``That's a crock,'' said Dan Fouts, the former Chargers quarterback who knows a crock when he sees it, having witnessed the Holy Roller in 1978, when Ken Stabler -- about to be sacked on the final play -- fumbled the ball forward to Pete Banaszak, who knocked it forward to Dave Casper, who knocked it forward into the end zone where he fell on it to give the Raiders a 21-20victory.
