The STRANGEST SCHEDULING CONTROVERSY of the 1973 NFL Season | Falcons @ Jets (1973)

Common sense... actually prevailed?

In week 11 of the 1973 NFL season, the New York Jets were set to face the Atlanta Falcons at Shea Stadium. The game was originally scheduled for 1:00 Eastern, just as every other Jets home game had always been. But then, something happened that changed everything... and the solution to the problem, especially considering what we know about the NFL on TV back in 1973, might be shocking
