Larry Allen chasing down a fast LBer is amazing.

William Perry literally stomped over 2 or 3 defenders in the Super Bowl TD.

The other Bears nose tackle rumbling for 70 yards was hilarious (the secondary angle)

Btw, AmericanCrow the only reason the NFL didn't/doesn't recognize the AAFC titles and games is all the AAFC's fault.

When the two leagues merged, the NFL requested all the AAFCs scoresheets/stats for all the games played so that they could incorporate them into the ongoing NFL record keeping, but the AAFC refused to give them.

When the AFL and NFL merged, the NFL asked the same of the AFL, who handed them over, thus, all their stats were able to be incorporated.

Meanwhile, here's 5 minutes highlights of a 1944 regular season tussle between the Chicago Bears and the then Cleveland Rams at Wrigley Field.

What's interesting is that the game really doesn't look all that different to today, similar skills on display, similar looking dexterity in all the basics of blocking, tackling, catching, passing, etc. Sure, the athletes today are miles better, but the games aren't all that different. It's really wonderful to see that the standard of play hasn't really changed too much.

and a nice documentary on those early days, how it all started, professional football....

 

[exe ex machina]

Americans played a game called Boston Ball until May 13 or 14, 1874, when McGill came south to play a very different game at Harvard. On that day, football, as Americans came to know it, was played for the first time in America. The Harvard team liked the Canadian innovations to the game such as running with the ball, downs, forward passing, goal posts for a try, or touchdown, and tackling. The Harvard team was smitten with this new sport. They had such a hoot playing McGill’s game that the Harvard team taught the rules to its rivals at Yale the next year. Princeton was the third American school to fall for football. After that ... well, it sure caught on. Americans even played 3 down ball until 1912 or so, the game was to fast for Americans, so they added a 4th down to slow the game down.
