Interesting. That 1960 Colts-49ers footage looks like it's from a kinescope. Do any hardcore collectors know if the rest of that game is out there? If so, I believe that would make it the earliest NFL telecast that survives.

At 43 seconds in Gordy Soltau says the 49ers had just (last week) defeated the Dallas Texans in Dallas... in 1960?!

I see they played the Cowboys the week before. I guess Gordy just confused his Dallas franchises.

There is a partial kinescope of a Rams-49ers game from 1955.
