Editing Super Bowl XV (section)

===Fourth quarter===
The Eagles finally managed to score a touchdown that counted early in the fourth quarter to cut their deficit to 24–10. Starting from their own 12-yard line, a 43-yard reception by wide receiver [[Charlie Smith (wide receiver)|Charlie Smith]] and a 19-yard catch by Parker sparked an 88-yard, 14-play drive that was capped by Jaworski's 8-yard touchdown pass to tight end [[Keith Krepfle]]. But on their ensuing drive, Oakland marched 72 yards in 12 plays, the longest a 23-yard completion from Plunkett to Chandler. The Eagles kept the Raiders out of the end zone, but Bahr kicked a 35-yard field goal, increasing Oakland's lead to 27–10 and capping off the scoring.

The Raiders' defense then dominated the rest the game, forcing two turnovers on the Eagles' last two possessions of the game to prevent any chance of a comeback. On the Eagles' next drive, Jaworski fumbled a snap and defensive end [[Willie Jones (defensive lineman, born 1957)|Willie Jones]] recovered it. Following a Raiders punt, Martin recorded a Super Bowl record third interception, and the Raiders reached the Eagles 19 to run out the clock and win the game.

[[Cliff Branch]]'s two touchdowns tied a Super Bowl record. Only [[Max McGee]] in [[Super Bowl I]] and [[John Stallworth]] in [[Super Bowl XIII]] caught two touchdowns prior to Branch. Jaworski finished the game with more completions (18) and yards (291) than Plunkett but completed just 18 of 38 attempts and was intercepted 3 times. Van Eeghen was the top rusher of the game with 75 yards. King was the top receiver with 93 yards and a touchdown off of just 2 receptions. Eagles running back [[Wilbert Montgomery]] led Philadelphia in rushing and receiving with 44 rushing yards and 6 receptions for 91 yards. The Eagles' loss came hours after former head coach [[Joe Kuharich]] had died.

After the game, the expected heated confrontation between Rozelle and Davis was actually very civil. As Rozelle presented the Lombardi Trophy to Davis, he praised Plunkett, head coach [[Tom Flores]], the players, and the entire Raiders organization for being the first wild card team to win the Super Bowl. Davis thanked Rozelle, then proceeded to also praise the team.

Oakland became only the second wild card team to make it to the Super Bowl and the first to come away victorious. The [[Super Bowl IV]] champion [[1969 Kansas City Chiefs season|Kansas City Chiefs]] are often thought of as a "wild-card team," but they were not; during 1969, the season before the 1970 [[AFL-NFL Merger]], the second-place finishers in both divisions of the [[American Football League]] qualified for the playoffs. Flores became the first person to be a member of a Super Bowl winning team as a player and head coach. He was a member of the Chiefs in Super Bowl IV but did not play in the game.

Following the March 11, 2023 death of [[Bud Grant]], this is the earliest Super Bowl where both teams' head coaches are still living.
