Found the NBC broadcast intro from the 1981 Divisional Playoff game between the Chargers and Dolphins on YouTube. The game, of course, was a Top 5 win in Charger history, and the intro alone is worth watching.The reading of the sponsors is especially choice:
"Today's game is brought to you by ...
"The New Chrysler Corporation ... for 1982 Chrysler has the cars, the quality and the prices America needs ...
"by Schlitz, the master brewer's brew, just one taste and you'll know ... behind every Schlitz is a man who knows his beer ...
"by the U.S. Army ... the Army, a great place to be all you can be ...
"and by Allstate Insurance Company ... you're in good hands with Allstate."
Doubt you'll see Schlitz or Chrysler on a national broadcast these days, but the Army and Allstate are still going strong, and with the same advertising slogans.
War and insurance, getting it dun for decades.
