Bert Jones - Colts - 1978 - Weeks 6 and 8 and Special Teams

The focus of this clip is on Colts special teams. Also featured are highlights from the Colts victory against the Cardinals and upset victory against the defending conference champion Broncos.

Note: Retired players, please contact your representatives about making available for purchase the original broadcasts of games from this era. Or a reasonably priced boxed set of yearly highlights (example, a 1970's Colts highlight film box-set featuring every yearly highlight film from 1970 to 1979 for about $20).

The same can be said for the Game of the Week films (box-set) or the weekly highlight films. For example, the complete15 episodes of the 1972 season of This Week in Pro Football in one box-set collection for about $20.

These films are wasting away in vaults when they should be in every Colt fans video library.

The revenue from the sales of the games from your era could be used for your pensions and medical issues.

I almost didn't watch this clip because 1978 has such bad memories as a Baltimore Colts fan. It marked the dramatic decline of a team that had been in to playoffs years in a row. Hard to believe that less than 6 years after this clip the team had sneaked off to Indy.

Indy is hardly a dump.You have probably never been there.People in the east say the same thing about Baltimore,but since I've never been there I wouldn't flame it like you did Indy.You sound like that idiot on the radio out there.

The Colts started in decline in Baltimore in 1978

@plntntvzn It would never happen because none of those Colts would ever consider playing in that racecar dump that is Indy...Lyle Blackwood was the man!

Special Teams is a 3rd of the Sport of Football

@FrsBigeasy Excellent point. Special Teams is 25-30% of the game. One could only imagine how many Super Bowls Peyton Manning would have won by now if today's Colts had the special teams of the 1978 Colts.

Goes to show you that Special Teams can be just as important as Offense & Defense.
