Punters Clash in Coliseum for NFL Punting Title
In a tense NFL Western Division showdown at the Coliseum, Green Bay rookie Dick Deschaine faces Rams veteran Norm Van Brocklin in a punting duel. Deschaine averages 49.4 yards per boot on 59 attempts, while Van Brocklin averages 44.5 yards on 58 punts. Deschaine, listed as an offensive end, has yet to play that position this season. The Rams, 7-3-1, are favored to beat the Packers, 6-5, as other Western teams contest for playoff positioning. Deschaine delivered a 73-yard punt last week, a standout among his early-season plays.
