1980s NFL Films team histories

Post by Bryan »

I remember in the mid-80's NFL Films put out some different franchise history videos. I remember Legend of the Lightning Bolt (Chargers) and Years of Glory, Years of Pain (Bills), but I think there were a few others that I am not recalling. Does anyone else remember these?

There was a 49ers history called Pure Gold, and maybe a couple others, but only a handful of teams got the history treatment. A more common version of this was a VHS with four or so of the team's most memorable annual highlight films; the Vikings and Broncos got these, and the Cowboys had a series of videos that eventually comprised every one of their yearbook videos.

I’ve seen ones for the Jets and Cowboys from around that time on YouTube. Can’t remember the names off the top of my head though.
