Six Days to Sunday “The Original"

Through the years, NFL Films has filmed selected teams intently for an entire week. These have aired several times under various titles, among them Six Days to Sunday and Countdown to Kickoff. The prototype for all this was a film intended for theatrical release, according to Ed Sabol. From November 1 to November 7, 1976, NFL Films kept its eye on the New Orleans Saints as they struggled to find the winning ways. This project, however, was shot down after the Saints fired head coach Hank Stram after the 1977 season. After 25 years, NFL Films finally presents the ultimate Lost Treasure: the original Six Days to Sunday, featuring the 1976 Saints.
