Games W/Out Commentators

For some reason the Saints/Iggles game doesn't have any sound on my set...local problm. Got me thinking. Remember in the 70's or 80's when they played that game w/out the commentators? Does anyone remember who played it and when?

I mute most games, especially the ESPN monday night games.

There is a precedent for airing an NFL game without the use of broadcasters. On Dec. 20, 1980, NBC aired the New York Jets at the Miami Dolphins. The Jets were 3-12 entering the game and the Dolphins were 8-7. (Jets won 24-17). Since the game had no playoff implications, NBC decided to let the sounds from the stands and the PA announcer serve as the sole audio. No players were miked. **** Enberg set the scene for viewers at the beginning of each quarter and then viewers were taken to the stadium.
