Why the Cowboys don’t wear these uniforms as throwbacks is beyond me.

#OTD in #SteelersHistory 1946 after a half time talk by Coach Dr. John Sutherland the #Steelers came from behind to win. Bill Dudley scored three touchdowns as the team swept the series on their way to a much improved 5-5-1 season as Coach Sutherland's coaching improved the team.

Vikings at Lions Week - 1976: Minnesota musters just 168 total yards (47 passing for Tarkenton), but the defense wins the turnover battle vs the Lions 2-0, and the Vikings Nate Allen blocks the PAT that would have tied it.

Vikings at Lions Week - 1972: The Viking defense is again king, as they give up just 213 yards of offense and create 5 turnovers. Fran Tarkenton throws just 15 times in the game, but two were for TDs. Vikes in an easy one, 34-10.
