...Huff is likely to be in front of it. Sam Huff is strong enough to flatten a plunging fullback such as the Chicago Bears' Rick Casares (6 ft. 2½ in., 225 Ibs.), swift enough to recover from a block in time to nail a halfback sprinting around end, smart enough to diagnose pass patterns and throw an offensive end off stride with an artful shoulder. But Huff is at his rugged best when he knifes through the line and "red-dogs" a quarterback as he fades to pass...
...throws touchdown passes from the shelter of the league's finest offensive tackle, mammoth (6 ft. 3 in., 275 Ibs.) Jim Parker, 25. If a man does get by him, Parker contritely reassures Unitas in the huddle: "Johnny, it won't happen again." The Colts also boast End Raymond Berry, who is slow and small (6 ft. 2 in., 190 Ibs.) as pro ends go, so near-sighted he wears contact lenses during a game, but has proved so twinkle-toed a faker that he has caught a league-leading 48 passes in eight games...

Wreathed in sweat and steam, Tackles Dick Modzelewski (6 ft., 260 Ibs.) and Rosey Grier (6 ft. 5 in., 285 Ibs.) block up the middle. Boss of the defensive backfield is gritty Jimmy Patton (5 ft. 10 in., 180 Ibs.), a fleet (9.9 sec. for the 100) ball hawk who has suffered concussions batting down passes...
...ball and is back on his haunches, it's going to be a pass," says Huff, "because he's getting ready to move back fast and pick up the red-dogging linebackers. If the guards have their weight off their hands, it's a run around end. They're already thinking about pulling out and leading the play...
