Great vid, meng. I was born in '67, so, I can't speak to first-hand knowledge of the veracity of this;my dad swore that Sonny Jurgenson could throw a ball 65 yards in the air while standing flat footed. My dad loved him and called him the"tipsy, tubby redhead". 😊
Sonny could certainly air it out, while also going for the soft touch when called for. He attributed his arm strength to a practice routine he started in high school, where he would throw passes while on both knees. He also said that he relied a great deal on shifting his hips, to get the whole body involved. He later passed that tip on to his friend Billy Kilmer, who credited Sonny with greatly improving his throwing ability -- and the stats bear that out.
The ice bowl in 67 was the first complete game i can remember watching as a ten yr old.. My Grandmother had a little black n white tv that was shaped like an egg & thats what i watched it on.
"As "always..."Mark..the "compilations" are"always..."diversified" with "plenty of "action"..and the additional" info"..." you pull"up"with..("Very Good")!!
Yes, it certainly was! One thing that continually amazes me from this era is how poor the playing conditions were. For instance, the turf in St. Louis was absolutely toast.
Loved the upload. Thank you. Certainly not just because of this play, but Cuozzo was one most awkward players out on the field. Although the wheels eventually came off, it was incredible how many were sure of his greatness based on potential 4:56
Jefferson! Wow. Abramowitz was a heck of a player. In '67 I was at that St. Louis stadium, it was beautifully manicured for the Cards - Phillies, wow it looked like a poor surface for football Cards. St. Louis was/is a baseball town. PS: I was a little squirt (from Des Moines) with a (red) little league uni on. Sonny was 33 in '67, surprised me, man was he good & what longevity. Thanks brother, I love it so, appreciated.
2 kickoff returns for touchdowns has only been done 11 times.Williams was the second one Timmy Brown of Philadelphia was the first just 1 year before.Williams might have been the only one with 2 in one quarter I'm not sure about that But I know that the record for kickoff returns in one quarter is 3 ! 1998 Ravens Vikings,2 by Baltimore 1 by Minnesota including back to back by Patrick Johnson and David Palmer m
I think the refs were ibstructed to swallow their whistles on kickoff and punt returns starting in the mid-'90's in an effort to pump scoring and keep pace with the increase in MLB's scoring. To put it bluntly, some of those td returns should have been called back.
Speaking of the Saints (longtime Aints) I met Tom Myers in 1972 who played for them 1972-81. In 1978, he had a 3 interception game against the Vikings in New Orleans and ran one of Tarkenton's 4 INTs back 97 yards for a TD they needed to win the game 31-24. I think he wears a rug nowadays because his hair was thinning in 1972. Don't tell him the professor told you. I been a Saints/Aints fan since meeting Tom Myers whose parents lived on my street way back when.
Myers made the Pro Bowl the following year. He had a solid career and played for the Houston Gamblers in '84 and '85. I bet you didn't know, Professor, that he was Jim Kelly's roommate.
@@markgardner9460 The only thing I know about Kelly is that he didn't want to play in Buffalo, but then he played poorly in 4 straight SBs so maybe it was a bad idea. What I did know about the USFL: if Kelvin Bryant had played as well in the NFL he might be in the HOF.
Somewhat off topic, but a recent edition of the That Chapter Podcast is called "The Murder and the Missing Jetpack" and covers the weird tale of the three men who invented and promoted the "jet pack" (technically, it's a rocket belt). Worth a listen!
Cowboy Blue Back Then Was A terrific Color For the Cowboys ....... Its Fun To Guess The Names Of These players , But U do A terrific Job Of Helping Us Out .......... Always Thought Don Perkins Was Very Under Rated ....
Perkins was 5th on the all-time rushing yardage list when he retired. He's a 6X Pro Bowl player who deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, in my opinion. Thank you for commenting and watching!!
I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, began watching in earnest since 1963. The late '60s, before the NFL-AFL merger...were my very favorite years to watch pro football. As everyone knows, the NFL is totally different today. As a Cowboys fan: 1. Roger Staubach 2. Don Meredith 3. Troy Aikman 4. Danny White 5. Eddie Lebaron God bless our pro football heroes from a by-gone era 🏈
I was also a rabid Tom Landry and Cowboys fan from the late 60’s until Jerry Jones purchased the Cowboys and in my opinion did not treat the legendary coach with the respect he should have received. I like the comments about the blue jerseys and Roger the dodger. I think may have been because I was so young then but there was something magical about the Dallas organization and Landry’s innovative systems , their ability to find talent in unexpected and unusual places and then develop that talent. After the early 60’s,thru the early 80’s, Landry’s teams were always in hunt for the NFL championship or Super Bowl. You could never count them out, even with a dismal start in some years. I loved watching and following them in those years. I knew all of the players names, background and numbers. Except for rookies and a minimal number of free agents and trade aways (like Craig Morton) the core team would remain the same during many of those years, unlike teams today.
Although not a Cowboy fan,I really thought that they had a great organization for many years and that Landry was a great coach obviously and Staubach was possibly the best quarterback of the 70s and he was absolutely a class act!
Hi Marc, as I recall when I originally watched these 1967 NFL highlights they just started putting in the proper music beds. As you know before 1967, a lot of canned crowd which was pretty cheesy. Your music is much more interesting than the ones they used in 1967.
Yes, the original highlights had canned crowd noise which is as cheesy as it gets, like you said plus the announcer was so-so, in my opinion. I didn't wear a jersey in this video, but intend to in the next. Now, which one.........?
I like 'em even though a lot of fans don't. I'd have to get an Andy Russell, if I had an opportunity in which to purchase one. I think they may have called those herseys their "Keystone" jerseys. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The irony of Bakken missing that field goal at the end is that he set a record with 7 field goals in a single game earlier that season- against the Steelers.
Another great video! It was neat to see Jurgy and the Redskins, why isn’t Jerry Smith in the HOF? I really enjoyed watching Lombardi’s Packers! They were a dominate team back in the 1960’s!
@@tygrkhat4087Seems like Taylor was hoping for "Lightning in a bottle!" But his diminished skills and a much worse offensive line pretty much ended that idea!
It took me a few minutes to figure out why I didn't see any baseball dirt when the Packers were hosting Cleveland in Milwaukee. The Braves left for Atlanta a couple of season earlier.
The Saints would give the Cowboys an even tougher fight when they met earlier at the Cotton Bowl. It was a rain soaked muddy affair. Dallas ended up winning that one at the end. Dandy got hurt a couple games prior. So Craig Morton came in for him and did a brilliant job keeping the team winning. Morton showed why he was picked no 1 in 1965. Meredith finally recovered and the team began playing some great football. They got Lance Rentzel from Minnesota. he was a perfect complement to Bullett Bob Hayes. And Doomsday was tremendous down the stretch.
@@markgardner9460 Lee Roy Jordan, Chuck Howley, Dave Edwards. They were considered light for their positions. Landry favored speed over size. For about 5 seasons straight nobody had a better run-defense than Doomsday. The pursuit of those LBs(plus Lilly and Pugh up front) was the reason for that.
"The Flex Defense" was designed to stop the run is what I have read. Lilly was unbelievably good. Even double -eaming him had no negative affect upon his stellar play.
@@markgardner9460 Before the 1958 Championship against the Colts, the Giants had a playoff game against the Browns. Jim Brown was young and unstoppable. Tom Landry's Defense held Brown to just 8 yards rushing and just 26 yards in total. Stopping the Run was Tom's niche. Tom took that same philosophy to Dallas. When he got the players he needed That's when they became Doomsday. From about '66-71 they were the best Run-Defense in the league. It culminated in SB VI. Holding the great Miami run-game to just 80 yards. It was Landry who made the MLB what it became. Sam Huff is in the HOF. And Lee Roy Jordan should be.
Love this era! Starr, Sonny, Brodie, Leroy Kelly, Jackie and Jerry Smith and others such as Roy Jefferson Larry Wilson,Ken Willard,Bill Nelson,Bob Lilly of course,Frank Ryan ,Frank Clarke,Lee Roy Caffey Sonny Randle,John David Crow Lou Groza in his final year of course Tom Landry, Vince Lombardi ( way too many to name!) but Mark's videos are a trip down Memory Lane!
Cardinals would go 9-4-1 in 1968 and Steelers would slump from 1967 to only two wins, but they tied the Cards again in '68, effectively foiling St. Louis' Division Title hopes. Browns went 10-4 in '68. Surprised at how the Packers layed it on Cleveland.
The Browns went to the air after being down early. It seems like they panicked. They did have success with the ground game, but that's when they were down by 28 points and the Packers were not expecting it.
The Browns were prone to getting blown out at times, usually by Western Division teams. There were some ugly total blow outs in the late sixties - like this one vs the Packers. LA beat Cleveland 42-7, Minnesota laid a 51-3 on them, not to mention the NFL Championship games in 1968 and 1969 which were total blow outs as well.
The uniforms from that era were usually much better than today's but I don't think that the gold on the Steelers neck/shoulders looked very sharp,but I might be in the minority here!
@stevenzimmerman4057 I actually thought that I was in the minority for liking those Steelers jerseys - mainly because their unique and I like the color scheme.
The Browns feasted on Eastern Division teams in the late sixties. But for some reason, they’d get mauled by Western Division teams. Fortunately, the two divisions didn’t play each other very often - maybe only once or twice a year - and then in the NFL Championship Game in December.
@@markgardner9460 Dick Schafrath, John Wooten, Monty Clark, were very solid, maybe not HOF, but Pro Bowl selections - plus Milt Morin (89) was a big, versatile TE and I liked RB Charlie Harraway (31) who was an excellent blocker.
The Browns were getting older and slower on defense, and got exploited by good offenses. That was especially true in the Eastern Conference playoffs, when Dallas blasted them 52-14. The Browns revamped their defense in 1968 and got younger and more aggressive, which paid dividends against Dallas and other teams.
Liked how the scoreboard read Dallas 14 Home 7, despite being a home game for New Orleans. Guess they couldn’t make a nameplate for them in time for their inaugural season.
Let’s have a show of hands if you read Jerry Kramer’s book “Instant Replay” about the 67 Packers. I got it from my Dad and read it until my copy fell apart.
remember watching the Packers-Browns slaughter. Travis Williams died a broken man in Oakland Browns got Bill Nelsen from PIT the next year and were much better!
I reviewed it numeroys times and I think Gilliam ripped it out of his hands after he had possession. Of course today they'd take 6 1/2 minutes trying to figure it out. I think that he made a "football move" by running with the ball while maintaining possession.
Donny Anderson 56 total touchdowns 4 in this game! I wàs checking out his stats and I came across something I wasn't aware of; In 1967 Lombardi and Anderson became the first coach/punter to implement " Hang time!" He sacrificed a few yards to kick higher( he was left footed) Green Bay punted 66 times in 1967 63 by Anderson,and only 13 were returned for a total of 22 yards! Absolutely remarkable!
Awesome! 1967, a great year in the NFL. Great uniforms in this video, too! Cowboys in their blue jerseys, I love the Saints with the gold numbers, and the Redskins classic burgundy jerseys, khaki pants & burgundy helmets with the spear.
To me it looked like the defender intercepted it, then John Gilliam the receiver popped it loose. We need a reverse angle view in order to properly determine it, I guess.
Evidently, the defender had secured the ball, was running and the receiver, John Gilliam, popped the ball loose. Today they'd probably overturn the on-field decision.
The highlights are fantastic. The music is brilliant too.

Great toe tap by Danny Abramowitz!
He was a quality receiver who held the consecutive reception game streak.
Yes, for a number of years. Think it was broken by Harold Carmichael.
Yes, in 1979.
Was Carmichael the first receiver to wear gloves?
That's a difficult question for me to answer. He may have been. Answering this will take some research. Thanks for asking!
