Perhaps no coin flip in NFL history had deeper consequences. After the Steelers and Bears both finished 1-13 in 1969, a literal coin flip decided the No. 1 pick in the 1970 NFL Draft. Pittsburgh won it and they selected Terry Bradshaw first overall.

Bronko Nagurski works upfield against the Detroit Lions in 1934. Lions back Ernie Caddel (#1) and another defender attempt to tackle the massive fullback, while Bears tackle Link Lyman (#12) looks on without his helmet.

In honor of today's NFL Draft, flashback to when the Bears took Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers back to back in 1965

Too bad the Bears didn't do much when they were both there.

(Another terrible sketch by me lol)

Dolphins 1970s Fullback Larry Csonka

>Larry Csonka – NFL Past Players

In the 1970s, Larry Csonka was the very definition of power football. He rushed for over 8,000 yards in his 11-year career and averaged 4.3 yards a carry. That looks like long-time Viking Veteran Wally Hilgenberg on his back.

I don’t remember this Great Teams Great Years series, 1970s. I would have been all over these at the school book fair! 😂
