Jack Tatum was extremely dirty. The Raiders back then prided themselves on being a dirty team. Whether it was lathering arms up in stick 'em glue or head hunting play, they made sure they left teams battered and bruised.

When they played the Bears in what was dubbed the "most violent NFL game ever", the Bears were focused on inflicting pain right back and giving them a dose of their own medicine.

This game was so bad that Jim McMahon had a lacerated kidney and urinated blood. Both teams were trying to kill each other.
