  2. San Francisco looks to its All-Pro running backs to get it back into the game ...

    San Francisco's ball on their 34 yard line. Third and just over 1 to go. 13:39 left in the third quarter. The score is San Francisco 0, Detroit 14.
    San Francisco's QB1 #8 Jim Plunkett gives to FB1 #44 Wilbur Jackson. Jackson runs for a gain of almost 8 yards. Jackson is tackled by Detroit's LB1 #54 Charlie Weaver. First down, San Francisco! First and 10 to go. That was K33buck0 (280) against SO7bltz4 (274).

    According to his 1977 card, Jackson "was named NFC Rooke of the Year by The Sporting News in 1974 after a sensational campaign when he gained a total of 705 yards at San Francisco. In 1974 he became the first rookie to lead 49ers in rushing since 1965." After playing on teams that won 32 of 33 games during his career at the University of Alabama, Jackson was the 49ers' first selection in the NFL74 draft.

  3. San Francisco's ball on Detroit's 21 yard line. Fourth and less than 1 to go. 8:26 left in the third quarter. The score is San Francisco 0, Detroit 14.
    San Francisco's K1 #6 Steve Mike-Mayer attempts a 38 yard field goal. The kick is wide. That was FGPAT (392) against Detroit's FGPATD (386).

  4. After training-camp knee surgery limited his play as a rookie in 1974, Dexter Bussey led the Lions in rushing in 1975 and was named the team's most valuable offensive player, says his 1977 card.

    Up 21-7 with 10 minutes to play ...
