All NFL game summaries for 10/31/1971:
Earl Morrall passed for 286 yards and three touchdowns in little more than a half for a Colt victory, different from previous ones earlier in the season in that they achieved it largely through the air. Morrall threw TD passes to Willie Richardson (2) and Ray Perkins. Terry Bradshaw scored twice for the Steelers and threw a TD pass to Ron Shanklin. He ran three yards following a fumble recovery by L. C. Greenwood and also scored in the last two minutes after linebacker Chuck Allen made an interception.
