it would be illegal (blindside... offensive player beyond the LOS heading back towards the LOS to engage) by todays standards but was a clean block at the time...

Rumor was Pepper Johnson wanted to join the space program so, always helpful, Byars launched him into orbit.

Byars was Pepper Johnson's brother-in-law........that must have made for some good holiday conversations......."....hey Pepper, remember that time i destroyed you on a block......good times"

This pops up on here from time to time, and I always need to comment.

Was a real "wow" moment for me, kind of solidified me nailing my colours to the Eagles.

Word has it , Pepper's team mates asked if he was ok and he replied "yeah it wasn't that bad"

Then the replay came up and he said "yaeh, ok, it was that bad" 😄

iirc, they had to take a delay of game before the next play bc the whole offense was watching the replay on the big screen...

It was a long time ago, but I think you're right.
