Very few of us even know about the infamous "Heidi Game" played in in 1968 between the Jets and Raiders, but that doesn't mean it's been forgotten. Every time these two franchises get together, we remember one of the all-time blunders by the NFL.
With Joe Namath and the Jets clinging onto a 32-29 lead late in the 4th Quarter, NBC suddenly broke away from the game to go to the "Heidi" motion-picture in primetime. By the time they realized a huge mistake was made (and NBC returned to the game), the Raiders miraculously scored twice and took a 43-32 lead. It's safe to say, a lot of TV's were smashed in Long Island and Queens on that evening.
