@6400az I meant the 1970 Colts had Eddie Hinton as RB. You are talking about Roy Jefferson. Matte could go right and left on the run. But he would always like to go up the middle first then shift either way.
Ok, the 1970 Colts. Their RBs where Tom Matte, who was injured the 1st game of the season and placed on injured reserve
Then the starting RB's where Norm Bulaich and Tom Nowatzke. Sam Havrilak played some RB, as well as rookie Jack Maitland.
Eddie Hinton # 33, was a wide receiver. Not talking about Jefferson # 87. Obtained from Pittsburg after 1969 to replace the departed Willie Richardson.
@6400az The 70 Colts, were, without a doubt, the worst team ever to win the Super Bowl...which makes one wonder, how in the hell did the Colts post an 11-2 record? What alot of people don't know, is that, the Dolphins were the wildcard in 1970...here's another "did you know"...George Blanda, at the age of 43, was the oldest athlete in the history of sports to win an MVP award...
Well, that may may be true.But saying the Colts ( or any other team) where the worst to win the SB, is like saying Donald Trump is the poorest of the top 10 billionares :/
Being a Vikings fan, I can't begin to tell you how gladly I would have exchange the title of " "worst team to win the Superbowl " for just one little victory !!
I remember a quote from John Unitas that when Blanda came into the game, it meant Unitas was the younger of the two quarterbacks in the game, something that hadn't happened for a long time.
I remember this game too. back then when they merged and became one league people didn't like it especially when the clots ended up in the Afc because at the time it was a joke. They were nothing compared to the NFL. When they did that I think I quit watching it but the Colts won against Dallas in the superbowl.
@ScottInVa1760 There was nothing like watching Johnny Unitas it looked almost like ballet, sorta, lol the teams played for the love of the game, and for the fans I dont watch now makes me sick. It looks like freakin Hollywood. pfffft the players back before the merge were better and the whole damn team didnt make in a yr what these doped up giants today. make, 1 player makes as much or more. money ruins every thing
The background music from 8:04 to 9:13 was also used in the opening & closing credits of the ABC-TV western The Rebel in its syndicated run.
Even though I was too young to have enjoyed that Super Bowl championship season, the Colts were my team all the way until Bob Irsay shanghaied them to India-no-place. Now I love me some Ravens. BALTIMORE ALWAYS & FOREVER!
@6400az Are you sure about that? The unreliable Wikipedia lists a Ron Gardin that played for Baltimore as a return man that year that retired and became president of the NFL's retired players association.
I remember watching this game on television. This video is a time machine that sent me back to my youth, at least for 25 and a half minutes. Thanks for posting it!
Are you reffering to my earlier post about the Raidesr not beating the Colts in SB III?? I know we'll never know it, but I just don't think Lamonica would have been as succesfull beating the Colts blitzes. He was a QB that needed time to set and view the field, he never would have had eneugh time. Plus , the Raiders relied on the long ball, considering the Colts zone ,THAT too would have meant Lamonica required even more time.
@6400az Yes. And you may be right about Darryl Lamonica against zone coverage. Thats how he lost his job to Ken Stabler in early 1973. But then again, I've seen people blitz both Quarterbacks, and they would quickly hang the ball in the air long enough for one of the speedy recievers to run under it, and catch it. TOUCHDOWN!!!! :D But then again, who knows? Right? God bless you. :)
@6400az. The problem with the Colts is that the defense couldn't handle running backs who could go out wide to their left. The Jets exploited that with Matt Snell and the Raiders in this game did too. The 70's Colts had Eddie Hinton instead of Tom Matte, he could go out wide and catch passes. Tom was a north and south runner.
This was the closest that the Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers ever would come to facing each other in a Super Bowl. If you remember, the NFC Championship Game was being played at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco- The 49ers hosted the Dallas Cowboys but lost that game as well.
@rayjr62 Two years later the Raiders and 49ers again were in the playoffs and again their fans were getting geared up for an all California Super Bowl, but Oakland lost to Pittsburgh on the "Immaculate Reception" and the 49ers lost as the Cowboys scored two touchdowns in the last minute. Both games on the same day, December 23, 1972.
@TheRetro64 Yes, but both those 1972 playoff games were divisional (1st round) playoffs. In 1970, both the 49ers and Raiders were in their respective NFC and AFC conference finals.
it is true that lamonica,never played his best ,in any of his chapionship starts, but kc would have lost that game,if the refs would not have called pass inter.on a fourth and 28,with 4min.to go! had the chiefs punted the raiders would have done what they did all game run the ball! just like they did every time they played kc!
Does anyone know the names of the tunes (or the composers) located at 9:13, 10:47, 13:59, 15:55, 17:17, and 22:17 of "Duel in the Dust" (The 1970 Raiders at the Colts) above? Any information will be greatly appreciated.
@kedrick1100 At 17:17 the song is "Power Drive" by Johnny Pearson. Sorry I don't have the information on the other songs. I would love to know the song at 14:00.
I don't think it was the Packers who exposed Lamonica. The Raiders went 25-3 in the next 2 seasons following that loss and Lamonica was named player of the year in 1969. I too felt that the turning point for Lamonica was that Jan. 1970 playoff loss to the Chiefs. But, they did the same to Namath the following week and he was never the same again either.
Gotta love the introduction of the Colts line-up. Notice how the stadium announcer only gets out "at quarterback, number 19..." and gets drowned out by crowd noise.
Everyone ( including Lamonica) said the Raiders of 68' would have beaten the Colts in Superbowl III.......... No way ! Even though the Colts of 70' where different team, their rush would have been too much for any of the Raiders QBs.
Plus, they also would have had to deal with a healthy Tom Matte
@6400az listen, what team exposed lamonica? the chiefs on jan 4 1970, when the bomber got pounded by the kc dee, now, after this game, he was never the same... in 70, in half the raiders games, blanda relived him, cause now, teams understood how to dee him... now do you understand? ask me, and i will be glad to help you
It was the Packers in Superbowl II who exposed Lamonica.
Quite frankly I don't really appreciate your tone friend. Assuming I needed help, I would'nt come asking you......................now do you understand !
@graciemaemarie11 The Packers exposed Lamonica in SBII, alright. But they exposed everybody that year, 1967. They gave up fewer than 100 yards per game through the air; arguably the greatest pass defense in the modern era. Lamonica still had some awesome years, including 1970 (leading AFC passer, citing Facenda in this very video at :39).
I'm a lifelong Packers fan, but outside of my beloved green and gold, this 1970 Colts teams is one of my favorite Super Bowl champs. Not the best, but one of my favorite.
@SuperJM1980 I tend to gravitate toward teams where they have to overcome some adversity to get it done, win some close games, expose some human values while getting it done. Much like the '67 Packers and current defending champs, '99 Rams, '80 Raiders, etc. Not calling them the best teams - in fact, some of the worst SB champs - but among my non-Packers favorites for reasons outside of dominance.
I also like teams that do it when the chips are down.The 67' Packers with all their injuries did it, with little known player like Chuck Mercein and Ben Wilson.
My team, the Vikings never got it done.except once ! When they beat the Rams in the The Mud Bowl..12 point underdogs, two thirds of the backfiled injured, they where old ..and yet they won.
These 1970 Colts are among the team I most admire. To come back from the SB III disaster and then win SB V was Outstanding!
