Faint Hope For Colts in Cold Playoff Clash
New York AP notes Fran Tarkenton’s success running against Green Bay offers a faint hope for Tom Matte and the Baltimore Colts in the Western Conference playoff game. Matte, a rollout passer who often runs, must deliver against a tough defense. Tarkenton’s style contrasts with Matte’s, yet both muscled through defenses on earlier meetings. The Packers’ home advantage and a strong first score could decide the outcome.
