...really got off the ground. Time after time Marshall and his fellow marauders-Gary Larsen, Alan Page and Carl Eller-blasted through the Green Bay line to dump Starr or force him to throw hurried, errant passes. Starr's longest completion of the day went for only 13 yds., and he was leveled eight times by the Viking line for a total loss of 63 yds. The Viking line also forced two fumbles and a pass interception that led to the only Minnesota touchdown of the afternoon. Final score: Minnesota 19 (including four field goals), Green...
...game dominated by passers who throw with pinpoint accuracy, and receivers who can cover 100 yds. in well under ten seconds, a fast and aggressive defensive line has become an absolute prerequisite to victory. If Marshall and his fellow ersatz Norsemen can sustain their brutal brand of trench warfare, the Vikings may have a crack at the N.F.L. title that has so far eluded them...
...award. Not that O.J. has been a flop on the field. Buffalo Bills Coach John Rauch boasts that the only thing his fleet young halfback cannot do is walk on water. After two fitful performances, O.J. finally showed his wares last week, carrying the ball 24 times for 110 yds. and catching five passes -one for a touchdown-as the Bills defeated the Denver Broncos 41-28.

...myself another Otto Graham. He is no ordinary man." Named the outstanding player in the college All-Star game, Cook has directed the Bengals' attack with the poise of a polished veteran. In the San Diego game, he completed 14 of 22 passes for 292 yds., tossed for three touchdowns, and ran for the fourth himself as Cincinnati routed the Chargers, 34-20. Against powerful Kansas City last week, he fired a 73-yd. scoring pass to Eric Crabtree in the first quarter and completed four more passes before retiring to the sidelines with a bruised arm. Meanwhile Bill...
...draft since Cornell's Pete Gogolak in 1965. He is already making Dallas fans-and coaches -forget about the premature retirement of Don Perkins. Coach Tom Landry says unequivocally: "Hill is the best running back we've ever had." After two games, Hill had barreled for 208 yds. (an average of 5.1 yds. per carry) to lead the N.F.L. in that department. Hill has amazingly good balance for a big man and runs nearly as well in a broken field as through a tightly packed line. He sprinted 23 yds. for one touchdown, slammed 9 yds. off tackle...
