Didn't Unitas injure his achilles around the same age while fetching a ping-pong ball? As much as bad luck plays a role, there's also just father time.

Think about how Davis tricked Ed McGah into signing papers that handed him control of the franchise. If that never happens the franchise probably never leaves for LA or LV...and also isn't handed over to Mark Davis. Under this ownership the Raider ship is listing.

I would suggest Ed Meadow's late hit of Bobby Layne in week 12 of 1956 might fall within this category. The only known game film with the play had that exact moment spliced out. Three reasons possible as to why it was removed. 1) Lions wanted it saved as evidence of malicious intent. 2) Bears wanted...
