Tom Matte, Baltimore’s 14 day wonder at quarterback, heads into a crucial test against the Green Bay Packers. With Unitas and Cuozzo sidelined, Matte has learned plays, audibles, and patterns, aided by wristband crib sheets and Shula’s sideline play-calling. He directed a 20-17 win over the Rams last week and will try to move beyond two incomplete passes in that game as he stays in the pocket this week.
