Don Shula was a great coach but I don't think he ever beat Bum Phillips.

The night of 60+ fans arrested at the stadium, which lead to the NFL and Foxborough taking Sullivan Stadium/Foxborough Stadium off the MNF selection for 14 years. It took Mr. Kraft a lot of convincing on his end to get the NFL to give them a MNF game again in 1995.

As great as these Chargers offenses were, they also turned the ball over a lot, especially in playoff games. For example: 1979 against the Oilers, Fouts three 5 INTs 1980 against Raiders, Chargers had 3 turnovers, including 2 Fouts INTs. 1981 against Bengals, San Diego had 4 turnovers 1982 against Dolphins, Bolts had 7 turnovers, including 5 Fouts INTs. Some may argue that it was the lack of a good defense or running game that doomed the Chargers. However, they had good defenses in 1979 and 1980. They also had a good running game in 1980-1982, with Muncie rushing more than 1000 yards in 1981. I guess the old Coryell saying is true: they lived and died by the pass. Unfortunately in playoff games, when they faced better teams, they did in fact die by their strength.

Howard was right, why throw when your in position for a game tying FG

Gold blazer goofy wig and stentorian voice...these guys were Roone Alredge's stars. This is like mom apple pie and Chevrolet...everything is right in the world.

The Burgh Channel 4 WTAE!

Do I miss the old days of pro sports!

What I really enjoy about watching this older NFL games is that after players on offense & defense make a play, they just get ready for the next. Unlike today's NFL in which players jump up & down like if they have ants up their ass on every play. Old school football was the best.

30:50 perfect

This is when real men played the game of football, I don't think any of today's football players would make it back then!

I was I High School,cut school the next day.Snuck ointo some prime second deck seats,just about the 60 yard line.The only plays I remember was the Warfield catch,and the Morris run at the end of the tape

This was the first year the blackout was lifted if the game was sold out. First time I saw the Giants live at Yankee Stadium on TV

I was actually at this game. Lived around the corner from the stadium at the time. It was cold but a very entertaining game...from a Jet fan perspective.

That’s my Minnesota Vikings!💜

Best pregame show ever. "You are looking live at...!" Used to get chills down my spine every week whem Musberger would start off the show that way.

The Browns played the Jets in 1978 Browns win 37-34 in O.T 1979 Browns win 25-22 in O.T 1980 Browns win 17-14 1981 Jets win 14-13 1983 Browns win 10-7 1984 Jets win 24-20 All close games and all exciting.

Fran Tarkenton's last win at the Met.

Are we going to see anymore NFL uploads from you? MLB1 has fresh uploads. Just curious on what the status of this channel is. You have excellent content my friend.

I absolutely love that music at the beginning.

Wasn’t the Juice 32 on this team?

William Andrews caught 15 passes in this game. Still a Falcons record!

Iowa couldnt score 40+years ago either

Redskins DB's that year Lavender, Parrish Safety's, Houston, and Murphy... Still a great line up.... And a young Peters

I remember this intro vividly because that is when I was sent to bed . I was four years old and didn't get football until next year lol

Howard Cosell previewing tonight’s game with the MNF theme playing in the background is such EPIC theater!

I enjoy the commercials too

Before there was Manning vs. Brady, there was Brunner vs. Hipple

Through most of the 1970s, the Lions were right around .500. But that average won-loss performance didn't nearly reflect what happened on the field. One week they'd play like champs in the making, the next they were snakebit and hopeless.

Back when all sports were great. So were the announcers. Nfl, Nba, Nhl, Mlb, and Tennis. Yes, tennis. Admit it.

Allen Riley, if you see this, Dave Volsky has a better version of this game.

BIG SHEA was the greatest of all "two sport" Stadiums. Lots of Magic and big crowds. Passionate and noisy! A relative bargain for the time. Those were the days my friend.

Surprised Steeler offense didnt average 44points per game .

Sure miss those awesome uniforms the oilers had , one of the nicest in the league .

At this time the league was moving into its Golden Era.

I cannot believe that the Falcons have not gone back to these uniforms 😮In my opinion the current Falcons uniforms are the absolute, ugliest,no imagination,no color scheme uniforms in the league 😢🏈👎

The Tron style opening, a year before Tron came out. Love these MNF games. Regular, normal people.

Thanks for sharing this!! Great stuff!!

What energy in the opening back in those days

I was at that game as a member of the Dallas Cowboys Band. We were a horns and rhythm section that played in the stands (we were mic'd). Once Jerry Jones bought the team, he fired Tom Landry and got rid of live music at Texas Stadium.

This when monday night 🏈 was classic days

Changing of the guard. Niners 3 & out offense sucked, their punt/kick coverage was terrible. Good enough for SB that year. Spoiled by Montana - Rice years and now Purdy offense...

These old classic videos are a real treasure.

In a word, the MNF game between the same two teams a year prior was....ELECTRIC!!!! ⚡ ⚡

The commentary ,& analysis is " pedestrian " compared to today's week-long barrage of X ,& O breakdown..... yet I enjoyed it far greater than I do today.

"Steelers right now are a football masterpiece!" Well said.
