Agree with the laterals as an individual category being stopped see below extract from the 1950 NFL Championship game.

Also spotted that John Rauch (future HC of the Raiders and Bills) started at QB but was ejected near the end of the 2nd quarter. It also appears (LA Times 28-Sep-1951) that the Rams achieved there offensive yardage total with an all rookie (all playing their first NFL game) Offensive line. LT Don Si...

Also spotted this Rams possession that appears to show that the Rams punted on 3rd down. 1-10-LAR 30 D.Hoerner right end to LAR 42 for 12 yards. 1-10-LAR 42 PENALTY on NYY, Defensive Offside, 5 yards, enforced at LAR 42 – No Play. 1-5-LAR 47 N.Van Brocklin pass incomplete to T.Fears. 2-5-LAR 47 PENA...

Thanks John Just to add to the quirkiness I also noticed a couple of other things from the game that I'm sure have a similar explanation. On the first play of the 4th quarter the Yanks scored on a fumble return of 30 yards (interception of a lateral pass) the line of scrimmage was the Rams 40. Sound...

As a Dolphins fan I was intrigued with this post, so have looked at the play-by-play for the game. I do think that whoever was doing the play-by-play made an error with both the Yanks Net yardage as well as the Rams. The Yanks should be 111 yards and the Rams 722. The Yards Lost Passing have not bee...

Very strange coincidence as I was just about to post a question along the same lines. I have just watched the 1954 NFL Championship game and noticed that when Pete Brewster scored his 10 yard touchdown from Otto Graham, he caught the pass and then knocked to the ground by Joe Schmidt. Pete Brewster ...

On the interceptions. Emmitt Thomas' first interception was in the end zone in the third quarter and he returned it to the KC 6 yard line. The other three interceptions were all in the fourth quarter. With Thomas returning his second for 62 yards. Marsalis returned his interception 23 yards and Kear...

I have been undertaking a stock take of all the gamebooks on the member area with the files obtained from the late Rupert Patrick. This has taken a lot longer than I anticipated but have fully completed the 1960s, 1970s and up to 1982. Hopefully the 1960s and 70s will be updated on the members area ...

Hi everyone I have been undertaking a stock check comparing all the gamebooks held in the members only section with gamebooks / flipcards / score sheets Ken Crippen obtained from Rubert's sister. I have also added and upgraded some copies. This work is very near completion. It has taken longer than ...

How about
