@1:14-28, from book Football Hall of Shame @1986."Ed Sprinkle (#7)tried to behead QBs.Typical of his ferociousness was pain he inflicted in 1951 game against Cleveland Browns.Sprinkle rushed QB Otto Graham & delivered him crushing blow to head.The cruel move knocked Graham's helmet off & broke his nose. Graham fumbled ball; Sprinkle scooped it up & rambled 55 yards for TD". In that game, there was combined 374 yards on 37 penalties on Bears & Browns.@2:55,was a later game between the two teams.
By the way, the "Sea of Hands" play that gave the Oakland Raiders that playoff win against the Dolphins occurred in the 1974 AFC Divisional Playoof, not the 1974 AFC Championship Game. And incidentally, unlike virtually every other highlight, in which NFL Films uses home team radio calls, the audio from the "Sea of Hands" play came straightt from the NBC telecast of that game, with Curt Gowdy and Al DeRogatis doing the honors.

No, John Facenda wasn't the best voice of NFL Films. He is, and always will be, THE voice of NFL Films.
