Rookies in italics Just as they had in 1967, the Rams and Colts staged a season long battle for the Coastal Division title.
Both teams won their next two games, but then the Rams had to rally from a 10-point 4th quarter deficit to tie the 49ers in San Francisco, 20-20.
The Bears played inspired defense, even knocking quarterback Roman Gabriel out of the game for a time.
Finally, trailing by a point, Gabriel rallied the Rams and appeared to pass them into field goal range.
But a late flag for clipping cost the Rams the gain and set them back 15 yards into their own territory.
