The National Football League (NFL) saw an opportunity to grow its audience with a syndicated series that featured its Game of The Week in a tidy 30 minute package. The series ran for 38 seasons in syndication until moving to the then-nascent NFL Network in 2003. Ion picked up the show for its final season in 2007.
In celebration of the 50th anniversary this Saturday of one of the most improbable plays in league history, we're looking back to 1972 and "The Immaculate Reception". Ray Scott is the narrator. This is taken from a replay on ESPN Classic.
Raiders QB Daryle Lamonica passed away earlier this year, and earlier this week, we lost Pittsburgh RB Franco Harris. This is dedicated in their memories. No rating out of respect.
