When West German Defense Minister Kai-Uwe von Hassel appeared one night, he was roundly booed. But when he donned a crash helmet and bravely mounted a racing bike, the crowd went wild...
...outstretched hands for a touchdown. A field goal, a Bear fumble, another Unitas touchdown pass, and the score began to mount like prices at an Atlantic City auction. In the third quarter, Unitas flipped a 27-yd. pass to make it 31-0. Then he pulled off his helmet and let Substitute Gary Cuozzo take over...
