I forgot to add one of the more impressive stats posted by the 1969 Oakland Raiders is opponents completed only 38.9% of their pass attempt against them. That has to be some kind of record for the SB era?

Flores and Coryell both among the finalists in the coaches category. I doubt both get in, which one gets your vote? Flores had 2 SB wins but Coryell's teams seemed to flame out in the postseason, especially in 1979 when many thought SD had a chance to unseat the Steelers. But I always had a soft spo...

1981 Bengals-49ners (SB XVI preview)...

These are some minor points but the '68 Raiders were a little more well-balanced on offense while the '69 Raiders were full blown Darryl Lamonica "Mad Bomber" mode. They had very average rushing numbers but when you have 34 TD passes in that era (including one game where he had 6 TD passes...

How many did Colts TE John Mackey have on his famous run where he overpowered the entire defense??

How could anyone forget "Suitcase" Freddie Steinfort who filled the gap for awhile in 1983 after they released John Smith? The nickname came from his travels from team to team. A great kicker at Boston College, he had one really good season in Denver in 1980 but was never able to stay heal...

The 105 points by both teams is now the third most of any game of all time behind the 113 between Giants and Red...

The upcoming Chiefs-Rams prime time event will be the first MNF game I will watch from start to finish in over a decade. They are advertising it as a match up of Mahomes vs Gurley but IMO it is the Rams QB Jared Goff that may very well decide the game. The Chiefs secondary is horrid and if they load...
