Plus the 89 yard KO TD and an earlier KO return for 46 yards.

I only have 2 of 6 involving Buffalo teams, either the All-Americans or the Bisons. Not sure if these teams are considered the same franchise. 11/30/1922: Carl Thomas of the All-Americans intercepted Chet Wynne of Rochester 11/1/1925: Tex Hamer of Frankford intercepted Jim Kendrick of the Bisons Mi...

Pat Richter for Washington in the early-mid 1960's

I was thinking early 1960s since teams may want to play it safe because the other league was also holding a draft. The Lions in 1962 with Hadl in the first round and Eddie Wilson in the 2nd round The Jets in 1965 AFL draft was close Namath 1st round someone named Bob Schweickert in the 4th round. B...

I was checking out a solid and somewhat overlooked DB Kermit Alexander of mainly 49er and Ram fame from 1963-1973. Retired with 43 interceptions. Made 1 Pro Bowl. He had some good seasons returning kickoffs and although his longest was around ~50 yards and didn't get a TD, he had a decent average. R...

To answer the OP, I'll just reiterate what Jay Z said in that losing Charlie Brown was a huge blow, and losing Joe Washington was also a blow. 84 Skins scored 100+ fewer points and Theismann's passer rating dropped 10+ points. Brown and Washington were big play guys...they each had over 1200 yards ...
