[@rustykuntz94]

I was only 9 at the time but I was about to head to bed on a school night when I heard my Dad scream “ohhhhhh!!!!”. I had to come out to see what happened & it was Theismann’s Broken leg. So nasty

[@Mr.epik28]

Anyone have the full game? I am glad to find this footage but it was a great game overall and it would be nice to see from start to finish.

[@Jay_BinLaden]

This the game that Joe Theismann broke his leg

[@acornsucks2111]

dont want to watch it again.

[@joralemonvirgincreche]

Frank Gifford doing play-by-play and O.J. Simpson doing color. Good times.

[@MaximusWolfe]

People who delight in or are just into watching that kind of shit are sick and sad.

I remember being excited that Jay Schroeder was coming into the game with his strong arm. Jay did not disappoint. The Redskins suddenly were a legit threat for long completions.

[@gerrypeet4861]

When Jay wasn't overthrowing recievers or throwing interceptions but yes he had a strong arm.

33 years to the day after this took place, WFT QB Alex Smith would suffer the same horrendous fate.

[@jasons2270]

33 years to the day and on the exact same yard line

You know it’s bad if it grosses OJ out.

[@liberalmadness7248]

How do you even want to play after seeing that?

[@racecar157]

plottwist: Joe Theisman owned 30 Taco Bells (only the true ones will get that)

[@jimnoonan7124]

Lawrence Taylor introduces Theisman to a new career in broadcasting.

[@Tubewings]

Theismann had called Super Bowl XIX (on that same network) ten months earlier.

[@MaximusWolfe]

You laugh at another persons agony. Have fun on the last day, sport.

Jay who?..he just never been this good

[@MaximusWolfe]

Best performance of his career. He was never that accurate again.

[@Mr.epik28]

He was inconsistent as hell. Great athlete, strong arm, tough. But not a great leader and made some boneheaded mistakes.

[@gerrypeet4861]

This game is why he still has devoted fans to this day. He was inconsistant and apparently alienated many on the team. That's not what you want from your quarterback. That's why Doug Williams eventually replaced him. Williams was also inconsistant but a good leader and there's the difference.
