Trivia: In 1968, NBC cut off the end of a Jets vs. Raiders game to play what film?
The Sound of Music
Heidi
Jailhouse Rock
Carousel
The correct answer is Heidi
So why is this answer correct? : One of the wildest finishes of the 1968 football season happened off-air when a musical about a Swiss girl named Heidi took over the airwaves. The New York Jets took a three-point lead on the then-Oakland Raiders with 1:05 to play, and an NBC executive decided that when they came back from commercials, the network would just start playing “Heidi” at its regularly scheduled time. The Raiders stormed back, scoring twice off-air in the final minute, turning a 32-29 deficit into a 43-32 win, while football fans flooded the phone lines to complain.
