    I was an avid fan of the NFL by 1967. As a youngster in middle school, I tuned in each week. I remember watching the Browns game versus St. Louis on TV - a rare night game in those days. Kelly was my favorite player, with Warfield and Collins close behind. Funny how I remember those players - who are still alive and hopefully doing well today.

    The Dallas victory was the first of 11 straight they would win against the Eagles. The amazing thing about Don Perkins finishing in the top 5 of leading rushers, is that he only averaged about 14 carries a game. Plus he missed all of the 1960 season after getting hurt in Training Camp. Perkins and Meredith were the first two players to sign contracts with the Dallas Franchise. Thing is they signed with the Dallas Rangers. After Tex Schramm changed the name to Cowboys he had to doctor those contracts. The two Dons both retired after the 1968 seasons.

    This is the most informative NFL site I've yet to see and I'm very impressed with the research of my favorite years of 1955 through 1981.
    The interconnecting stories bring intrigue as to the why, the why for's and results of the trades.
    The players, coaches and GM's were interesting folks.
    These teams tried to win rather than trying not to lose. Your presentation brings these fine folk back to life so the history will remain alive and not be lost.
    Also no showboating, stupid end zone dances, playing to the crowd by celebrating for every interception, fumble recovery (like the player discovered the cure for bowel cancer) and sack. As Coach Mike Ditka told his Bear team, "No endzone dancing. Act like you've been there before." Some if the players in response, "They called me a dinosaur!" Continued current player disrespect for their NFL betters.

    p.s. I like your choice of backdrop music.

    Cardinals were pugilistic on defense back then, especially against Cleveland, it seemed; three or four of them piling in on a tackle, wicked shots on the sidelines, etc...
    Steelers, too. This loss to the Redskins reflected what Steeler MLB, Bill Saul, spoke of in a clip, where he said, "you'd play your heart out and lose the game in the 4th quarter." He also opined, in the clip, that opponents likely thought they'd beat the Steelers, but knew it'd be a rough day. They couldn't stay with one QB, for a number of reasons and that situation did not help Pittsburgh.

      They couldn't block my Mom. Of course she was known as a fierce pass rusher.
