Week 8 Minnesota Vikings at Forbes Field Pittsburgh blew leads of 14 to 0, 26 to 14, and 29 to 21. Finally with about two minutes left in the game Jim Christopherson kicked field goal of 26 yards and Vikings led for the first time 31 to 29.

There have been come rare cases where NFL teams have used different players for kickoff and place kicks.

I would like to get 1964 Pittsburgh Steelers 44 to 17 win over the New York Giants at Yankee Stadium.

The west as said won 13 of the 14 regular season games. In addition, the Packers defeated the Cleveland Browns in the NFL Title Game. In the Runnerup Bowl Baltimore defeated the Cowboys 35 to 3. But the shocker was the Eastern Conference make it look easy against the West in the Pro Bowl 36 to 7.

M.C. Reynolds had replaced Lamar McCann at quarterback and the Cardinals were on a drive. I figured Chi...

I was hoping Pittsburgh would just run out the clock. Instead Carl Brettschneider intercepted a pass ...
