Pro Football Title Games Highlight Weekend Showdowns
Pro football’s annual championship weekend features the AFL battle between the San Diego Chargers and Buffalo Bills in Buffalo with coach Sid Gillman sidelining Lance Alworth due to a knee injury. In the NFL, the Cleveland Browns face the Baltimore Colts as Paul Warfield and others vie for a berth. Alworth’s absence shifts the Chargers to Jerry Robinson at flanker, while Tobin Rote starts for the Chargers in the title tilt. The Bills rely on quarterback Jackie Kemp and top targets El Dubenion and Glenn Bass as Buffalo seeks its first championship in a strong 12-2 season. War Memorial Stadium hosts the Buffalo game under the forecast of snow and a 2 p.m. EST kickoff broadcast on ABC.
