I remember that game vividly, because the rain on that shitty turf made it look like a skating rink.

100%! Still to me, the most exciting ending in NFL history. Perhaps nostalgia prevailing over everything but yes, you are right, the sheen was so oppressive, can still see it in my head--- and I LOVE being able to remember every moment of it!

The thing that I remember most vividly about that game was Bert Jones with his right arm in a sling, smiling, jumping up and down, and pumping his left fist in the air every time that the Colts scored ...... Bert very badly wanted to the Colts to somehow hold the fort until he came back from his injury.

He came back with a vengeance later in the season vs the Redskins.

And just as was the case for the Joe Washington Patriots game, that Redskins game was a Monday Night Football game ...... Mike Curtis was playing for the Redskins in that game, and I remember him wanting to hit Bert on the last play of the first half when Bert slid feet-first near the sidelines. I was in 8th grade at the time, and the commentators were talking about the sequence of events on that specific play between the former teammates.

I didn’t see it live but I love to watch it again on occasion. Joe’s best game for sure and likely Troup’s as well.
