that scene of kilmer hobbling off and sonny wobbling on is classic. but even on one good knee, sonny was the best pure passer in the history of the game.
Ron Johnson running through a Ken Houston tackle @ 0:43. Larry Brown getting kneed in the back @ 2:52 & rebounding. Roy Jefferson getting up ended before getting torpedoed @ 3:17.
Awesome game, I also remember another comeback but this time it was by the Giants I think.They were down sometheing like 30-10 against the Skins and it was they who came back.Can't rememebr the year but Tarkenton was the QB for NY.
Also, the player kneeing Larry Brown is Richnmond Flowers #44 the former world record holder in the high hurdles. Great athlete but dirty as they come, he aslo knees Charlie Taylor the same way @ 1:52. Have other videos, and this was his habit.
@6400az you are right on about flowers -- that guy was always hitting late and using his knees to inflict some extra punishment. can't recall if he caught many flags for the infractions, however -- i think he was quite effective hiding his dirty play. didn't know he was a high hurdles champ.
Have you seen the figth he got into with Redskins Jerry Smith on the sidelines. I also never saw him getting flagged.
Flowers was originally drafted by the Cowboys in 1970 ( wore # 45). That year, Dallas had the two fastest players in the league, Bob Hayes and Flowers. His son actually played for the Cowboys not too long ago.
@6400az no, i don't remember that. a scuffle i remember is when the great dick butkus did a leaping take-down that almost ripped the head off of a redskin in the 68 game--might have been jerry smith, or possibly a lineman. needless to say, after jumping up in a rage, the victim didn't want to pursue things any further with the legendary number 51.
i lived in texas for a couple of years when bullet bob hayes was blazing down the sidelines -- people today forgot how awesome a threat he was.
Yep, great catch. A thouroughbred was Roy Jefferson.He palyed a huge part in helping the Colts get to, and win Superbowl V. He more than adequatley replaced Willie Richardson, who along with coach Shula, left the Colts for Miami after the 1969 season. He played one year with the Dolphings in 70'. Did'nt like it , and was back with the Colts in 71!
@6400az Yes, "thoroughbred catching traffic" is my idea of a "go-to guy". Jefferson was huge on giving the 1970 Colts something they had lacked during the 1960s.
@6400az To be honest, everybody thinks so much of "strike fear with their deep speed ability". To me, sneaky players don't strike fear, but they can beat you if you turn your back on them, very dangerous in a sneaky way. Terrence Mathis and Troy Brown were like that.
Oh man, yea the sneaky ones can hurt you. An excellent example would be Max MCgee. I'll take yout word on Mathis and Troy Brown, but I don't know anything about them. Know little if anything about football outside the 60's and 70's.
@6400az The sneaky ones throughout history: from the decade of 00's-Troy Brown, 90s-Terrence Mathis, 80s-Leo Lewis, 70s-White Shoes Johnson (though more noticeably spectacular), late 60s to early 70s-Danny Abramowicz, to name but a few.
im a die hard skins fan but i was only 1 year old when this happened lol. i heard the skins were pretty bad back then except super bowl in 72.

@trampledone The Redskins went to the playoffs in 71,72,73,74 and 76. They were good

before the injuries and over-use prematurely destroyed his career, larry brown was some kind of fantastic runner -- biggest heart i've ever seen.

@yusufu9 I think Vince Lombardi felt that way as well.

At 2:51 What a dirty S.O.B. Love football, I realize it's for men only. But damm it I hate players like Giants # 44 Richmond Flowers!

Too bad the Giants sucked in the 70s or they could've continued their great rivalry with the Redskins.

@6400az i think you are referring to the 1970 game, when the giants roared back against the skins. it's up on youtube, i'm pretty sure.

That's true, much as we loved Ray Berry and Jimmy Orr, they did'nt exactly strike fear with their deep speed ability.
