love those old games , they really stack the line on defense 8 men up front, and the kicker for the browns looks like a linebacker, can remember watching Leroy Kelley in the earley 1970s on t.v.
Kicker Lou "the toe" Groza was once the starting offensive tackle for the Browns in his long career. At this point I think he was only an occasional backup lineman, if even playing there at all.
Steelers had a lot of mean-ness going for them - and cool unis - and that was about all. Roy Jefferson, Ben McGee, and Lloyd Voss were really good players. They beat the Browns and then hammered a good Cardinals team, 30-9. Would not stand for losing to the terrible New York Giants, beat them badly, and finished the season, wasting the expansion Falcons, scoring 50 points in that season finale to go 5-8-1.
Interesting to see head coach and former assistant to Vince Lombardi...Bill Austin's Steelers. One can see the fundamentals there. However the quality of player seems to vary. When they execute, they pull off some great plays.
Steelers had lost five straight games but not quitting - not at all. That was a gutsy play early in the 1st quarter by Marv Woodson (#47) coming up hard on that sweep and tangling with John Wooten (#60). By sacrificing his body on that play, he gummed up the outside run and there were three Steelers all over the runner for a big 5-yd loss. Noticed a good bit of blitzing by Steeler linebackers that forced some poor throws and sometimes resulted in sacks. The Steelers would next pound a good Cardinals team, 30-9. Steelers went 5-8-1 in 1966.
Huge disappointing loss for the Browns at the time. We had our chances, just couldn’t get it done. I remember being so upset by this loss to the “lowly” Steelers.
I am surprised at how the Steelers are hanging in there with Browns. And by how tough the Steeler defense is in this game. I was expecting the Browns to kill them
It was a big deal as they trailed Dallas in the standings by a half game, going into this game, (Dallas had a tie against a good Cardinals team). The same week as this game, Dallas lost to the Eagles who were also good in 1966. If the Browns had won this game, they would have moved into first by a half game.
Refreshing to see these vintage games. No nonsense just play the game. Who were the Steelers coaches? Also didn’t the Steelers play their home games at Forbes fiend?
they played at Forbes field before moving to Pitt Stadium. Thanks to whoever is posting these 60 's highlights. this was my 2nd year as a season ticket holder. My Grandfather, Dad, and their friends sat next to me, my 2 Uncles and their friends behind me Sec. 17... 20 guys in all.. great memories... I still toast them at every home game with a shot of Whiskey before going into Heinz field. I miss those men.. and this style of football.
This was real NFL football; unlike that fake shit I saw all last season in 2021 season. The playoffs were the worst crap ever, like a basketball game. 25 points in the final 2 minutes. Ridiculous! Every game came down to the final play, a Hollywood ending, and the funniest thing is that people believe that it's real. BULLSHIT, it was scripted like a movie
It certainly has to rate as one of the season's big upsets. The Steelers had been beaten by Dallas 52-21 the week before and 41-10 by the Browns in their first meeting.
Almost every play being a slomo is annoying. But I did get that at the time viewers didn't have slo-motion instant replays during TV telecasts. So it would be a big deal to see these highlights that way.
Although qb Ryan led the Browns with collins and Jimmy Brown to win the the NFL championship in 63 , he didn't know anywhere but inside the pocket . thats why he got sacked so much . You had to wait till the Brian Sipe years and Kosar to an extant of cleveland qb's who deftly got out of the pocket to gain time to throw to an open reciever . Although sipe didn't have the arm of a terry bradshaw , he was one of smartest almost effortless qb scramblers i ever saw . He also had that high touch pass to get over defensive lineman and linebackers hands to get to a release running back or reciever for a 10 or 15 yard gain. And also when Sipe threw that high long pass(about 45 yards max) it would just go over a defensive back hands into a browns recievers hands. btw, Leroy Kelly was one of the greatest muddy grass field runners i ever saw . During the Steelers superbowl champs dynasty of the 70's and early 80's, Cleveland a low ranked team in the same division gave the steelers tough games and won a few too in the regular season. wtf did they call it , the turnpike or thruway rivalry ? cleveland and pittsburg are only around 140 miles from each other by roadways .
Was this the first year the Steelers wore black helmets? And their unis today should look just like these; the yellow stuff on the shoulder pads, rugged looking, unpainted facemasks and black shoes. Looked like the Steelers had a better defense. Definitely some hard noses on that defense - Bill Saul, Andy Russell - lots of Steeler defenders around on every tackle.
Dude it has ALWAYS been about money, for the owners. I understand the sentiment you express; I miss the old game too! But not because the players are getting a better shake now. There are larger forces than the players who've altered the game forever.
Leroy Kelly returned punts for Syracuse vs University of Pittsburgh in the mid sixties. Kelly killed the panthers with a TD punt return late in the game

This is such a nice share, thanks. The 60's & 70's are my favorite period of the NFL.
Gary Collins was a great WR.
Yes, highly underrated
He and Paul Warfield one of the best WR duos in NFL history.

I think that those Steeler unis were very cool...
THE COOLEST UNIS EVER!
That shoulder triangle was supposed to represent the three rivers.
totally agree with you
@@michaelshore2609 No, that would be the 1976 Patriots. (See Patriots vs. Jets, October 18, 1976.)
This is the pre Joe Greene era, but these 1966 Steelers were still a tough bunch.
Browns were so good for most of the 1960s, and Steelers were so bad.
Outside Linebacker #34 Andy Russell was on the bad teams but played long enough to win two Super Bowls with the ‘70s teams.
At 20:58, the person pointing is Ross Fichtner. His son is Randy Fichtner, current offensive coordinator of the Steelers.
Great reference

Gary Colin's punted too even threw a few passes when they let him
Linsey Nelson always remind D's me of Notre Dame football replay on Sundays in the 70's
Stealers defense is surprisingly tough in this game, including a good pass rush on Ryan

Ryan was a interception machine.
Sideline camera and WR iso camera were nice touches
Andy Russell was around. Wow. Paul Martha too.
Is that the bus shown outside the end zone that the Browns team drove to Pittsburgh?
Even in the days when the Steelers were losing more than they were winning they always had a tough, hard hitting defense.
Between the Bobby Layne - Terry Bradshaw
eras, the Steelers didn't have much offense, but they most definitely had some good individual players.🏈
Running back, Jim Butler, ended up in Atlanta. He was dangerous on kickoffs. They called him "Cannonball" in Atlanta.
He was also known as Cannonball in Pittsburgh and in his college days at Edward Waters as well.
@@rickeuler5792Edward Waters was in the news lately for a mass shooting now that you mentioned it. Crazy world we're in at present

@@rogerwilliams5366the first year after Jim Brown retired, you can tell the Browns miss Jim Brown
Paul Martha later became a sports agent.
How long did Pitt (college)play at Pitt Stadium?
From 1925 till 1999
They played in Forbes Field from about 1945 until 1961. I saw them play the Redskins in 1961 and I sat in the right field lower stands.
There were some seasons back then that the Steelers divided their home games between Forbes Field and Pitt Stadium.
Was at this game. Browns played unbelievably horrible. Pitt Stadium. Made Cleveland Muni look like a palace.
Walter the "Flea Roberts. A Name from the Past.
The Browns really underestimated the Steelers here. One of the games that cost them when they lost the conference title that year.
Mike Clark gets absolutely lambasted 0:28
Sounds like Lindsay Nelson?
It sure is...
Davan Mani Yes it is Lindsey Nelson.
Lindsay Nelson was the greatest sports announcer of all-time. At one point did the college game of the weak with Red Grange.
I liked the style of the guys back then. Talked less and didn't have to convince you how much they knew about football.
College "game of the weak" LOL
Browns were one if the great teams back then and the Steeler defense played them gritty - two or three of them in on a sack or a tackle.
I'm pretty sure I was at this game
Cannonball Butler
MLB Bill Saul was a local guy from Butler, Pa. Saul was the first guy that the NFL ever ‘mike-ed up’.
At the time the Steelers played at Pitt Stadium which was a dump
Frank Ryan 5 ints
Damn we had cheerleaders back then 😛
This is the 1rst time I saw the Steelers wear white at home
Field just a bit choppy it appears....
It looks as though the Steelers and Browns had cheerleaders on this video.
They were usually high school bands and cheerleaders
Love the gold collars on the Steelers uniforms.
Everyone always did and still do and they never brought them back in any throwback capacity.
the fans loved them but apparently the players or front office did not. I thought they looked great.
The Batman uniforms. Odd they never did a throwback with these, they would make a lot of money.

I'll bet Collier gave his team a good ripping for losing to the lowly Steelers!
It certainly has to rate as one of the season's big upsets. The Steelers had been beaten by Dallas 52-21 the week before and 41-10 by the Browns in their first meeting.
That very same day, the Vikings (before they rose to power) beat the Packers 20-17, if anything an even bigger upset.
Have you “ever” seen the Browns win the Super Bowl?
Steelers home white uni's?
Where is Jim Brown?
retired before this season during the summer

Another 2 miles, Hello W. Lebanon New Hampshire! 😃
The Browns title was 1964. Bears won in '63
Did you notice the spectators were actually exiting on the field. Today you would get arrested for that

Nothing like the collection of hardnoses on the Steeler defense in the next decade.
When Chuck Noll came in 69 he called these players slow and not very good.
@@Spacejunk57 Yes he said in training camp "only 4 or5 of you will be around after this season" "
old good Time Football NFL came Not all about the money Love playing Football 😜🍕🍺 m G Jordan 3/4/2017
It sure was. I miss the game as it was played back then.
Dude it has ALWAYS been about money, for the owners. I understand the sentiment you express; I miss the old game too! But not because the players are getting a better shake now. There are larger forces than the players who've altered the game forever.
I love the mud!
Bill Saul was low-key a tough dude with a very deep voice. The next season, Pittsburgh would change their helmet color to yellow.
Actually the Steelers changed their helmet color from yellow to black in 1963
I can't believe how slow they ran back then...like in molasses.
They had to play on sand and dead grass.
It's because of the film speed.
Steelers big upset one of the worst teams of the 60s no dynasty yet
Note the Steelers cheerleaders. Today’s steelers do not have cheerleaders.
I guess cheerleaders are not politically correct
Ugh I hate when the camera closes in on plays like zoom it out I like it better when I see the whole defense and offense
They sure did run pretty slow back in the 60s 😆
Greg Smith They slowed it down for highlights
Leroy Kelly returned punts for Syracuse vs University of Pittsburgh in the mid sixties. Kelly killed the panthers with a TD punt return late in the game
Kelly went to Morgan State and was drafted by the Browns in 1964. He couldn't have been on Syracuse's team in the mid-sixties, lol!
Comrade Dobler did I say Leroy Kelly? I meant Floyd Little!! Dangit!!
