Featured Highlight - Rams @ Raiders, 1988
Godzfire recently uncovered a few NFL Primetime episodes on YouTube from the late '80s. Among them was the Week 9, 1987 episode (or Week 10 if you include the strike-canceled week from that season) that was posted by a classic news/commercials/etc. account named ewjxn a month or so ago. I believe this was the first 1987 episode newly posted on YouTube since Andy Provin posted Week 11 several years ago. There were also two episodes from 1988 that were embedded at the end of a couple Patriots' game broadcasts from the Classic Pats Games+ account. The first of those episodes (Week 3) included yet another Musikos song that I hadn't previously heard on a Primetime highlight. "Instant Replay" is contained on the enigmatic Musikos Sports 2 album, and—just like every other song on Musikos's releases—the artist isn't credited. I figure it's probably William Soden, but I can't be sure. At any rate, that now makes 10 Primetime tracks that come from the Musikos Sports series (and I wouldn't be surprised if there's more).
Accompanying Instant Replay is the third-ever "Battle of L.A." between the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Raiders. The Jim Everett-led Rams prevailed by 5 points over the Raiders, who were in their only full season under future Super Bowl winner Mike Shanahan, in the Coliseum. Special thanks to Godzfire for finding these late-'80s NFL Primetime episodes and immediately ID'ing Instant Replay after watching them.
