Correct......Jets Steve O'neal back in 1969. Cowboys Matt McBriar had a nice 75 yd punt against the Texans. That is second in Cowboy's history behind Ron Widby's 84 yd punt in 1968.

The "Walking Encyclopedia of Texas High School Football" (the Red Mustache) has informed me that Steve O'Neal was from Hearne Texas and also played at Baylor. He is currently a dentist in Bryan.

Sorry to argue, but Steve O'Neal kicked for Texas A&M. I'm looking at my OLD trusty Texas Football mag from 1966 and 67 as I type. I attended quite a few Aggie games back then............and yes I am older than most dirt!!!!!!

Name the 3 teams that moved from the NFL to the AFL during the NFL/AFL merger in 1970? They joined 10 AFL teams to make up the new AFC.

considering the NFL record for sacks in game is 7 by Derrick Thomas...I would have to say nobody.
