You'd think as they were getting closer they would have given him a buffer of at least 25 yards over the mark. Good question. I'll see if I can come up with a couple later on. Have to get outside for awhile and enjoy this odd looking yellow thing in the Indiana sky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Remember this game, and not sure how the rules of OT have changed but back in the day it was sudden death with kickoffs. What player scored probably the quickest NFL OT win in history with the First OT kickoff return touchdown?

I tried to look the record up but they started with 80 yard touchdown passes. I think the kickoff return was a lot quicker! You could be right but at least it was the first! And you sir are correct about the teams! Probably going to be tough to come up with the player name as that play was about his only time to shine. His initials are DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 I was looking for something else and stumbled upon this bit of NFL history which I am sure even you experts won’t know. One of the most infamous moments in NFL history when a fumbled ball was picked up by a defensive lineman and ran 66 yards into the wrong end zone! Give me either the running back who fumbled or the wrong way lineman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 OK....if you guys get this I'm retiring from trivia. Who is the only player to play on title winning team in both NBA and MLB? I think there is only 12 players ever to play in both leagues. I'll add one more tidbit after answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
