Blanda to Super Bowl bid despite loss to Colts
In Baltimore George Blanda, 43, vows to return next season after the Raiders fall 27-17 to the Colts, ending hopes of a Super Bowl run. He quips about fatigue and age, insisting he never tires and remains an elite quarterback. Pablo Casals, aged 94, is noted for playing a mean cello. Northwestern fullback Mike Adamle wins the 1970 Silver Football Award.
