This season he completed 249 passes, a league-leading total supported by Lombardi's fundamentalist ground game. "That's one area we improved upon this year," says Vince, "just by making them run." One result of Lombardi's endless drills: Rookie Larry Brown averaged 4.4 yds. per carry to rank fifth among N.F.L. rushers...
