Good memories...
Chiefs in a big comeback win against the then undefeated Skins back in 1971. Fantastic one-handed catch by Otis Taylor while his other hand was being held by the DB (Pat Fischer?) to win the game.

Leave it to Mikey to reminisce about a game that happened before most of us were born!

I hated Pat Fischer. He was a dirty player.
Hearing Cosell do the halftime highlights brings back some memories, too. Used to be the only way you could see footage of Sunday's games. |

Great game Mikey, I watched it with my Navy boss at the time who was a big Redskins fan. As you know the game coverage was very limited then, but being stationed in the Northeast a lot of the Redskins games were on the tube.

I'm sure your boss was glad that you and him got to see it...

So yeah, it was sweet. But even at 21, I wasn't stupid enough to rub it in with the rest of the crew though. |

Thank you so much for posting this. I've heard Pops tell the story of that Otis Taylor catch a million times. He was at the game, and it wouldn't surprise me if he's never seen any video of it before. I'm gonna surprise him next time he's over, and put this on for him.

The only bad thing about that is we know how that season ended.

Yep, and if we beat the Dolphins, we are most likely playing the Cowboys in SB VI. ****ing Stenerud missed 3 FG's in that Dolphin game, including what should have been a game winning 33yd FG with < 1min to play in regulation

That game broke my young heart. If the Chiefs had won that game against the Dolphins they probably would have gone on to the Super Bowl, and win or lose would have been a team that played in 3 of the first 6 Super Bowls...Quite an achievement for the day. I could not STAND the sight of the Miami Dolphins for many years after that season. |

The 4 Boys and Dad went off to the game, sat there for what seemed like an all day event, and drove home dejected. As a kid, I did learn a few new curse words that day.
