The Chiefs had a 17-1 lead in the fourth quarter, and it seemed like they were ready to run out the clock. Chiefs’ quarterback, Len Dawson rolled right and got enough yardage for a first down. As he fell to the ground, Raiders defensive end, Ben Davidson dove right into Dawson with his helmet. In retaliation, Davidson was attacked by Chiefs wide receiver Otis Taylor. Soon a bench-clearing brawl ensued. Both Davidson and Tyler were ejected.

The Warpaint Parade –Warpaint, Chiefs mascot, was paraded around the field after every touchdown in the 1975 season, as the Chiefs beat the Raiders, 42-10. This prompted the Raiders’ coach, John Madden to make a bitter comment after losing the game.

We couldn’t beat the Chiefs, but we damn near killed their horse.
