"They could fence and parry to protect their lead.... or they could destroy and demolish".

"The Vikings trailed by nineteen points, and the remaining seven minutes of the game became a despairing, hopeless quest for a goal they knew they would never reach."

John Facenda should be in the HOF.

6400AZ, thank you for a well thought out and articulate post, to often people act as if you are personally attacking them and respond with vulgarity and such.

@ptcpaul

Yes, I've heard of Hardy Brown and the other players you mention. Night Train Lane also went high as did Vikings Roy Winston, Bednarik had the hit on Gifford. But non of us saw it as frequently and as clearly as we did with the Raider players, and THATS why people rip on them. Villapiano on Don Maynard, Atkinson goes right for Stu Voights' eyes also the elbow to Russ Francis' face,,,, Swann or on Glenn Doughty..all from behind.These were'nt hits, they where more of a perversion.

6400az, ever heard of Hardy Brown, his trademark was an elbow to the head,He knocked out more guys then Tatum an Atkinson combined no one called him dirty. Phil Villapiano also went high, called it the bottle opener. I will say I have always detested what he did to Swan from behind, but I do get tired of hearing people rip Tatum and Atkinson, when

Others played the same, you think Butkus didnt take his shots at players when he had a chance? Or Bednarick, he clotheslined more players in a seaso

Ok, did'nt know it was called that. Thanks.

Oh please, I'm 51 is there anything else you need to know from me friend !! I don't deny that the game was played different back then, but going up high, and trying to scrape anothers players eyes/face, was an Atkinson specialty.There may have been players that clothlined and did things considered illegal by today's standards, but Atkinson targeted the face unlike any other. Lott was a hard hitter, Chuck Cecil was a hard hitter, Atkinson was dirty !!

@6400az At 0:10 the track used is titled "Electro Combat." It's on Disc 4 of AUTUMN THUNDER.

[ptcpaul]

6400az, how old are you? That was how the game was played back then, Tatum was not the only player that hit like that, nor was Atkinson the only player that went high on tackles.

Todays players might as well be wearing flags, you basically gave to tackle the quarterback at the torso, and you know why receivers run down the field with wreckless abandon, because they know there are no Jack Tatums to light them up.or Ronnie Lotts for that mattet

The score was indeed the same for both conference championship games. Bryant was one of my favorites, when he was'nt injured he was usually making the huge, big time play.

[GemCan78]

@6400az Yeah, the game in Texas Stadium...the final score was 27-10...amazingly, the score of the Dolphins-Raiders game that same day, was the exact same score,

27-10...Bobby Bryant was very pesky a DB for his time...great memories...

@STP43FAN1

Is that the name of the track? They often play that on Vikings footage.
