1967, the year I became a Boston Bruins fan was also the year the NFL hooked me for life.
December 17th of that year on the final regular season weekend, the Baltimore Colts, 11-0-2, visited the Los Angeles Rams 10-1-2 at the historic LA Coliseum to determine the Coastal Division Champion. The Rams won in a rout 34 -10 which set them up to face the legendary Green Bay Packers in the divisional round game which they lost 28 - 7.
These were the Johnny U., Lenny Moore, John Mackey, Raymond Berry, Jim Parker, all HOFers, Caltimore Colts vs the Roman Gabriel led, Deacon Jones, Merlin Olsen Fearsome Foursome Los Angeles Rams.
One loss between both teams on the last weekend of the regular season facing each other for the Coastal Division championship and the playoffs at stake.
Anyone else having something similar to share?
