Rozelle Testifies In Atkinson Slander Suit Over Swann Hit
NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle called George Atkinson an outstanding defensive back while labeling Atkinson's hit on Lynn Swann a blatant foul. Rozelle, neutral in the $2 million suit by Atkinson against the Steelers and Chuck Noll, described action as controlled football and condemned the forearm blow that left Swann with a concussion. Former Steeler Andy Russell also described the hit as intentional and dangerous, with Terry Bradshaw agreeing Atkinson clobbered Swann.
