    Is anyone out there actually old enough to remember the 62 game?
    Bart got sacked so much the o linemen later ruefully joked they had invented the "Lookout Block".
    They would just shout out "Look out, Bart!" at the snap.
    The game was a very curious case of a superior team getting their lunch handed to them by an inferior team jacked up beyond belief.
    Alex Karras and Joe Schmidt were unstoppable.

      Not old enough but I did find an interesting tidbit about that game in a book I just read by Fuzzy Thurston. Thurston had a horrible fever or flu that day and admitted he played the worse game of his career, probably shouldn't have been out there in his condition. He apologized for his performance after the game.

      Still probably wouldn't have changed the outcome but it couldn't have helped having him so sick. Nine sacks was so out of character for that line and this explains some of the poor performance.

      Still, Lions had a great front four and came out possessed.

        I love being wrong when I pick the Pack to lose, hopefully I'll be wrong next week cause I thought they'd lose in Detroit and Dallas

          I hate to date myself but yes, I am old enough to remember that pitiful game.

          The Packers marched into Detroit at 10-0 and the Lions completely dominated the Packers. I think Starr was sacked a dozen times by the likes of Alex Karras and Mike Lucci.
