I am.
I remember the game (and the night) in which it was announced that John Lennon had been shot to death, on December 8th of 1980.
Only one day before that happened (December 7th) the Colts were robbed of a miraculous comeback against the Bengals, and were eliminated from playoff contention because of it. They were losing by a score of 31-6 in the 4th quarter when Bert Jones engineered 4 touchdowns to allow his team to take a 33-31 lead. With less than a minute to go the refs bailed out the Bengals on a horrible pass interference call, and they subsequently kicked a field goal to win by a score of 34-33.
Just one week earlier, the Colts had beaten the 1st-place Buffalo Bills to vault themselves into contention.
