Watch Broadway Joe, Johnny U. square off in 1972 NFL shootout

Among the NFL Network's Saturday video releases was a curiosity. In the lineup of seemingly endless NFL Draft items and the Marshawn-Lynch-to-the-Raiders reports and updates was a highlight reel from the game between the New York Jets and Baltimore Colts on Sept. 24, 1972. Unadorned with commentary, the video shows some of the top plays from a remarkable NFL regular-season game.

Each team had a future Pro Football Hall of Famer at quarterback. For the Jets' Joe Namath, the contest against the Colts turned out to be the most prolific of the former Alabama star's career.
