1967A - Week 7
Houston Oilers at New York Jets
At Shea Stadium Sunday, October 15, 1967
Oilers stun Jets with fourth quarter rally, 22-19.
Flushing, N.Y. - Hoyle Granger rushed for two fourth-quarter touchdowns to lead the Houston Oilers to 22-19 victory over the New York Jets at Shea Stadium. Joe Namath threw for 421 yards, and the Jets seemingly had the Oilers buried going into the fourth quarter with a 12 point lead. New York had dominated Houston all day, rolling up 312 total yards compared to a mere 33 yards for Houston at halftime. Jim Hudson's interception of Oiler QB Pete Beathard's pass with 10:29 remaining appeared to be the final nail in the Oiler coffin. But, Zeke Moore returned the Jets subsequent punt 45 yards to the Jet 17 to set up Granger's first rushing touchdown. Moore was a key component to the Houston rally, finishing with 227 return yards on kickoff and punt returns. Moore took over on punt returns after Bobby Janik was injured in the first quarter.

Houston held Namath and the Jets, and took over at their own 37 with 2:27 remaining. Granger rushed for 49 yards on the final drive, and made a key 8 yard reception on third and seven at the Jets 15 with a minute remaining. One play later, Granger swept in for the Oiler victory with thirty seconds on the clock. Pete Beathard, making his first start of the season, rolled in with a quarterback keeper for the two-point conversation that stretched the Houston lead to a field goal. Granger finished with 120 yards on 26 carries, and was also the leading receiver with four receptions for 49 yards. The victory moved Houston (3-2) ahead of New York (2-3) with a one-game lead in the Eastern Division.
