Former Raider, Oiler and Saint quarterback Ken Stabler died today of colon cancer at the young age of 69.

If Ken Stabler had the ball with two minutes left in the game and you were rooting for the Raiders’ opponent, you were in trouble and you knew it. He was a superb passer and leader.

Here’s one of his most famous plays.

The NFL changed the rules after that game to say that the only man who can advance the ball after a fumble is the guy who dropped it in the first place. Had that rule been in place, only Stabler could have moved the ball. Neither Banaszak’s nor Casper’s actions would have been legal.
