A friend of the site graciously gave us his recording of the 1978 AFC Playoff Pittsburgh vs Denver TV broadcast synced with the radio call of Jack Fleming and Myron Cope.
Several things are interesting about this. First, the video quality is absolutely superb because it's directly from the Betamax source tape.
Secondly, the person who recorded it was technologically savvy enough in 1978 to connect his radio to the Beta player, allowing him to sync the WTAE audio with the NBC video in real time.
Late in the 3rd quarter (after the Stallworth TD bomb), footage with Fleming and Cope ends, so we sliced it with the regular NBC broadcast, including some great postgame interviews.
A huge Mac & Wife thanks goes out to our donor for having the foresight to record this treasure, and for sharing it with us so we can share it with all of you. Enjoy!
