Greatest Alabama Players: Buck Buchanan was big, fast, quick - and a trailblazer from AL.com

40 Years Ago: The NFL institues the "Davidson Rule" from Silver & Black Pride
In the 1960s, Ben Davidson was the physical embodiment of all things Raiders and he played a hand in a rule change that would take effect in 1976, six years after he snatched victory, or at least a tie, out of the jaws of defeat from the Kansas City Chiefs.
During the Nov 1, 1970, contest the Chiefs clung to a 17-14 lead with about two minutes remaining. They had third-and-three or four and needed only to pick up a first down to run out the clock. Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson held on to the ball on a sweep and picked up about eight yards and then dropped to the ground. Davidson, acutely aware he had not been touched down, speared him in the lower back. A melee ensued and the referees called to repeat the down. The Raiders stopped them and went on to tie the game and outpace the Chiefs by one victory to earn the AFC West title.

Bucs aiming to measure up to the competition from The Enterprise
That opportunity will come on July 9 when the Bucs will meet up again with the Cobras in a 7:30 p.m. kickoff at Battis Field.
Bucs-Cobras?
Football fans with gray in their hair should think back to the days of John Madden's Oakland Raiders and Hank Stram's Kansas City Chiefs, for while there is respect be tween the two teams there is al so a genuine disdain.
Some NFL execs would take Mark Sanchez over a Pro Bowl AFC West quarterback from CBS Sports
Both guys are top-5 picks who didn't live up to expectations with their original teams -- despite a deep playoff run or two during their tenure -- and eventually moved on to a place where people weren't expecting quite as much. Smith, who made the Pro Bowl in 2013, delivered MUCH more in Kansas City the last three years than Sanchez did at any three-year point in his career, however.
