In 1981, CBS changed the game opening music and kept it through the 1985 season. The 1981–1985 NFL on CBS theme was a peppy, fanfare-styled theme. The patriotic-like opening graphic showed the Stars and Stripes morphing into the words ""National Football League."" For their Super Bowl XVI coverage at the end of the 1981 season, CBS' theme music eventually became the theme for CBS Sports Saturday/Sunday. The music itself, could be considered a hybrid of the then, NFL Today theme and their original college basketball theme. CBS would use this particular theme again at least for the NFC Championship Game at the end of the 1982 season.
