Namath Homecoming Doused By Knee Injury
Jets quarterback Joe Namath hobbled from a Birmingham exhibition after a hit from Don Floyd. A knee strain was diagnosed as minor with no ligament damage, potentially sidestepping a serious injury as Mike Taliaferro led a late rushing bid and Jim Turner nailed a pair of field goals. The AFL and NFL scores followed, including Oakland 14 San Diego 7 and Baltimore 31 Philadelphia 17.
