Haunting to see Chuck Hughes in this game. He wore #85 for the Lions. Less than a year later, Hughes became the only NFL player to die in a game, vs the Bears. Still remembered here, Chuck.
The probability of any NFL team finishing a game with 5 points, much less winning a playoff game with that total, has to be infinitesimal. Yet another great upload, Dave! Thanks for sharing.
I was 13 when I saw this on TV. Great job bringing this memorable game back--and the Dallas Doomsday Defense was the best. Great to see a game without all the cluttered graphics. Basic. Simple. No nonsense.
The Chesterfield commercial at 23:49 was shown during the last week of cigarette advertising on American television. The ban took effect on January 2, 1971.
