The Met was a tough place to play in the Winter in that Playoff game vs Vikes in 69 Deacon talks about it in his book when the Rams were up 17-7 in the 2nd half looking to add more a potential TD or FG the Rams were inside the 15 after a big play but a Ref thru a flag for holding as Deacon explained the Viking D Player knocked the Ram to the Ground but the Ref thought it was a takedown but it wasn't Deacon continued to say had the Rams gone up 24-7 the Vikes would not have comeback & back then holding calls were 15 yds, also Deacon said he lost faith in officiating then. That game was considered one of the most vicious hard-hitting games of All-time. Then the Mud Bowl in 77 Knox turned & looked at Namath in the 2nd half in a look can you go & Namath nodded no. Namath in an interview later felt bad & explained it was a torn Hamstring. Knox was the Jets OL Coach in 67 but left to be the Lions OL Coach in 68. A tough one for Knox as he missed out Winning a SB with Namath & the Jets in 68 something that eluded him his whole career sadly. GO RAMS!
