Notes:  The Chargers’ Dennis Pardee kicked a tie-breaking 45-yard field goal as time elapsed to give San Diego the victory.  After Cid Edwards’ 1-yard plunge and the extra point had tied the game at 17 with 17 seconds remaining in the last period, the Cardinals’ bid for an on-side kick failed and San Diego recovered.  John Hadl’s 10-yard pass to Gary Garrison set up the winning field goal.

 

Look for Frank Bonner (WKRP In Cincinnati) selling Arrow shirts, Don Adams (Get Smart!) selling Skittle Score-Ball and Hertz, and O.J. Simpson selling RC Cola.

 

Thanks Rick!
