Strange how when you hear names from over 40 years ago in football. They are easily recognizable. But you can not recognize the names of over half the players in todays game.
Funny how you watch a game in 1970 then one from 1980 and you see a huge difference in both level of play and show production… or compare 1980 to 1990 or compare 1960 to 1970. In ten years you can see the game progress or you can see the network production progress… then compare a game today with the game in 2013. Not much difference. It’s not just football. Everything has been stagnating
@@johnliberty3647 Well, it's the progression of technology, but the last 10 years have been focused more on streaming capabilities rather that quality and production.
In my mind Dawson and Unitas were great QB's with Unitas possibly being ranked in the top 5 of all time, they didn't have the advantages of today's QB's ( radio helmets, technology up the wazoo!! ). When Unitas played if he got knocked down or roughed up in the pocket there was no roughing the passer penalty like today, you almost had to kill the QB to get a penalty. I will always hold QB's from that era in high regard.
No one knowledgeable about football could possibly make an all time QBS without putting Unitas at or near the top and Dawson belongs in the conversation as well

Wow. Great piece of history. Current champion vs future champion. Hard to believe this classy broadcast spawned the unbearable, watered down, over-hyped, mess we have to struggle through now. So many Hall of Famers playing in this game I can't see straight.
Len Dawson was great in his own right. He was the definition of a Kansas City Chief, not just for what he did on the fields for the AFL and for the NFL, but for his work covering the chiefs for channel 9 news while he played and long after he played.

That’s an awesome memory. My first game was in Miami November 23, 1988. Dolphins/Jets . Mark Gastinau had just retired the week before. Marino throws for 523 yards but throws 5 INTs , Erik McMillan runs 2 INTs for TDS in a 44-30 Jets win

@@mm-gl7sz Every football fan already knows they're the Indianapolis Colts. Statistically, Peyton Manning has the numbers but Johnny Unitas played in a totally different era, 12 game seasons, MUCH different rules, defenses could tee-off on the QB and NOT get flagged for 15 yards if they so much as breathed on the QB in Unitas's day, Manning was fortunate to play in this era of, " Defensive players can do anything they want to do to the QB, EXCEPT touch them ". Both of them are legendary and no doubt Hall Of Famers. Manning was also very fortunate to just live in these much more modern times of advances in medicine and the treatment of injuries. Unitas played in the era of whatever your injury was, the coach would say, " Walk it off ".
Fun fact: in 1927 the NFL originally had the goal posts placed behind the end zone line then in 1933 was placed on the goal line But when they eventually realized that the goal posts was interfering with plays and players frequently running into them the NFL decided in 1974 to move the goalposts back behind the end zone line where they remained ever since
That had to do with the extra tiebreak regular season game at the end of the 1932 season between the Chicago Bears and the Portsmouth Spartans(Detroit now) as both clubs had the same records percentage-wise for NFL best record when ties were not counted. There was no such animal as an NFL "playoff game" back then, but that game created the impetus to introduce a split into divisions the next year, and a championship game between reg. season divisional winners in the East and West. It also created hashmarks because the game had to be moved indoors due to snowy blizzard-like conditions outside in Chicago, moved to the old Chicago Stadium hockey arena. The smaller 80 yard field with no space between the stands and the sideline stripes, forced the hashes creation of ten yards from the boundary markings on each side for every yardline on the field. That way the snap would not come dangerously so, right next to the stands. Colleges eventually adopted that, too. Secondly, since the endzones' endlines were right up against the back walls on each end of Chicago Stadium, for players safety sake they moved the goalpost from the original 19th century college and pro spot and the APFA/NFL 1920 spot on the endline, up to the goalline, so the ball on the extra point kick in the '32 game would not hit the backwall and carom back hard toward the unsuspecting, vulnerable players who had their eyes turned elsewhere as they ran off the field. Again in '33-34 the posts moved up for every NFL game. Finally, the last bit of news concerned a controversy in the game centered around the clinching play at the end of the 9-0 Bears winning contest when a forward pass was thrown for a TD. The rule then stated forward passes had to be thrown at least five yards behind the scrimmage line, but the losers, the Spartans, I believe, claimed the pass was thrown three yards behind the line and should not have counted, forcing the rule change in 1933 to state a forward pass could be thrown anywhere behind the line. That was the game that truly changed the NFL..maybe more than any game in its history. The posts were returned after the 1973-74 season because of the uproar tied to the late attempt to rally by Washington in SUPER BOWL VII in 1973 vs. MIAMI. BILLY KILMER THE WASH. QB on third down in the redzone hit the goalpost with a pass toward a wide open receiver, I believe it was tight end Jerry Smith, and cost the Redskins a tying TD at the end of the game because on fourth down, SBOWL MVP Manny Fernandez sacked Kilmer to cement the perfect season for '72-73. They changed the posts after the '73-74 season before the 1974-75 campaign... when for the third or fourth time, they changed the hashmarks. Each time they moved the hashes, they pushed them closer to the middle of the field from 10 yards to 15 and then in '74 to over 21 yards from the sidelines, closer together than the colleges. That year in '74-75 there were more 1,000 yard NFL runners(14-game season) than had happened anytime before that campaign. Yep..
I was 15 when this rule change was made. Make no mistake. The real reason for moving the goal posts to the end line was the glut of field goals that had come to decide games. Safety was secondary to the management of the NFL, much as now.
They moved the goal posts back because 50+ yard FGs were becoming too common, mainly due to the relatively new batch of soccer style kickers like Stenerud and Yepremian. On a 57 yard FG teams didn't even have to cross the 50. Back then a missed FG was treated exactly the same as a punt, so why not take the chance? On Tom Dempsey's 63 yarder in 1970 the holder placed the ball down on their own 37 yard line. Their own 37! That was just crazy.
@@ronflatter1235 That's right. It became too easy to score "easy" points off short drives. The old timers who ran the league didn't like it. Like you said, they never did ever care about the players.
I was the reigning world champion of Skittle Pool that year. I beat the former title holder, I.P. Daily by a stroke. I was later defeated by Buckminster Fuller after 5 consecutive titles.
1:06:49 “The pension strike” to which Cosell referred was a lockout and work stoppage in the summer of 1970 that resulted in new minimum salaries for players as well as medical and pension improvements.
1:11 it’s funny that you had back then the notion of the difference between the Super Bowl winner, and what they said was the “three time champions of the NFL. The first three Super Bowls were really champion versus champion good that the Monday night football in their broadcast acknowledged it. #AFL #NFL
Actually it was the first 4 Super Bowls that were champion vs champion. Super Bowl 5 (this season shown here) was the first under the newly merged leagues
@@JohnSmith-kz8yo They just had a big thing about that because the first MNF game this year was Jets-Browns, just about 49 years after that first ever Monday Night game.
it was--the Jets played the Browns at the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium. The NFL essentially awarded the honor of this game to Cleveland. Browns owner at that time Art Modell had been the one pushing to create Monday Night Football which the NFL wasn't exactly enthusiastic about when it was proposed
@@jimegan6783, regular season's second..yep. Friday NITER Steelers v. Giants preseason game was the first ever post-merger ABC NATIONAL LEAGUE game before the regular season MNF opener= JETS AT BROWNS. The next season they had the CHIEFS AND JETS IN PRESEASON..
Aaron Brown had a great game and Johnny Robinson also. Watching this game at the time, I thought as a Colt fan,had a sinking feeling about this team ,but we know what happened after.
Those intros to MNF were great. Monday night at 9:00 pm, (Eastern Time) must see TV. Got to stay up after bedtime to watch most of the first half back then.
I was only 3 when this game was aired so I wasn't able to see it live or maybe it was on? Again I was three. But I became a fan of Monday Night Football by 1974-75 when I hit 7-8 years old. Looking back at these classic games I see how why I LOVED it so much! I used to beg, plead, and even cry to be allowed to stay up for the Half-Time Highlights. They were so incredible in the mid to late 70's that they were a favorite part of the show for me as a kid. I loved all the helmets, I collected the $0.²⁵cent plastic helmets out of the quarter machines at the entrance to the grocery stores, or retailers. Back then we didn't get to see any games we wanted to. There was no NFL Network. We had 3 Networks....ABC, CBS, and NBC. Also PBS and a couple non-affiliated networks or "locally" run broadcasting networks, but that's it. So the Half-Time Highlights were my only way to see the Buccaneers, Seahawks, Chargers, Chiefs, Bills, etc. The Buccaneers and Seahawks had just began their journey in the NFL. But living in Milwaukee we hardly ever got to see them play. They usually played the same time as Green Bay's game. The Seahawks usually played the late game but we also rarely saw them although they were on more than the Buccaneers were. But overall looking back at Monday Night Football back then compared to now? LMFAO! There is absolutely NO COMPARISON WITH THEM! The 70's MNF gets 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🌟stars🌟 while the 2020-2022 gets ⅛ ⭐, this🔸️instead of ⭐this. The new Monday Night Football is a pathetically inept attempt at broadcasting football! ESPN should have stuck to ACTUALLY reporting true sports news, not TABLOID GARBAGE! Back when Dan Patrick and his bud Keith Olbermann were the anchors of SportsCenter it was actually good. They showed Highlights of every game. Some drama but mostly focused on the Sports and not the 💩poo!💩 The ORIGINAL Monday Night Football was absolutely 💯 % pure football! Great play by play announcers, a great color man, and the stats showed were the vital players yearly stats, or previous game's stats. It seems as though there is more crap on the screen! It's tough to actually see the game. Many people "hated" Howard Cosell. I remember one game they showed, the MNF team showed a poster/picture of a baby laying on his belly on a blanket, but Howard Cosell's head was the baby's head. Gifford got a laugh. They had great banter, but it was Football first and foremost and Cosell? While you might hate him, he knew his stuff! Plus he had a great reputation with the players so he was able to get some iconic interviews! Everything about the Monday Night Football presentation from the 70's was spot on perfection! I miss the 70's as well! We had better movies, better music, and the sports were really fun to watch and experience. ⚾️🧢Baseball🧢⚾️ had some of the best players. Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, Gaylord Perry, Steve Carlton, Steve Garvey, Carl Yaztremski, Fred Lynn, Robin Yount, George Brett, Carlton Fisk, Jim Rice, Dave Kingman, and at the tail end of his career, 🔨 Hammering🔨 Hank/Henry Aaron! Many of them have left us. RIP🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊RIP to all who have passed on in all of the sports. They will never be forgotten! God Bless them, their families, all of the fans, and all of us watching, playing, or just hoping this mess gets better! 🙏 Take care and again God Bless!
Louisville has become a " football " school now that it's basketball program has tanked. But it's real football strength over the years has been it's QBs, Unitas to Jackson. Unitas started this season looking his age, but had one of his better years. 1970 was a very interesting year with the Colts moving into the AFL with the merger and the different league styles that previously were not matched up during the regular season. The ads are great too. From Marlboros, to spark plugs, and I had forgotten about skittle pool. What if it had become as big as pickle ball? Thanks for posting. Was at Georgetown University from 1970 to 1974. We used to drive up to Baltimore for Oriole baseball games, but you could not get a ticket to the Colts.
These Monday night games were each an event. Everyone (sports fans) watched them and talked about them. And ah, the romance of smoking ads by Marlboro.
The astute and articulate Lenny Dawson would later become one of the few NFL players to occupy the broadcast booth possessing consummate professionalism.
jeffersonianideal Yes indeed. My son became a Chiefs fan two years ago, and I bought him a Framed Lenny Dawson pic for his bedroom and told him what a great QB he was. ( Eagles fan)
Len Dawson - 9-12 for 152 yards, 4 td's and 1 int. Johnny U - 5-15 for 58 yards 2 int's Earl Morrall - 17-36 243 yards 3 td's and 3 int's. Warren McVea was the leading rusher for KC with 56 yards on 16 carries. Mike Garrett only had 4 carries for 18 yards.
Thanks for sharing. Great players from the past came to life once again. Truly enjoyed MNF with Dandy Don, Keith, and even Howard. It is a shame all those broadcasts are not available.
When I was a kid, I think if my dad could have married Johnny Untias, he would have. He still talks about the 1958 Championship Game. We had relatives in Baltimore, I never went to a football game, but maybe 12 Orioles games at Memorial Stadium. My brother in law remembers seeing Don Shula on the sidelines at Memorial when he was the coach of the Colts.
My dad loved Johnny U. too😅 And Brooks Robinson. ... he grew up in Baltimore. ... When the Colts beat Dallas in the last second of the Super Bowl, I remember my dad jumped so high he hit his head on ceiling😅.. sadly dad passed away last year
@@bonanzatime That's so sad about your father. My dad is in his 80's but he's still going. He had the Orioles on one channel and the Ravens on the other last night. His mother, (my grandma) was a super Orioles fan also. When they played the Pirates in the 1971 World Series, dad's brother, my uncle, kept going down to her house telling her the Pirates were going to come back and win just to "mess with" her. My uncle told me years later after she died, after the Pirates won that series, she didn't talk to him for 2 years.
@@bonanzatime I think the most disappointing thing for me was in when the Colts lost Super Bowl III to the Jets. I spent most of that game hiding under my bed, I was just a kid. It didn't help. I still see that Joe Namath on TV all the time.
@@clintonearlwalker I was too young to remember that one. Glad I didn't see it😅... Yeah, Good Ole Broadway Joe. .... years ago I worked with a guy who went to that SB, he never made it to the stadium and missed the whole game because he got too drunk😂
Unitas was so classy. You can see Unitas still had the confidence ha always had. That night the Colts showed absolutely no sign that they would hold the Lombardi Trophy at years end. The Chiefs put a serious ass whippin' on the Colts.
They were wonderful weren't they? I was born in 67. So I was a 70's kid and I loved it! Everything was better! I even love watching the commercials that aired during that game! While I don't remember watching this, since I was only 3 at the time, I do remember the mid 70's MNF and the iconic show that it was. These are precious memories! Your comment was spot on perfection! Take care!
50 years ago tonight on September 28, 1970. Ironically, the Chiefs are playing the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore tonight. A historical fast forward 50 years later Sept 28,2020.
I attended the Pro Playoff Bowl in January 1967. The Program included an article on Johnny Unitas which quoted him “I feel I can play five more years.” ( I attended the Game the year before with both Unitas and Cuozzo injured for the season and Tom Matte at QB.)
Wow! So many legendary players on both teams! That Chiefs team was really loaded with Hall of Famers and should have won more than one Super Bowl because no team was more talented at that time IMO. Baltimore ultimately won the Super Bowl that season, but I didn't think they were better than the Chiefs even though they had their share of future Hall of Famers. The Chiefs really dominated the Colts in this game and made Unitas look well past his prime.
That was a HUGE game. It marked the passing of the great Johnny Vaught, after 20 yrs at Miss, and Miss' football fortunes went downhill after that. In other words, Miss wasn't good in 1970 just because of Archie. Vaught won several conference titles against Bryant and even held his own with General Bob Neyland during their brief yrs of overlap.
Archie Manning who's son Peyton played and won a Super Bowl with the Colts and then won another in Denver, and his other son Eli who won two Super Bowls over the Cheatriots
would like to see more 1970-72 games in general. with the rule change about the hashes and ball placement really changed the game from that point forward in a drastic way because defenses didn't get the sideline as a defender or awkward angles for FG attempts. love defensive football and those advantages to the defense in that way are really interesting to me.
Hall of fame members. Baltimore Colts: Johnny Unitas, Ted Hendricks, John Mackey. Kansas City Chiefs: Len Dawson, Emmett Thomas, Johnny Robinson, Jan Stenerud, Curly Culp, Willie Lanier, Bobby Bell, Buck Buchanan, Lamar Hunt, Hank Stram.
So much better back then... the games move along, we see more commercials by the end of the 1st Q today than all game back then.... passing was not as plentiful but the running games were king... golden years of the NFL.
3:07 Cosell used to ask some doozies... like Unitas was going to declare he had no long balls left in the tank - and just before a game to boot. Next question was good though, sort of predicting mobile QB's that now dominate.
Despite this dominating win by the Chiefs over the Colts in Baltimore, the Colts wound up winning the Super Bowl over the Cowboys and the Chiefs failed to make the playoffs with a pedestrian 7-5-2 record.
@THE ORIGINAL PROFESSOR CHAOS I agree, and had it not been for the Ben Davidson late hit, KC would have won the Western Division in 1970. th-cam.com/video/f6EF9bBmOKU/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo
Wow! I haven't seen it all yet, but what a hard fought game at a classic old ballpark. All the legends are there. Who'd be a better test for the Colts than the reigning world champions - Kansas City, whose defense mainly gave Norm Bulaich no quarter - all over him. Saw Colts' center, Bill Curry, early in the game, fire out on Chiefs' tackle, Curly Culp, driving him backwards six yards. Amazing quickness he had. Gloster Richardson uses pure speed to outrun both Baltimore defensive backs, into a seam and - boom - touchdown. Colts tight end, John Mackey has a wire "birdcage" facemask. I had never known him to sport one, now increasing in popularity for running backs, DB's and receivers, by this time.
Mryrhodesian -The Chiefs also led the league in interceptions a bunch of times in the late 60s/early 70s. The Colts also were a defensive juggernaut between 1967 and 71. Both teams were only able to get one ring because in both cases, the offense regressed especially in KC after their 1969 SB winning season. The Vikings also regressed offensively after letting Joe Kapp go in 1970. In 1970 and 71, the Vikings allowed 26 offensive TDS in 28 games but the offense was putrid. Alan Page was MVP in 1971
THANK YOU VIRGIL. THAT WAS MY TEAM STILL IS THE OLD COLTS I WELLED A FEW TIMES. VIRGIL I LIVE IN N.J. STARTED OUT IN PHILA, SO I ADOPTED TH EAGLES. I REMEMBER THIS GAME LIKE IT WAS TONIGHT, VIRGIL LET'S STAY IN TOUCH, REGARDS, BOB.
This is a good( in color) look at what Johnny U looked like in his Colts uniform/ High tops from the 1960’s I’m assuming the Colts uniforms/ helmets didn’t Change much moving from the 60’s to early 70’s Pretty cool....
@@jackmessick2869 the colts unis haven't really changed over the years except for the names on the jerseys. Their facemasks went from grey to white to blue then back to grey though

That had to do with the extra tiebreak regular season game at the end of the 1932 season between the Chicago Bears and the Portsmouth Spartans(Detroit now) as both clubs had the same records percentage-wise for NFL best record when ties were not counted. There was no such animal as an NFL "playoff game" back then, but that game created the impetus to introduce a split into divisions the next year, and a championship game between reg. season divisional winners in the East and West. It also created hashmarks because the game had to be moved indoors due to snowy blizzard-like conditions outside in Chicago, moved to the old Chicago Stadium hockey arena. The smaller 80 yard field with no space between the stands and the sideline stripes, forced the hashes creation of ten yards from the boundary markings on each side for every yardline on the field. That way the snap would not come dangerously so, right next to the stands. Colleges eventually adopted that, too. Secondly, since the endzones' endlines were right up against the back walls on each end of Chicago Stadium, for players safety sake they moved the goalpost from the original 19th century college and pro spot and the APFA/NFL 1920 spot on the endline, up to the goalline, so the ball on the extra point kick in the '32 game would not hit the backwall and carom back hard toward the unsuspecting, vulnerable players who had their eyes turned elsewhere as they ran off the field. Again in '33-34 the posts moved up for every NFL game.
Finally, the last bit of news concerned a controversy in the game centered around the clinching play at the end of the 9-0 Bears winning contest when a forward pass was thrown for a TD. The rule then stated forward passes had to be thrown at least five yards behind the scrimmage line, but the losers, the Spartans, I believe, claimed the pass was thrown three yards behind the line and should not have counted, forcing the rule change in 1933 to state a forward pass could be thrown anywhere behind the line.
That was the game that truly changed the NFL..maybe more than any game in its history.
The posts were returned after the 1973-74 season because of the uproar tied to the late attempt to rally by Washington in SUPER BOWL VII in 1973 vs. MIAMI. BILLY KILMER THE WASH. QB on third down in the redzone hit the goalpost with a pass toward a wide open receiver, I believe it was tight end Jerry Smith, and cost the Redskins a tying TD at the end of the game because on fourth down, SBOWL MVP Manny Fernandez sacked Kilmer to cement the perfect season for '72-73.
They changed the posts after the '73-74 season before the 1974-75 campaign...
when for the third or fourth time, they changed the hashmarks. Each time they moved the hashes, they pushed them closer to the middle of the field from 10 yards to 15 and then in '74 to over 21 yards from the sidelines, closer together than the colleges. That year in '74-75 there were more 1,000 yard NFL runners(14-game season) than had happened anytime before that campaign.
Yep..
I was 15 when this rule change was made. Make no mistake. The real reason for moving the goal posts to the end line was the glut of field goals that had come to decide games. Safety was secondary to the management of the NFL, much as now.
They moved the goal posts back because 50+ yard FGs were becoming too common, mainly due to the relatively new batch of soccer style kickers like Stenerud and Yepremian. On a 57 yard FG teams didn't even have to cross the 50. Back then a missed FG was treated exactly the same as a punt, so why not take the chance? On Tom Dempsey's 63 yarder in 1970 the holder placed the ball down on their own 37 yard line. Their own 37! That was just crazy.
@@ronflatter1235 That's right. It became too easy to score "easy" points off short drives. The old timers who ran the league didn't like it. Like you said, they never did ever care about the players.
Always loved that Don Adams Skittle Pool commercial at 23:00. And you know what? It was a lot of fun.
Notice that Seinfeld's "uncle" played one of the gangsters...
I was the reigning world champion of Skittle Pool that year. I beat the former title holder, I.P. Daily by a stroke. I was later defeated by Buckminster Fuller after 5 consecutive titles.
Second Monday Night Football game ever
1:06:49 “The pension strike” to which Cosell referred was a lockout and work stoppage in the summer of 1970 that resulted in new minimum salaries for players as well as medical and pension improvements.
Yes, minimum wage went all the way to $20k.
1:11 it’s funny that you had back then the notion of the difference between the Super Bowl winner, and what they said was the “three time champions of the NFL. The first three Super Bowls were really champion versus champion good that the Monday night football in their broadcast acknowledged it. #AFL #NFL
Actually it was the first 4 Super Bowls that were champion vs champion. Super Bowl 5 (this season shown here) was the first under the newly merged leagues
I am pretty sure this was the second Monday Night Football game ever played.
Could have been. I remember the first game was the Jets and the Browns.
@@JohnSmith-kz8yo They just had a big thing about that because the first MNF game this year was Jets-Browns, just about 49 years after that first ever Monday Night game.
It was the second.
it was--the Jets played the Browns at the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium. The NFL essentially awarded the honor of this game to Cleveland. Browns owner at that time Art Modell had been the one pushing to create Monday Night Football which the NFL wasn't exactly enthusiastic about when it was proposed
@@jimegan6783, regular season's second..yep.
Friday NITER Steelers v. Giants preseason game was the first ever post-merger ABC NATIONAL LEAGUE game before the regular season MNF opener= JETS AT BROWNS.
The next season they had the CHIEFS AND JETS IN PRESEASON..
Aaron Brown had a great game and Johnny Robinson also. Watching this game at the time, I thought as a Colt fan,had a sinking feeling about this team ,but we know what happened after.
Toss ball to ref
How refreshing
I remember those pre Monday night commercials. Man I was a kid but my dad always watched. Those were the days.
That's Robert Middleton (the voice in "Duck And Cover") as Minnesota Skinny in the commercial with Don Adams for Skittle Pool.
Those intros to MNF were great. Monday night at 9:00 pm, (Eastern Time) must see TV. Got to stay up after bedtime to watch most of the first half back then.
I was only 3 when this game was aired so I wasn't able to see it live or maybe it was on? Again I was three. But I became a fan of Monday Night Football by 1974-75 when I hit 7-8 years old. Looking back at these classic games I see how why I LOVED it so much! I used to beg, plead, and even cry to be allowed to stay up for the Half-Time Highlights. They were so incredible in the mid to late 70's that they were a favorite part of the show for me as a kid. I loved all the helmets, I collected the $0.²⁵cent plastic helmets out of the quarter machines at the entrance to the grocery stores, or retailers. Back then we didn't get to see any games we wanted to. There was no NFL Network. We had 3 Networks....ABC, CBS, and NBC. Also PBS and a couple non-affiliated networks or "locally" run broadcasting networks, but that's it. So the Half-Time Highlights were my only way to see the Buccaneers, Seahawks, Chargers, Chiefs, Bills, etc. The Buccaneers and Seahawks had just began their journey in the NFL. But living in Milwaukee we hardly ever got to see them play. They usually played the same time as Green Bay's game. The Seahawks usually played the late game but we also rarely saw them although they were on more than the Buccaneers were. But overall looking back at Monday Night Football back then compared to now? LMFAO! There is absolutely NO COMPARISON WITH THEM! The 70's MNF gets 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🌟stars🌟 while the 2020-2022 gets ⅛ ⭐, this🔸️instead of ⭐this. The new Monday Night Football is a pathetically inept attempt at broadcasting football! ESPN should have stuck to ACTUALLY reporting true sports news, not TABLOID GARBAGE! Back when Dan Patrick and his bud Keith Olbermann were the anchors of SportsCenter it was actually good. They showed Highlights of every game. Some drama but mostly focused on the Sports and not the 💩poo!💩 The ORIGINAL Monday Night Football was absolutely 💯 % pure football! Great play by play announcers, a great color man, and the stats showed were the vital players yearly stats, or previous game's stats. It seems as though there is more crap on the screen! It's tough to actually see the game. Many people "hated" Howard Cosell. I remember one game they showed, the MNF team showed a poster/picture of a baby laying on his belly on a blanket, but Howard Cosell's head was the baby's head. Gifford got a laugh. They had great banter, but it was Football first and foremost and Cosell? While you might hate him, he knew his stuff! Plus he had a great reputation with the players so he was able to get some iconic interviews! Everything about the Monday Night Football presentation from the 70's was spot on perfection! I miss the 70's as well! We had better movies, better music, and the sports were really fun to watch and experience. ⚾️🧢Baseball🧢⚾️ had some of the best players. Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, Gaylord Perry, Steve Carlton, Steve Garvey, Carl Yaztremski, Fred Lynn, Robin Yount, George Brett, Carlton Fisk, Jim Rice, Dave Kingman, and at the tail end of his career, 🔨 Hammering🔨 Hank/Henry Aaron! Many of them have left us. RIP🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊RIP to all who have passed on in all of the sports. They will never be forgotten! God Bless them, their families, all of the fans, and all of us watching, playing, or just hoping this mess gets better! 🙏 Take care and again God Bless!
Louisville has become a " football " school now that it's basketball program has tanked. But it's real football strength over the years has been it's QBs, Unitas to Jackson. Unitas started this season looking his age, but had one of his better years. 1970 was a very interesting year with the Colts moving into the AFL with the merger and the different league styles that previously were not matched up during the regular season. The ads are great too. From Marlboros, to spark plugs, and I had forgotten about skittle pool. What if it had become as big as pickle ball? Thanks for posting. Was at Georgetown University from 1970 to 1974. We used to drive up to Baltimore for Oriole baseball games, but you could not get a ticket to the Colts.
These Monday night games were each an event. Everyone (sports fans) watched them and talked about them. And ah, the romance of smoking ads by Marlboro.
"Quality"? That's pretty much the best you could get with old TV antennas.
how i remember these guys i was sixteen and a big fan back then
The astute and articulate Lenny Dawson would later become one of the few NFL players to occupy the broadcast booth possessing consummate professionalism.
"Lenny the Cool" smooth as a mile of silk.
jeffersonianideal Yes indeed. My son became a Chiefs fan two years ago, and I bought him a Framed Lenny Dawson pic for his bedroom and told him what a great QB he was. ( Eagles fan)
How about the cigarette commercials? ...”Come to where the flavor is”. And no one kneeling during the National Anthem.
Memorial stadium with the baseball infield. KC had a scary underrated defense.
Hank Strambò was a great coach. Not sure why he was fired a few years later.
Len Dawson - 9-12 for 152 yards, 4 td's and 1 int. Johnny U - 5-15 for 58 yards 2 int's Earl Morrall - 17-36 243 yards 3 td's and 3 int's. Warren McVea was the leading rusher for KC with 56 yards on 16 carries. Mike Garrett only had 4 carries for 18 yards.
Len Dawson was super efficient in this game😃
That Chief defence, especially the secondary, is suffocating. This against the Colts team that went on to win the Super Bowl that year.
Arron Brown was tremendous pass rusher and linemen.
I have a Sports illustrated NFL game Paydirt. It has all the team charts for the 1970 season..Currently playing the entire 1970 season
I did the same with APBA football 1970 season years ago
Love Paydirt!
Thanks for sharing. Great players from the past came to life once again. Truly enjoyed MNF with Dandy Don, Keith, and even Howard. It is a shame all those broadcasts are not available.
Ah the good ole days revisited.
When I was a kid, I think if my dad could have married Johnny Untias, he would have. He still talks about the 1958 Championship Game. We had relatives in Baltimore, I never went to a football game, but maybe 12 Orioles games at Memorial Stadium. My brother in law remembers seeing Don Shula on the sidelines at Memorial when he was the coach of the Colts.
My dad loved Johnny U. too😅 And Brooks Robinson. ... he grew up in Baltimore. ... When the Colts beat Dallas in the last second of the Super Bowl, I remember my dad jumped so high he hit his head on ceiling😅.. sadly dad passed away last year
@@bonanzatime That's so sad about your father. My dad is in his 80's but he's still going. He had the Orioles on one channel and the Ravens on the other last night. His mother, (my grandma) was a super Orioles fan also. When they played the Pirates in the 1971 World Series, dad's brother, my uncle, kept going down to her house telling her the Pirates were going to come back and win just to "mess with" her. My uncle told me years later after she died, after the Pirates won that series, she didn't talk to him for 2 years.
@@clintonearlwalker Good story!😃 I remember that World Series too. Very disappointing...
@@bonanzatime I think the most disappointing thing for me was in when the Colts lost Super Bowl III to the Jets. I spent most of that game hiding under my bed, I was just a kid. It didn't help. I still see that Joe Namath on TV all the time.
@@clintonearlwalker I was too young to remember that one. Glad I didn't see it😅... Yeah, Good Ole Broadway Joe. .... years ago I worked with a guy who went to that SB, he never made it to the stadium and missed the whole game because he got too drunk😂
I love those one-bar facemasks! Such a clean look.
After the player was gouged in the eyes with a one-bar, he could no longer take a look of any kind.
50 years ago. So much has changed yet a lot of things haven't.
Cosmoevents21st yes the league still finds ways to cheat 😂
And the Chiefs are finally back in the Super Bowl..
Damn, now I want to test drive a new 1971 Ford and buy some Marlboro cigarrettes!!
God bless Lenny Dawson. RIP
The play that I remember from this game was when LB Bobby Bell sacked Unitas. Bell was lightning quick and Cosell raved about him.
Please post more of those old Kansas City Games
I wish I had more. Super Bowl 3 is on youtube. That Chiefs defense was scary good.
Unitas was so classy. You can see Unitas still had the confidence ha always had. That night the Colts showed absolutely no sign that they would hold the Lombardi Trophy at years end. The Chiefs put a serious ass whippin' on the Colts.
I liked when the Chiefs stomped other teams
The Colts had such a dynamic season that year.
Can't get more dynamic than winning the Super Bowl also known as the Blunder Bowl
Len Dawson, R.I.P.
Memories! Good ole days and simple times has a kid in the 70s. Love it.
They were wonderful weren't they? I was born in 67. So I was a 70's kid and I loved it! Everything was better! I even love watching the commercials that aired during that game! While I don't remember watching this, since I was only 3 at the time, I do remember the mid 70's MNF and the iconic show that it was. These are precious memories! Your comment was spot on perfection! Take care!
Amazing seeing Johnny Unitas playing in the 70s, the man came into the league in 1955
I have been watching football for years. And, this is the first time I've ever seen the I-formation the way the Chiefs line up.
50 years ago tonight on September 28, 1970. Ironically, the Chiefs are playing the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore tonight. A historical fast forward 50 years later Sept 28,2020.
Today's NFL sucks with all the Trump USFL arena underwear worn by the NFL. Plus billionaire owners and their greed.
Man, we’ve come a LONG way with extra points.
Geez!! 🤣
You don't see straight forward kickers anymore. Not since the 80's when Mark Moseley retired.
Beatles01able back when the Goal posts were in the front of the end Zones
Not at Bama. Saban believes the old ways are best.
I attended the Pro Playoff Bowl in January 1967. The Program included an article on Johnny Unitas which quoted him “I feel I can play five more years.” ( I attended the Game the year before with both Unitas and Cuozzo injured for the season and Tom Matte at QB.)
Wow! So many legendary players on both teams! That Chiefs team was really loaded with Hall of Famers and should have won more than one Super Bowl because no team was more talented at that time IMO. Baltimore ultimately won the Super Bowl that season, but I didn't think they were better than the Chiefs even though they had their share of future Hall of Famers. The Chiefs really dominated the Colts in this game and made Unitas look well past his prime.
Silence between plays no loud music after play Wow how things have changed
I hope so been 50 years lol
at 1:14:52 intresting to hear Archie Manning's name leading the University of Mississippi in a game against Alabama>>>
I remember him in college
That was a HUGE game. It marked the passing of the great Johnny Vaught, after 20 yrs at Miss, and Miss' football fortunes went downhill after that. In other words, Miss wasn't good in 1970 just because of Archie. Vaught won several conference titles against Bryant and even held his own with General Bob Neyland during their brief yrs of overlap.
Archie Manning who's son Peyton played and won a Super Bowl with the Colts and then won another in Denver, and his other son Eli who won two Super Bowls over the Cheatriots
Super Bowl champion vs. the next Super Bowl champion.
would like to see more 1970-72 games in general. with the rule change about the hashes and ball placement really changed the game from that point forward in a drastic way because defenses didn't get the sideline as a defender or awkward angles for FG attempts.
love defensive football and those advantages to the defense in that way are really interesting to me.
This game was unavailable in most of Maryland (as well as the Harrisburg, PA market) because of the NFL's blackout rule of the time
Hall of fame members.
Baltimore Colts: Johnny Unitas, Ted Hendricks, John Mackey.
Kansas City Chiefs: Len Dawson, Emmett Thomas, Johnny Robinson, Jan Stenerud, Curly Culp, Willie Lanier, Bobby Bell, Buck Buchanan, Lamar Hunt, Hank Stram.
Ted Hendricks Also won titles with the Raiders
@@mm-gl7sz Super Bowls XV and XVIII
Stram WAY ahead of his time with his offensive formations and the way he shifted his running backs and TEs.
So much better back then... the games move along, we see more commercials by the end of the 1st Q today than all game back then.... passing was not as plentiful but the running games were king... golden years of the NFL.
I always loved the original opening sequence.
Back when football was played by badasses……rough, tough and no BS.
My dads and if I was alive Unitas would been both our hero’s
You might want to lookup the definition of hero.
it's nice to see even if a little fuzzy, thanks :)
3:07 Cosell used to ask some doozies... like Unitas was going to declare he had no long balls left in the tank - and just before a game to boot. Next question was good though, sort of predicting mobile QB's that now dominate.
I've never seen a 3 back set like that. Also, it's interesting to see a football game in a baseball stadium. That just doesn't happen anymore.
wpl The Raiders still share the Oakland Coliseum with the Athletics. But this will probably be the last season we’ll ever see football played in dirt.
@@umbc8 The Baltimore Colts won the World Series, that year.
@@liecrusher3506, guess again..it was the CINCY BENGALS. SAM WYCHE pitched a three-hitter.
1:29:39 The rare, two-minute commercial. This one was for Marlboro only a few months before the extant ban on cigarette advertisements would begin.
Ron Flatter wish I could go back in time to 1970
Damn, that commercial was epic!!!
It will never be this good again.
My childhood defined . Lived for Monday night Football and the halftime highlights.
It was good to see everyone standing for the national anthem and the great Dandy Don
National anthem dosent constitute the same meaning for every one , especially many ex and current military veterans ,like myself .
Ole Mike Garrett had some quick moves
Despite this dominating win by the Chiefs over the Colts in Baltimore, the Colts wound up winning the Super Bowl over the Cowboys and the Chiefs failed to make the playoffs with a pedestrian 7-5-2 record.
@THE ORIGINAL PROFESSOR CHAOS I agree, and had it not been for the Ben Davidson late hit, KC would have won the Western Division in 1970. th-cam.com/video/f6EF9bBmOKU/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo
@@delaware137 l find that to believe Ben Davidson a late hit?
Many written off the Colts for 1970 after this game, they would win the Superbowl
Lenny threw some beautiful passes in this one!
Wow! I haven't seen it all yet, but what a hard fought game at a classic old ballpark. All the legends are there. Who'd be a better test for the Colts than the reigning world champions - Kansas City, whose defense mainly gave Norm Bulaich no quarter - all over him.
Saw Colts' center, Bill Curry, early in the game, fire out on Chiefs' tackle, Curly Culp, driving him backwards six yards. Amazing quickness he had.
Gloster Richardson uses pure speed to outrun both Baltimore defensive backs, into a seam and - boom - touchdown.
Colts tight end, John Mackey has a wire "birdcage" facemask. I had never known him to sport one, now increasing in popularity for running backs, DB's and receivers, by this time.
Tommy Thomason Memorial Stadium was terrible to watch football at
Marlboro commercial lmao
Brad Ploof before cigarette commercials were banned
Roy Jefferson from Baltimore Colts to Washington Redskins in one short year wow he could drive from Baltimore to Washington DC Amazing
Why did the Pittsburgh Steelers give up on him
He must have had car trouble during the off season
Six HOF's on the Chiefs defense. Wow!
as well as the 1st kicker #3 to be put in the HOF !
Mryrhodesian -The Chiefs also led the league in interceptions a bunch of times in the late 60s/early 70s. The Colts also were a defensive juggernaut between 1967 and 71. Both teams were only able to get one ring because in both cases, the offense regressed especially in KC after their 1969 SB winning season. The Vikings also regressed offensively after letting Joe Kapp go in 1970. In 1970 and 71, the Vikings allowed 26 offensive TDS in 28 games but the offense was putrid. Alan Page was MVP in 1971
THANK YOU VIRGIL. THAT WAS MY TEAM STILL IS THE OLD COLTS I WELLED A FEW TIMES. VIRGIL I LIVE IN N.J. STARTED OUT IN PHILA, SO I ADOPTED TH EAGLES. I REMEMBER THIS GAME LIKE IT WAS TONIGHT, VIRGIL LET'S STAY IN TOUCH, REGARDS, BOB.

"A.B.C. Monday Night Football" was believed to be the last television series to be sponsored by a cigarette company.
Tobacco companies were able to advertise on television until 1971 when ads were banned from all tv.
Not so. The final commercial on network television for a cigarette was for Virginia Slims on Johnny Carson's Tonight show Jan. 1, 1971.
$99 for a car.... For the week.. No mileage Limit! (of course.... Nobody had $99!)
The reigning Super Bowl champs vs the upcoming champs. Both would make way for the Dolphins and Steelers in a few years.
This is a good( in color) look at what Johnny U looked like in his Colts uniform/ High tops from the 1960’s
I’m assuming the Colts uniforms/ helmets didn’t Change much moving from the 60’s to early 70’s
Pretty cool....
The only difference from previous years was the addition of names on the jerseys for non-AFL teams, (AFL always had them).
@@jackmessick2869 the colts unis haven't really changed over the years except for the names on the jerseys. Their facemasks went from grey to white to blue then back to grey though
Who's watching this game now, exactly 50 years ago tonight, on Monday, September 28, 2020?
What a era of football 🏈🤓👍👈
👍🏈😔
1:34:32 “Walt Garrett”? That is actually Walt Garrison. Howard did not make too many mistakes doing these highlights over the years, but this was an early one.
