Denver Broncos Win
Denver sent kicker Charlie Gogolak to New England for a 1971 fourth-round pick that the Broncos used on defensive end Lyle Alzado. Trading a marginal kicker for a mid-round pick is routine, but this one produced Lyle Alzado — a Pro Bowl pass rusher and franchise icon of the 1970s. One of the best late-round return values in early-franchise history.
