for 1967 was the most in a single season in AFL history and most in pro football history prior to the NFL going to a 16-game schedule. The 666 yards in losses on sacks recorded by the 11 Angry Men in 1967 are a pro football standard that still stands today. The Raiders posted 11 sacks in two games that year, posting that number against both the Bills in Buffalo on October 15 and versus the Broncos in Denver on November 5. The Raiders’ defense played a key role in the Silver and Black capturing the AFL title and playing in the organization’s first of five Super Bowls. Ike Lassiter, Dan Birdwell, Tom Keating and Ben Davidson were the front four for that AFL championship team that recorded a league-best 13-1-0 regular season record.
