A very laid-back John Madden calls a Falcons-Patriots game in 1980. This was early in his broadcasting career, before someone told him to start yelling "BOOM!" all the time.

Orange Bowl Defeats Home Field
On this date in 1953, the Chicago Daily Tribune ran its most incorrect full-page headline in a half-decade.
When they talk about 10-1 teams collapsing, it was always an insult to group this Eagle team with the 1986 Jets. The Jets actually won their Wild Card game.
@QuirkyResearch Shoulda rolled with completions but passing yards sounds funnier.
@QuirkyResearch You can never die. You know this, yes?
@QuirkyResearch Bill Peterson Oilers, 2007 Dolphins, 2013 Texans?
@QuirkyResearch My wild swing at this would be the 1976 Bucs as one.
@QuirkyResearch football is incredible LOL thanks for this
