I would take your bet, but instead of taking your money, I will again stress CHAMPIONSHIP Games, not just playoff games. Go do your homework. You will find that not all three games were CHAMPIONSHIP games, one removed from the Super Bowl. When the Raiders lost to the Steelers, it was a normal playoff game, where the Steelers then played Miami, and Miami won because of that daring fake punt. Remember? We can go on all day on this, dude. The point is CHAMPIONSHIP games.

Sheesh. Will you even bother to check your facts before posting? Raiders lost 3 (THREE) straight AFC CHAMPIONSHIP games (yes, the game before the Super Bowl) in 1973 - 1975.

AFC Championship Game: lost 10 - 16 at Pittsburgh Steelers

I don't know why you keep thinking that I'm referring to the 1972 immaculate reception loss to the Steelers. I'm not. It was the NEXT year that the Raiders started their string of 5 straight AFC championship game appearances, losing 4. Stabler was the QB in all of them.

As far as Miami's fake punt, I vaguely remember watching the game, but the only thing I remember about it was the kickoff return for a TD Miami had to open the game. I think I was 5 or 6, so forgive me for not remembering the fake punt.

Correction: the Miami KO return for a TD was the Miami win over Oakland, not the Steelers. I misread the original post, and no, I don't remember the Miami/Steelers AFC championship game.
