George Buehler played for the
Oakland Raiders from 1969 to 1978. From 1969 to 1970, Buehler was a replacement. He became a
starter at right offensive guard for the Raiders from 1971 to 1977, but was used sparingly in 1978, replaced by
Mickey Marvin, and ending his career with the
Cleveland Browns in 1978 and 1979. He was part of a particularly strong offensive line during the 1976 season, featuring interior linemates
Dave Dalby at center and
Gene Upshaw at left guard. In the 1976 AFC championship game of the
1976–77 NFL playoffs, the Raiders beat the
Pittsburgh Steelers, rushing for 157 yards and passing for 88 yards. The Raiders then beat the
Minnesota Vikings in
Super Bowl XI, rushing for a whopping 266 yards and passing for 180 yards, as Buehler overpowered the opposing defensive tackle,
Doug Sutherland. ==Personal life==
