The WEIRDEST NFL Broadcast in NBC HISTORY | Jets @ Browns (1981)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk6CLNNPQ_M

In a 1981 NFL on NBC game between the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets, which came one year after the famous Announcerless Game, NBC experimented with something similar, where they had just one man, Dick Enberg, in the booth, with no color commentator alongside him. The end result? A disastrous broadcast with awful reception that was so bad that it has never been replicated by the network since. This is the story behind the bizarre, controversial broadcast involving the NFL on NBC.
