FILE - This is an undated photo showing Joe Namath, left, quarterback for the New York Jets, talking with head coach Weeb Ewbank during football practice session in 1970. As part of its celebration of its 100th season, the NFL is designating a Game of the Week, each chosen to highlight a classic matchup. For Week 2, it is the Monday night game between the Browns and Jets. Joe Namath and Leroy Kelly were supposed to be the offensive stars in the inaugural game of pro football’s prime-time telecasts. But the guys who moved the ball best were the guys in the striped shirts. The guys in the striped shirts _ the officiating crew headed by Norm Schacter _ moved the ball so well that they played a key role in Cleveland’s 31-21 victory and may have played a key role in the important ratings battle against Liz, Dick and Lucy.(AP Photo/File)
