Rams Aim To Defend NFC West Crown Under Knox
Los Angeles Rams enter the season as top NFC West contenders under Chuck Knox. The club emphasizes a spruced offense, solid defense, and a two-back setup with Lawrence McCutcheon and John Cappelletti. James Harris or Ron Jaworski will start at quarterback, with Harris out six weeks due to a broken thumb. San Francisco adds Jim Plunkett as quarterback, while Seattle joins the league with Jack Patera as head coach. Atlanta and New Orleans expected weaker, Saints trading for Chuck Muncie and Archie Manning recovering. The Rams seek the NFC title after playoff losses to Minnesota and Dallas.
