The Chiefs are bored with all theirs. The Eagles expect to win titles. Cowboys, SteelersThe Patriots - well screw ‘em. 
Us? Ya gotta be damn near my age to have any memories of League titles. This is our most RECENT one! 60 years ago!

 

Enjoy!

First time I watched color TV at someone's house. Had seen color TVs in the store, but my uncle, who worked at Chevy (was good $ then) had just bought one. He invited everyone over for the game. We didn't get one until 1968.

The first color TV I ever saw was at Jack Kemp’s house. I went to 3rd grade with his son Jeff. That was pretty cool! He had a toy chest full of AFL game balls, and even spent quite a few years in the NFL himself.

Elbert Dubenion didn't get a mention.  Was he injured?

 

That was a great defense, particularly on the line, but really at all levels.

yes, the announcer mentioned the Bills played without 2 of their stars, Dubenion was one of them. Played only the first 3 games of the season. Not sure if he got injured in the third game or in practice.

Yes, as was Glenn Bass. Thus the Raider trade.

Catching a Touchdown pass, broke his leg which was caught under him as he crashed into the endzone.

Thanks.  I missed that comment from the announcer, who by the way was Curt Gowdy.  Gowdy was by far the leading play by play man in NFL games in the 60s and going into the 70s.  Little known fact -- Gowdy was from Wyoming (as I found out when I went to grad school at the University of Wyoming -- before Josh was even born).  There were so few celebrities from Wyoming back then that they named a state park after Gowdy.
