Jack Pardee with Deacon Jones LA Rams
Early 1960s NFL action! Members of the Los Angeles Rams defense move in to stop Amos Marsh of the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys were still in the days of their infancy (we think this is taken from the game in 1962 - a 27-17 Cowboy upset of the Rams).
The Rams were in the beginning stages of assembling that great and dominating defense that in just a few years would earn the nick-name of the Fearsome Foursome. By the mid-60s, with defensive lineman Lamar Lundy, Merlin Olsen, Rosey Grier and Deacon Jones, the Rams would become a defensive powerhouse.
