@ 0:10 had this card when I was a kid. Glad to see Al Dodd getting some credit here as it was he who positioned Dempsey for the record kick.

Returned the kick off, but then made a great sideline catch to the 37.

Is that Don Criqui on the audio?

This happened on the same day 43 year old George Blanda threw a long touchdown pass and kicked a 50 + yard field goal for the Raiders to beat the Cleveland Browns at the gun. One of my most memorable days as a kid.
