I was at the playoff game vs the Oilers (1978?), when Bum Phillips called the "bumarooski" play---shovel pass out of field goal formation--that gave Houston a key first down and changed the momentum of the game.
It was also the game where Fairbanks announced that he was leaving to take the HC job at the University of Colorado, before the game. The Pats wound up losing, and the fans pelted Fairbanks with oranges as he left the field.
It was the end of that first good run of Pats' seasons. "Fargo" Earhardt replaced Fairbanks and the Pats went into the crapper for a number of seasons.
