I can remember the 1970s through the early 1990s when the Dolphins and Raiders were two of the NFL’s marquis franchises. Neither has been relevant for over twenty years.

The Bears have five or six primetime games this year, including Thanksgiving and Christmas. Just at saying.

Early 80s, we thought Marino would be in several SBs. He never got back after losing the one in 84.

Raiders are just dysfunctional. They have some pieces now, though most still think they’ll be last in the division.
