NFL Game of the Week

New England Patriots at New York Jets, 1977 (13x2)

Air date: Oct 08, 1977

Walt Michaels had been the linebackers coach on the Super Bowl III Jets. Now, nine years later, he was the head coach in New York. In this Shea Stadium-based game, a rarity for Week 3, the Jets had their hands full with the talented Patriots. But Walt Michaels got his first victory (one of three on the Jets' season), 30-27.
