Gene Upshaw out in front of a Raider running back. He did so for 15 years.
Nice picture of that great Raiders Offensive Line of the late 1970s as they form a pocket for QB Kenny Stabler against an on-coming Chargers rush. From top to bottom - Henry Lawrence (#70), Mickey Marvin (#65), Dave Dalby (#50) and Hall of Famers Gene Upshaw (#63) & Art Shell (#78). Tight End Dave Casper (#87) & Kenny Stabler (#12) are also seen.
Kenny Stabler is mobbed in the endzone following his game-winning 1-yard dive against the New England Patriots in the Divisional Round of the 1976 AFC Playoffs. The Raiders drive was extended when just a few plays earlier the Patriots defense was flagged for a controversial Roughing the Passer call on third and long incomplete pass play that gave the Raiders a first down.

Just a nice pic of Raiders legend George Blanda. #63 on the ground is Hall of Famer Gene Upshaw.
George Blanda of the Raiders puts one through against Kansas City in 1970. Blanda had a total of 16 field goals - a few of which came late in the game to give the Raiders wins or ties. The Raiders line up-front looks like Art Shell, Bob Svihus and Gene Upshaw while the Chiefs Buck Buchanan is at far right.
