Strams Fling At Calling The Plays A Success
Kansas City Chiefs coach Hank Stram called the plays for the first time and the Chiefs beat the San Diego Chargers 33 to 0. Stram hinted at continuing sideline play calling next season and said the job carried responsibility but could lift the burden from quarterbacks. Ed Podolak Jeff Kinney and Wendell Hayes scored on runs and Jan Stenerud added four field goals while Ron Waller faced a rough finale as interim Chargers coach. The Chargers fumbled five times and threw three interceptions in a disappointing 7 5 2 season ending game.
