Since I've already replayed the 1966 AFL season (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1338), this will strictly be a replay of the NFL season of 1966 using Leeman's franchise file and great uniform & field artwork. I hope you enjoy following along and without further adieu, let's get this season started!
Week 1
The Eagles and Cardinals get the 1966 NFL season underway on a 70-degree afternoon at Civic Center Busch Memorial Stadium.
Prentice Gautt rumbles 38 yards for the game's first score.
Charley Johnson has good protection in the pocket before connecting with Mal Hammack on an 11-yard score.
A packed house for the season opener in St. Louis.
And the capacity crowd were treated to their Cardinals jumping out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter.
Jim Bakken added a 44-yard field goal...
...and then a 52-yarder.
The Cardinals controlled the ball and the game in the first half.
And the home team was in complete control at the break.
The Philadelphia Eagles' Aaron Martin tackles Jerry Stovall on a punt return, causing a fumble which Martin returned 2 yards for the Eagles first score.
Jim Bakken kicks his third field goal of the game.
The Cardinals were still comfortably in front heading into the final quarter.
Timmy Brown scored on a 1-yard toss and then plunged in for the 2-point conversion to bring Philadelphia to within one score at 23-15.
Sam Baker narrowed the margin to 23-18 after the Eagles recoved a fumble on the ensuing kickoff.
Norm Snead guided the Eagles into Cardinals' territory looking for the win in the final minutes, but Pat Fischer would pick Snead off on this play and return it 65 yards to ice the outcome.
The Philadelphia Eagles got the ball back one last time but it was too late for a miraculous comeback.
The Cardinals survive a scare to win the home opener.
