Green Bay improved to 3-0 and claimed first in the Western Division after a 24-13 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Paul Hornung scored two first-half touchdowns, Bart Starr threw an 80-yard TD to Elijah Pitts, and the defense held the Rams without a first down for 25 minutes. The win positions Green Bay as a potential dynasty challenger to the Bears and other storied franchises.

St Louis rallied with three touchdowns on Charley Johnson passes to Jackie Smith Billy Gambrell and Prentice Gautt. Jim Bakken missed an extra point but Cleveland still could not score again. Baltimore rolled past San Francisco as Lou Michaels tied the all time field goal mark and Johnny Unitas threw two TD passes. Norm Snead opened Philadelphia with three TD passes to beat winless New York. Sonny Jurgensen Spurred Washington’s 21 point third period in a win over Pittsburgh. Detroit’s offense sputtered in a game continued on Page 16.
