The Oilers recovered a fumbled kickoff in the end zone and it should have been a game-winning touchdown but it was incorrectly ruled a non-fumble. I think Rozelle even admitted the officiating error. The Oilers lost in overtime.... That happened in October....then the Oilers beat Cincinnati late in ...

Walt Garrison played in the NFC Championship with a broken collarbone....and he was a rodeo star....that's gotta count for something....

Really looking forward to reading this....thanks for sharing!

I remember Phillip Epps hopping down the sidelines for several yards for the Packers against the Lions. They used the footage in the Dire Straits Walk of Life video.

So many. But here are a few that would be top priority for me. Lionel Taylor -- We all know that he was first to 100 catches in a season but not so many know he had a big impact on the careers of two HOF receivers (Swann and Stallworth), was a key part of that 70s Steelers coaching staff AND was off...
