Great that we have video to see it. He's definitely underrated when it comes to being mentioned on the greatest safety list

The Oilers should have never let him leave their team.

I was never an Oilers fan, but I miss the teams I grew up with that aren't around anymmore. like the Oilers, OAKLAND Raiders, BALTIMORE Colts. I really wish the Texans had revived the Oiler name. I dont know why the Titans would retire it, if they don't want it anymore, pass it on, like the Ravens did with the Browns name.

@@steveswangler6373 Unfortunately, greedy Oilers owner bud Adams somehow got the NFL to retire the Oilers name, logo and colors as part of his theft of them from Houston to Tennessee- ( if ever there was a place that didn't need a team)

Having been born out of state with most of my relatives in Tex., and a Dad who worked in Houston, after I lived with my paternal Grandma for three years in between my Dad's marriages, I moved to HOU., and as a young kid rooted for HOU- AFL, AND DAL. -NFL..In 1967, the two were one win away from SUPE 2. I stayed with the OILERS- AFC, DAL.-NFC IN THE NFL until it dawned on me that they would never win anything great with ADAMS as the owner. At that point in 1972, I switched to perennial loser Denver who looked like they were on the verge of breaking thru with a fairly young team although in my first yr., DEN had 5 wins only and DON HORN at qback. CHARLIE JOHNSON AT QB changed all of that in 1973.. I made the right choice. I also liked their reddish orange at that time, unis with the royal blue helmet, twas different than any other team. In 1974, growing tired with a COWBOYS team that had grown complacent with 10 wins or so a season, but only turned it on when they had to, and still thought they were entitled to win, I dropped them and made DEN MY NFL team, which despite the last few seasons, they are my fave.. TO THIS DAY..51 YEARS, 51 SEASONS..later.

The game you saw - that was a great old school AFL game. Wouldn't it be great to be able to watch it? But I guess a tape of the game was never saved.

But when they covered AFL games, they had to wear their red "AFL Films" jackets because although most of the merger had been phased in, there was still some animosity between the two leagues.

Jerry Ashlock I agree unfortunately, the Titans retired the name and own the rights to it.

Houston Cougars are using the Oilers old Royal blue color scheme. Titans threatened to sue them. UH said eat sh*t.

don hill how can you say "should have" ? they both lost their respective league championships. the two teams (Green Bay and Oakland ) that should have been there were in Super Bowl II.

Loved him as a kid.

That game was the only AFL game I saw live.

it's a shame that Tel Ra didn't do more of the AFL highlight films, as they were excellent. The 1967 Bills crashed and burned to a 3-10-1 record, but film was first rate, especially action at Fenway, beating the Patriots 44-23. Many of the production folks, along with Charlie Jones joined NFL films in 1968.

Check joe’s record against his peers. He was nothing special most of the time.

Many of us feel the exact same way!

The Oilers won the AFL championship in '60 and '61. Those were the only two.

Miller. Farr. & ken. Houston !!!!

Yes '67 was their last year at Rice Stadium.

short career ,what happened.he was really good

@@alfonsecoppola5938 he just plays golf

Could be, yes.

yes its charlie.

One of my all time favorite football announcers along with Dick Enberg and Don Criqui

Ya

The had a helmet logo the next year. The one they wore had for their first 4 Super Bowls.

I thought their helmets were attractive, though.

And there will be even less in the future. A study has shown that a white family is more likely than a black family to not allow their high school student to play football, due to CTE.

The red ref unis was an AFL thing.

WRONG! Art Powell played for Oakland from 1963-66 before joining the Bills in '67, Tom Flores and Powell headed east to Buffalo and Daryle Lamonica west to Oakland.

Warren Wells was the Raiders biggest deep threat in the late 60's and Fred Biletnikoff was the possession guy

It's property of the Tennessee Titans anyway

After winning SB-3, Namath never won a game again against a team that had a winning record at the time of the game. When I first heard that on an NFL films show I thought that can't be right. Their following season after SB-3 they won their division with a 10-4 record. So I check Wiki for that year and sure enough all 10 wins were against teams that had losing records going into that game. Only thing I give him his credit due is that he was the only QB ever to have a 4000-yard passing season in a 14 game season (1967). It didn't happen again until 1979 when they were now 16 game seasons.

@@jacktheripoff1888, Namath played on a totally deteriorated knee from 1965 forward. The doctor told him you have five years to play and that is it, after his first knee surgery and told his mother that by the time he was 40, he would have the legs of a 70 year old. What was the Baltimore Colts record in 1972 when Namath lit them up for over 400 yards and 6 passing tds, besting UNITAS in a total offense shootout of over 800 yards between the two clubs. The Colts were not over .500 when that game was played?

Secondly, you cannot compare pre receiver contact rules stats with post-contact rules...or..the defenseless receiver rules era, or head targeting ejection era, or the expansion of the neutral zone early 1990's era, or offensive linemen blocking with their arms not extended, era...or, the contracted width hashmarks era-the latter making it harder to throw to the wideside-..or, the qb throw away the ball outside the tackle box era, 14 games expanded to 16 games in 1978, etc.. IT WAS A DIFFERENT GAME, then.. Because of all that I mentioned, teams ran the ball 60-70 percent of the time before the rule changes. Namath's performance in SB3 was one of the greatest pre-rule changes games in history. He went 17-28- no picks and over 200 yds..and went through a historically great 1968 Colt defense with that quick release, audibling almost everytime up at the line of scrimmage. He read that Balty defense like no other qb did the whole year. If he had played on two good legs, he would have been one of the greats statwise..

@abe lincoln, he passed for over 300 yards, rare for anyone back then vs. the Jets.

Jerry Philbin thought his partying cost him the AFL East Title particularly this game.
