In 1963, Buffalo Bills Cookie Gilchrist scored one of an AFL-record five touchdowns, part of a pro football-record rushing day of 243 yards, in a 45-14 victory over the New York Jets.
In the 1968 AFC Championship Game, Joe Namath shrugged off a dislocated finger, jammed thumb, and sore knees to pass for 266 yards and three touchdowns. His six-yard, fourth-quarter scoring pass to Don Maynard clinched the victory against the Oakland Raiders.
