We have often written about the father / son duo of Ed and Steve Sabol….the powers that be behind the genius that NFL Films has been over the years….as father Ed garnered the rights from the NFL to film their games….and son Steve was in charge of production…..who hired such outstanding talents as Harry Kalas as host and narrator….Pat Summerall as host and narrator…. and John Facenda as the voice of NFL Films….resulting in a Gold Standard that has virtually been unmatched over the years of film productions regarding all things NFL.
NFL Films produced such outstanding film series as The Men Who Played The Game……Great Games, Great Teams, Great Years…..The NFL’s Best Ever….and so much more….including a Game Of The Week series…..as seen in these 1979 games with Dallas Cowboys vs. Chicago Bears…..and St. Louis Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers….which were that particular week’s featured games…..as nobody covered a Game of the Week quite like NFL Films….who always had the best camera angles.
As far as this lil ole chiweenie Sportsphile is concerned…..these NFL Films Game of the Week highlights are some of the best of the best….as produced by the best of the best, NFL Films….especially when they’re of Da Bears, the Cowboys and the Steelers….cuz man, that’s like dying and going to Heaven.
