...Unitas, 45, Raymond Berry, 45, and Gino Marchetti, 51. On the Giants side were Charley Conerly, 56, Frank Gifford, 47, and Kyle Rote, 50. Primed on beer and banter, the Baltimoreans puffed and passed to a 28-14 victory, overcoming such verbal assaults as that made by Referee Sonny Jurgensen on Marchetti: "Wait a minute, Gino. Your stomach's offside!" Then all retired to a picnic. Kyle Rote summed up the sweaty reunion thus: "Listen, we all survived...
...Louis falters, the Washington Redskins are prepared to pounce, led by the aging master of the clutch pass, Sonny Jurgensen, 41. Not far behind are the Dallas Cowboys, who have bounced back from a dismal start with the help of powerful running by Fullback Calvin Hill. Whoever wins in the East will probably have the dubious pleasure of facing the rugged Minnesota Vikings in the playoffs, while the N.F.C.'s wildcard team-probably the runner-up in the East-will play the Los Angeles Rams, directed by gifted black Quarterback Jim Harris...
...Player of the Year. He threw a lot of interceptions (24) in 1971, though, and was taken out of the 49ers game with Buffalo this year with an injured wrist.

...wearing the old high-top-style cleats that he sported when he broke in with the Baltimore Colts 16 seasons ago, is 38. John Brodie, a survivor of 15 colorful campaigns with the 49ers, is 36. Bart Starr of the Green Bay Packers is 38 and considering retiring. Sonny Jurgensen of the Washington Redskins is 37 and ailing. Griese, on the other hand, is only 26, and has already logged five seasons as a starter. Staubach is 29 and "in the best physical condition of my life...
Allen said before the game that quarterback Sonny Jurgensen, who has been out most of the season with an injury, would see a considerable amount of action. However starting quarterback Billy Kilmer played a near perfect game, completing 14 of 19 of his passes for 246 yards and 3 touchdowns, and was never in danger of being replaced...
