What was the abbreviation for the Los Angeles teams?

Obviously football broadcasts didn't have the scorebug in the 1980's, but does anyone remember how the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Raiders were abbreviated? Was it RAM and RAI?

L.A. Raiders and L.A. Rams.
And N.Y. Giants and N.Y. Jets.

Back then they would just show the score for a game - including the one they were broadcasting - now and then during a game.

The "scorebug" would take up the bottom third or so of the screen.

See games on You Tube.
