The East dominated the opening half, scoring on four out of six possessions. West starting quarterback Tobin Rote struggled with accuracy and was intercepted twice. A pair of Chargers, Keith Lincoln and Paul Lowe scored rushing touchdowns in the 3rd quarter to get the West back into the game. It was 24–20 with barely a minute to play when Lance Alworth returned a punt to the East 43. Four plays later, backup quarterback Cotton Davidson passed to Raiders teammate Art Powell for the winning touchdown, with Powell making a tumbling catch in the end zone.[2]
