So John Madden was a relatively new commentator. You can tell he was still learning the tricks of the trade on his way to becoming arguably one of the best commentators ever (especially when paired up with Pat Summerall)..
in Madden's first year they had him with a variety of partners, here with Dick Stockton, a few games with Frank Glieber and Lindsey Nelson, and for a game with Sumeall when Brookshire took off the Sunday after Thanksgiving

Yeah, he sounds...subdued compared to what he became in the 80s

I think also madden worked with Vin Scully for a game also
Madden did the first four weeks of 1981 with Vin Scully before being teamed up with Summerall permanently in week 5.
Love it!!
Packers/Bucs and Eagles/Redskins had different starting lineup graphics why was that.
Most of the broadcast trucks were regional or local during this era. They all did not have the same Chyron's. Some older than others.
