My favorite game in the rivalry was 1974 Week #9 at the Yale Bowl. Namath scored the game-tying TD on a 3-yard keeper (bad knees and all!) late in the 4th quarter) then won it with a 5-yard toss to Emerson Boozer in OT. I believe it was the first overtime game for both franchises.

He should have been teamed with former WR Ron Sellers of Patriots-Cowboys fame. His nickname? Old "Jingle Joints"!!

Hurting the Rams was the unavailability of star RB Lawrence McCutcheon. A lot of the country did not get to ...

That's a great idea for a project. I don't think game sheets would give that information, so a deep dive into newspaper articles would seem to be the way to go for anyone who wanted to undertake the mission.

These Dolphins are good but could they compete against those '66 'Skins that set the record? [Insert tongue-in-cheek emoji here]

Everyone should be aware that Raiders QB Darryl Lamonica smashed his hand on KC DE Aaron Brown's helmet in the 3rd quarter. After coming out for a series in favor of George Blanda he returned with his throwing hand quite swollen and then preceded to toss the 3 picks. He also got hurt the following y...

This is 2023, that kind of thing almost qualifies as a prerequisite for candidates!!
