Gene Upshaw at 3:48-4:02 saying “just a bruise.” The man his teammates called Highway 63 did not miss one play the Raiders ran from 1967 through 1980. Never hurt, never took a breather. Also the only NFL player to play in the Super Bowl in three different decades with the same team. They should have mic’d him against Buck Buchanan, inasmuch as he was drafted specifically to match up against KC’s great right tackle.
John Niland belongs in the Hall of Fame. PERIOD!
Thats true sportsmanship right their
