John Gilliam is one of only two players to run the opening kickoff in a team's history for a touchdown. Irony is the other instance was the previous year by Joe Auer of the Miami Dolphins.
Here is a video of games played weeks before I was born in 1967. Getting a chance to see the highlights of these games of some of these games is wonderful! I obviously never saw them since I was still chilling in Mom's tummy. Basically chilling out, eating some "food", and snoozing away I if anything could only HEAR the games? Seriously though, this is a really great opportunity to see these games or highlights of these games. Thank you for this opportunity 🙏 it is extremely appreciated and I thank you immensely. Take care and God Bless! Be safe, stay healthy, and ENJOY LIFE SIR!
I really love these old school NFL videos when real men played football on grass and dirt along with the elements! 🏈Not today’s Twitter rap diva generation started by Peon Deion Pampers...😡Thank You for posting real football players in action! 👍🏻😃🏈I love the old Rams, Eagles and Redskins uniforms too along with head coaches in suits!
@@michaelguerrieri4768Those same "Real Men" quiet as it's kept were popping Amphetamines,pain killers, playing with a concussion, using performance enhancing drugs before it became publicly known yrs later.
Great Dallas uniforms - very dark, but with sparkling silver helmets. Jerseys are Navy blue here (but a brighter, Royal blue by the 1970 Super Bowl) and smoky looking pants and cool striped socks. They kicked Cleveland around in 1967, but the tide would turn - big time - in the next two years vs the Browns. And, Tarkenton instantly made a big difference, for the better, with the Giants' offense
Those are actually the "Home" colors the 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠Cowboys⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ have and still have. Somewhat altered however with the times. The 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠Cowboys⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ have always used their "Away" whites for their Home uniforms, thereby making their opponents wear their Home jerseys on the road. It was supposedly supposed to be a "jinx" or since players are always superstitious, this was supposed to mess with their MOJO. So later some teams like the Washington Redskins started to wear their Away Whites at home, thereby forcing the 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠Cowboys⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ to wear their Dark blues/Home jerseys. I agree however the ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Cowboys⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dark jerseys have always been cool in appearance and have an Iconic look. I wish they'd use them more often though, but it what it us.
@@EdsterIII Yes, I remember the talk about, a "jinx," those blue shirts had. It started when the Browns wrecked the Cowboys in Cleveland in the 1968 playoffs. (Or, was it '69? Browns crushed them in the playoffs both years.) The last straw was Philly trampling them in the '80 NFC Championship Game. Also, Dallas is a murderously hot place for football early in the season. Wasn't uncommon for hydrating IVs to be used at Texas Stadium by both teams. Atlanta and New Orleans are also burning early in the season, so both of those teams also sported white at home early in the year. Falcons were supposed to use black jerseys at home between 1966-1970, but did not use them at home until late in the season, maybe three times in the entire season. It was one of the reasons why they ditched the black.
I just commented on Homer Jones and then saw your comment. I was only 1 when this game was played. But as I grew up a Fran Tarkenton fan, I learned about Homer Jones and liked watching as many highlights of him as possible.
On one of Fran Tarkenton's big TD hookups with Homer Jones, watch 38, Bill Triplett,'s blocking on that Saint defender. It was Triplett that made that play a touchdown. Unreal unis of the day: a deep, sparkly gold for the Saints and those cool,, striped socks, and Washinton, wearing the best uniforms in football, to this day. Had the Redskins had a defense to match that wide open, high scoring offense, they would have been a title-contending team, 1965-1968.
@@horaceball5418 Before Atlanta got a franchise, we got Redskins games every Sunday, and due to the home team TV blackout rule in those days, we still got Redskins games from 1966-1969 when the Falcons were at home. That's how I got attatched to them The Redskins were the South's team before there were an abundance of Southern teams. They were exciting to watch, especially those shootouts with the Cowboys.
Go to the 19 minute mark and watch the Cardinals vs Giants. Seeing Fran Tarkenton throw deep was a lot of fun. Homer Jones still leads the league all time in yards per reception. He made the pro bowl during Tarkenton's first two seasons in New York.
Amazing that Jones still holds that mark to this day. Given all the great WR that came after. And of course one other item thanks to Jones. Spiking the football after a score. In my view the spike is the In-Your-Face move that makes this game so special.
Also seeing Jackie Smith makes me think of Super Bowl XIII and his end zone drop. Indeed on Homer Jones, number 45 was the first player to celebrate a TD with a spike..leading to the other celebrations in year to follow.
The NFL's divisions in 1967 should have been this: Baltimore, NY Giants, Philadelphia, Washington Atlanta, Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh Chicago, Green Bay, Minnesota, St. Louis Dallas, LA Rams, New Orleans, San Francisco the NFL has always been weird with geography
@@michaelleroy9281 the idea was to divide the conferences along time-zone lines the 8 Eastern Time times would have formed the Eastern Conference, and those in the Central Time Zone and California would be the Western Conference
Mr JS Tube...thank you! I love how you start with the unauthorized reproduction warning...Watch Gene Hickerson number 66 on the Browns..textbook blocking!
Yes that was good. He was up against a young Jethro Pugh. Who was a superb lineman for a good 12 seasons. He teamed up at DT with both Bob Lilly and Randy White.
This is an "anti-highlight" video for Larry Wilson, who had a bad day against the Giants. You can see him whiffing on tackles, getting dragged by Homer into the end zone, and then finally taking out his frustration on Tarkenton at the end of one of his scrambles at 22:20, where he throws in a little unnecessary roughness on him after the tackle. A funny moment in this video is referee "sassy-ness" in his signaling of out-of-bounds at 16:29 after the receiver protests.
Then Triplett is the guy that made it happen on that Homer Jones TD. Bob Tucker was, indeed a solid, all around tight end, though - great hands and a superb blocker.
Cleveland wearing White jerseys at home, making the Cowboys wear their rare blue jerseys.....LOL Saints wearing White jerseys at home too, making the Rams wear their blue jerseys.
11:10 “Dave” Jones? This might be the only time I did not hear him referred to as Deacon.

PS nice shot of Gumbo, the Saints mascot (a St. Bernard with his name draped on cloth on both sides).

Charles Ramos - I couldn’t agree more!
Most of these guys couldn't play in today's game because today's player is faster, stronger, more athletic

The Saints have a DB wearing the number 0... the immortal Obert Logan. And Ditka wore 98 with the Eagles, instead of his usual 89.
He later switched to his usual 89 for the Eagles
that's my guy! Finally some clips of 45 reach the internet!

What a matchup for week 1 Cowboys at Browns was the first time Dallas won in Cleveland
The NFL's divisions in 1967 should have been this:
Baltimore, NY Giants, Philadelphia, Washington
Atlanta, Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh
Chicago, Green Bay, Minnesota, St. Louis
Dallas, LA Rams, New Orleans, San Francisco

Nah, they got the Central division right Detroit vs Atlanta 2 times a year?

@@jstube36 Thank you again, if you had pay pal I would send you 2 dollars. I love old football
Cleveland had one of the finest O-lines in pro ball back then. Other good ones would be Green Bay, St. Louis, Redskins and Cowboys, IMO.
One of those voices sounds a lot like Chuck Thompson.
yes it was him....best announcer in my opinion.remember him on the telly when the orioles dismantled the so called big red machine....
love those redskin unis
12:06 John Love - North Texas State.
Saints first game
Cowboys went with a larger star on the helmets with a blue outline starting for 1967
Yes indeed. That look remains as the one we know and love today

That was not Bob Tucker..... it was Bill Triplett..... Tucker was a rookie in 1970
Triplett also played for the Cards and Lions, and maybe much earlier than '66 with the Rams, I think.
Tucker had played in a semipro league on a team called the Pottstown Firebirds, and also maybe in Canada..
Then Triplett is the guy that made it happen on that Homer Jones TD. Bob Tucker was, indeed a solid, all around tight end, though - great hands and a superb blocker.
The announcer identified him as Triplett.
After the first play for the Saints it wouldn't be that easy but they played a tough 1st game
Cleveland wearing White jerseys at home, making the Cowboys wear their rare blue jerseys.....LOL
Saints wearing White jerseys at home too, making the Rams wear their blue jerseys.
2 weeks later the Cowboys made the Rams wear the blue jerseys again
Dave Jones.....lol Deacon Jones if you please
Your point being, asshole?
When he got to LA he gave himself that name Deacon because there are 100s of Dave Jones in LA
@@mr.ramfan8100 what is your point....acting like a prick you pussy
