The 1964 All-Star Game was the AFL's third annual season-ending showpiece, which featured the outstanding performers from the 1963 season. A team drawn from the Western Division defeated their Eastern counterparts by a score of 27–24, scoring 24 unanswered points after trailing 24–3 at halftime.[2] The head coaches were Sid Gillman and Mike Holovak, who had faced each other in the AFL Championship game two weeks earlier, with Gillman's Chargers beating Holovak's Patriots 51–10. The MVP of that game, Keith Lincoln, was named offensive MVP of the All-Star game after rushing for 121 yards and a touchdown. Raiders linebacker Archie Matsos intercepted a pass and won the defensive MVP award.
