Last night I actually watched the complete 1961 NFL Championship Game when Green Bay beat the Giants 37-0.
Luckily, the CBC covered the game and saved the video tape, unlike CBS, who recorded over it, because back then, video tape was expensive.
They also have Super Bowl V, but it’s missing most of the fourth quarter.

Super Bowl V .... the two teams combined for a Super Bowl record 11 turnovers, with five in the fourth quarter.
The first three quarters they were just warming up.
;-)
... cool. I actually forget that.
I just wanted to see the part where Bob Lilly throws his helmet.
Looks like crap.
I’ll wait for the XFL. Sounds a little more exciting.
After a score, the "receiving" team gets the ball on the 10 or 15 yard line. They get to run one free play with no loss of down. To add some excitement, all rules against pre-snap motion by eligible receivers don't apply for this play. The five offensive linemen and the QB are the only ones who must come to a set before the ball is snapped.
After this play is over, the team keeps the ball wherever the play ends and starts their drive with a 1st down.
The NFL has soiled it’s own bed.
Sucks to be them.
Let’s see you risk your life little elbow grease. Tough talk from a guy sitting safely in his living room.
Ahh, we agree.

SB41 was *Colts* vs. Bears. Indy went on from that start to win big in the rain.
Know your conferences, a.l.e.g.

Many moons ago, if the kicking team recovered the kick in the end zone it was a touch down for them! Another rule that was changed and I really don’t know when it did, but used to a offensive linemen or anyother of your own players could not keep pushing the running back forward, you would get a penalty for it!
During that period Devin Hester was the entirety of the Bears offense.

Yes, I don't know when they allowed offensive players to push the pile the way they do today.
