Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Robert Donald Chandler (April 24, 1949 - January 28, 1995) was an American football wide receiver in the National Football League. Chandler played in the National Football League between 1971 and 1982 for the Buffalo Bills (1971-1979) and the Oakland Raiders (1980-1982). He led the NFL in receptions from 1975-1977 with 176, and was named Second-Team All-Pro in 1975 and 1977. He also caught four passes for 77 yards in the Raiders 27-10 Super Bowl XV victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in January 1981. In the first game of the 1981 season against the Denver Broncos, Chandler stretched out for a pass and took a hit so severe it ruptured his spleen. Chandler was rushed to a Denver hospital where doctors saved his life. Chandler made a miraculous recovery and returned to the field later in the season.
