We think this is from an AFL game in 1969 - Don Maynard had 47 catches on the year for 938 yards (a 20.0 YPC average) and 6 scores. In this game he had 8 for 137 receiving yards in a 40-7 Jets win. Named AFL All League and East Squad All Star.

A story from WINK-TV in Fort Myers, Fla. on the Green Bay Packers' game in Tampa against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Oct. 14, 1990. (For some reason - likely an old source tape or bad 1s and Os - the video drops out partway through and you miss a few plays. Apologies.)

NFL history 🏈 Happy 63rd Birthday Ohio State Buckeye Keith Byars! Whichever Team Keith played for, he made better. He was a ferocious blocker, special teams nightmare, excellent RB/ TE & threw 6 TD passes, tied for 3rd All-Time! Immeasureable,multi-talented player that teammates loved.

Falcons defenders Tom Pridemore and Bob Glazebrook look to stop Dallas FB Robert Newhouse during the 1980 NFC Playoffs. The Cowboys defeated the Falcons 30-27. A week later the Philadelphia Eagles ended the Cowboys’ playoff run 20-7 and advanced to Super Bowl XV against the Raiders.
