Board Games/Old Football Game

Question
My dad and I played a board game that was a football game. The game board itself was about 8 inches tall and about 18 inches by 13 or 14 inches wide. The way you played was the offensive team would put a card on the top and the other player would put the defensive card on top of that. Then you would slide a cardboard piece out that would reveal the light inside the game and you could see the play the offense ran and if a defensive player intersected the offensive line (that had the ball) that is were the ball would be tackled. The game was fun and was from either the 60's, 70's, or the early 80's. Hope you have heard of this game or know someone who does. Thanks for you assistance.

Answer
Greetings once again,

Oooops....here is the link I mentioned.

If for some reason it does not carry through.    Do a google search on Board Game Geek.    I believe the game you are referring to is called ABC Monday Night Football and you can find information about it there.
