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.

I saw a YouTube video of Tatum and Atkinson clothesline Swann together on that cold, hard turf. Their "intent" was to take out guys & put em on stretchers and in the hospital.

Definitely a different era of football back during the 70's & 80's.
