NFL PLAYOFFS / NOTES : AFC PLAYOFFS

Sunday’s game established AFC playoff records for penalties by one team and for two teams combined. In both cases, the Raiders broke their own records.

Their 17 penalties Sunday were three more than the previous record set by the Oakland Raiders during a 1980 game against Houston. The record of 14 was tied a year later by San Francisco in an NFC playoff game against the New York Giants.

Together, the Raiders and Broncos had 27 penalties, easily breaking the record of 22 set in three different games--the same Raider-Oiler game, the same 49er-Giant game and a game between Houston and Cleveland in 1988.
