 The Dream Season: "Week 7: Blanda Buffaloes Bills"
Rymkus' move appeared to be one of genius as Blanda's replacement, Jacky Lee, in his first game as a starter, set an AFL record with 450 passing yards.
Blanda carried the momentum into his week 7 match-up with the Buffalo Bills, at the time, the AFL's second stingiest defense.
Leading 28-16, Blanda then marched Houston down the field on their next possession, but the quarterback failed on a sneak at the one and then threw an interception in the end zone, thwarting the threat.

George Blanda, banished to head coach Lou Rymkus' early season doghouse and forced to shoulder much of the blame for his team's disappointing 1-3-1 start, was climbing out of his hole, and bringing the Oilers with him.
In the fourth quarter, Blanda took Houston on a nine-play, 84 yard drive that ended with an 11-yard scoring pass to Groman, giving Blanda a share of the pro football record (and complete autonomy over the AFL record) for most touchdown passes in a game.
Adrian Burk, who co-held the pro football record George Blanda tied with his seven touchdowns, was the Oilers' color commentator on their radio broadcasts in 1961.

 George Blanda Rotisserie Football League
Whether it maintained that Brad should maintain his role as starting QB this Sunday or that Jeff George should get the nod, the articles were all, in large, written with tendentious, fl-and-white presentations of the premises and in bombastic and acrimonious tones.
Remember that 1) Jeff George was injured for most of his tenure in Oakland when Gruden was the coach, 2) this writer obviously has an axe to grind as he is only relating one side of the story, and 3) Gruden is, in fact, Popeye's evil twin brother.
At this point, I even agreed that perhaps George should have seen action in the 2nd half of the Dallas game, but as negative as the first article was toward George, this article was toward Johnson, and, consequently, I was not convinced that George should be the starter against the Giants.
