TENNESSEE OILERS news (5167 words)

Del Greco added a 32-yard field goal after the break, then on Tennessee's next possession, George took a handoff from McNair, bounced off a would-be tackler and raced 37 yards into the end zone, putting the Oilers ahead 27-7 late in the third quarter.
Houston's All-Time Team: Al Del Greco (400 words)
Del Greco is one of only four Oilers to score 100 points in a season, joining the elite company of George Blanda, Earl Campbell and Tony Zendejas.
And while he made his home in the friendly confines of the Astrodome, Del Greco was not afraid to kick in hostile territory, owning a higher success rate on the road for his career.
In a bizarre twist, Del Greco missed his potential game winner too (the 41-yarder hit the upright), and the Oilers were forced to play an extra period.
