50 Years Ago, Today (12/2/1973): Quarterback Steve Spurrier #11 of the San Francisco 49ers throws a pass during a game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Candlestick Park on December 2, 1973 in San Francisco, California. San Francisco quarterback Steve Spurrier, who spent Saturday in traction because of back spasms, directed a near flawless attack against Philadelphia, leading the 49ers to a 38—28 victory. He ran for two touchdowns and threw for one. In his first start since October 28, the former Heisman Trophy winner ran into the end zone twice from a yard out and threw a 28‐yard pass to Gene Washington for third score.
