50 Years Ago Tonight
September 27, 1976
First Sudden-Death Overtime Game in Monday Night Football History
Redskins 20
Eagles 17
At the rain-slickened Vet, the Birds jump out to 10-0 lead, only to fall behind by seven.
Philly's Mike Boryla hits Charlie Smith with a late game-tying touchdown bomb to force overtime, but Washington's fifth interception of the night sets up Mark Moseley's game-winning field goal 12:49 into the extra period.

The Autumn Wind is a pirate… Blustering in from the sea, swaggering boisterously, robbing the trees of their gold.
A villain big and bold — and a Raider through and through.
Written by Steve Sabol.
Voiced by the legendary John Facenda in 1974.
Still the most epic, spine-chilling battle hymn in football 50+ years later.

Jeff Bagwell was hitting .368 with 39 home runs and 116 RBI through just 110 games in 1994. Then he broke his hand on August 10. Two days later, the players went on strike and the season never resumed. What a ridiculous year he was having.

Sandy Koufax soaking his throwing arm in a bucket of ice after a game. He would retire from baseball at the age of 30 due to chronic arthritis.
