Noted sports writer Ron Borges has stated the case for the late Ken Stabler's consideration for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in a Talk of Fame Network article.Borges recounts one of the greatest comebacks in Raiders history, this one engineered by The Snake on Monday Night Football in 1979.
Borges writes:
New Orleans was favored by three points that night of Dec. 3, which if you know anything about football history says more about the Raiders’ slippage than the Saints’ rise. When New Orleans shot off to a 35-14 lead early in the third quarter, the assumption was the Raiders were done.
