Houston Oilers at San Diego Chargers '79 AFC Playoffs story: music NFL films

Tribute to the Luv Ya Blue Houston Oilers, who upset the Chargers 17-14 in the 1979 AFC Divisional Playoffs, a feat made even more remarkable as neither Oilers' star RB Earl Campbell nor gutsy QB Dan Pastorini played due to injuries. Oilers safety set an NFL postseason record by intercepting 4 passes from Chargers quarterback Dan Fouts. Music by Sam Spence of NFL films.

I remember watching Rob Carpenter crawl back to the huddle on one play.

Fouts really stunk it up in that game. Reminds me of 2011 Philip Rivers.

This game was the ultimate example of how much heart the Bum Phillips-era Oilers had, and how much they loved him and how well they played for him.

Even though I rooted for the Chargers in this game I have really enjoyed watching this video.
