Great games

He called Mike Merriweather Frank all game

The Steelers still had good defense in the 80's but their offense was pretty bad

Malone was terrible I had to grow up watching him

Those Bills uniforms of the 80's were better than today's

I was born in Pittsburgh and a life long Steelers fan who recently bought an Oilers hat and drinking glass. I miss the rivalry between them

That was a modern day roughing the passer call

18 of 40 for 175 yards

This is when teams never abandoned the run game

I watched this game with my Army roommate James Clay from.. HOUSTON TX😉

OJ with the 'killer commentary' -- and wearing a very famous pair of gloves, to boot

Oilers would have lost 27-17 instead of 27-13. The blown call was irrelevant.

Yesssssss

Crazy how interceptions used to be pass interference

Don Criqui always referred to being on your own goal line as being in jail

BS call on the Perry interception

2:20:19 "Six DBs now for the JETS". Smh

-2:16:30

btw...The 5 best MNF Games of All Time 5. Giant vs 49ers 1990 The buildup to this game began when the schedule was released. Both were 10-1 and on a collision course to knock out the other in the inevitable playoff matchup to come for Championship glory. 4. Redskins vs Colts 1978 Yes...Yes. Same year as the the classic you're watching now. Who knew that might, MNF would never return to Memorial Stadium after this game. This was about Bert Jones, showing everyone how special he was and a leader. Jones was the heart and soul of the 3 times in a row AFC East Champs, but a devastating shoulder injury suffered In the Preseason along with player movement, other injuries to key players, and a Owner who was actively shopping the team to other cities derailed what should've been another exciting season. So when the MNF crew arrived in Baltimore the season was already over, but Bert Jones wanted to prove he was a great QB. The result was great theatre. 3.Bears vs Dolphins 1985 Did anyone really, I mean REALLY believe the Bears were going to walk of the Orange Bowl field still undefeated??? 2. Redskins vs Packers 1983 Washington was 2 points from a perfect regular season. Losing to Dallas and Green Bay both on MNF, but their game against the Packers was something special. Both teams scored within their offensive philosophy. Lynn Dickey almost 500 yards passing, the Redskins running it up, but Joe Theisman was getting it in too, but in the end it was a Mark Mosley missed extra point and fg at the gun that was the difference. The 'Skins wouldn't lose again until their massacre in the Super Bowl. A Great Season, but one of missed opportunities.

The best MNF game of All Time. No doubt. Those of us who watched it as it happened (I watched with a blanket in the crack of my door. I was 10 and my little brother 8. We were supposed to be sleeping. I was like, ain't no way I'm missing this game, knowing if I got caught, my ass would would get torn up. Little brother was scared. I told him to do 2 things, man up, and shut up. If you get all ohhhy and ahhhie both our ass are gonna be burned up. By the end of the game we couldn't wait til the morning to talk about it. How GREAT it was. Im waiting on a 30 for 30 on this game. One of my childhoods most fondest memories. I didn't want it to end.

Great game. Two great teams.

Marv Albert isnt fooling anyone. That toupee is from fuve below

And the next year Dallas wins superbowl😅😅😅

The First three Draft picks in 1971 were, in order, Jim Plunkett, Archie Manning, and Dan Pastorini. The Raiders had Plunkett on the Roster, but Traded Stabler to the Oilers for Pastorini so the Raiders had the #1 and #3 picks from the 1971 draft on their roster. The Oilers traded for Manning when Stabler was let go. However, the Raiders tried to trade Stabler to New Orleans for Manning. You wonder what Manning might have done on a good Raider team that Plunkett took the Super bowl.

Merlin Olsen👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The golden era of the NFL.

First Niners-Cowboys game since 1990 with announcers not named Pat Summerall and John Madden.

Tomczak was trash…this team was good enough to win it all if they had a QB

John Riggins sat out the season and he was missed big time

I was at this game and was an Oilers fan. I will never forget how frigid cold it was. I wore a light blue Oilers Starters jacket and got pummeled with snowballs after the game walking out of the stadium!😄

A memorable game of when "Trash Talk Goes Wrong!" Prior to the game, the Falcons' star receiver Andre Rison trash talked the Oilers' receivers by saying that they were not that good. He said, "if Warren Moon had us, Houston would go to the Super Bowl." The game turned very chippy with numerous fights throughout. In that game, the Oilers imitated the Falcons who in turn imitated the Oilers. Here are the moments of imitation in that game: 28:36 - Steve Jackson intercepts Andre Rison at the goal line and celebrates by imitating Rison's duck walk. 1:29:26 - Andre Rison touchdown for Atlanta imitating the Oiler's Ernest Givins' electric slide. The Oilers won the game 33 -17 and went on to win the AFC Central Division with a 12-4 record (the best record of all time for the franchise). The Falcons lost that game and four out of five to finish with a 6-10 record, missing the playoffs altogether.

Thx for posting this! Fans of this will love my conversation w/ Luv Ya Blue TE Mike Barber on his memories + you'll hear Pastorini, Bethea & Vernon Perry describing their memories kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaTRopJ9n6xsercsi=isLM9XzxvIfROUi_

Awesome uniforms 🔥🔥

Warren Moon possessed one of the best arms the league has ever seen. He could sling it!🚀

Rich Kotite was the offensive coordinator for the Eagles in 1990 and Jeff Fisher was the defensive coordinator

This game turned out to be a lower scoring version of 2003’s Week 5 explosion - a game also called by Gus Johnson

00:27 he inherited wha??😅😅

I was today years old when I found out that Ian Howfield got cut by 856 teams prior to kicking for the Oilers. After 33 years I finally got my explanation for this game. smh

I was at the Astrodome this night. My dad took me. Houston was my team. We were so disappointed 😢

I was there at this game with my Dad and brother. My first NFL game...what a great memory! Luv Ya Blue!

the more I watch this, the more I'm appreciative how the broadcast was preserved as to my understanding, most weren't. Wonder how this one got saved?

Back in the day when a 40 yard field goal wasn't considered automatic.

OJ!!!

DAMN, i miss watching games like this with just the action and no stupid sport scores, ads, celebrity updates, etc taking up 30% of the viewable screen!

To me i liked the AFC i remember the old AFL before merging with NFC NFL

This was the first time I had to turn down the volume watching the game because of the crowd noise. The fans never sat down.

Ya oilers had one of the best uniforms in history . They also had best teams ; but as oiler fans know they were robbed .

I miss old school Football, Baseball, SNL and pro wrestling! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE all 4! My top four loves for sure! Nothing beats the 4 back in the day. Had straight up legends all over the place in all 4

There was serious distaste in the old AFC Central from 1987-1990. Remember watching this with my Step-Dad and hoping to see an upset by the Steelers.

RIP Jim Donovan 1956-2024
