Matte Eyes Crucial Test as Colts Turn to Matte
Tom Matte, Baltimore's 14 day wonder at quarterback, prepares for a vital clash with the Green Bay Packers. With Johnny Unitas and Gary Cuozzo sidelined, Matte has learned plays and defenses, aided by wristband crib sheets, while coach Don Shula calls most plays from the sideline. Matte led Baltimore to a 20-17 win over the Rams in his first NFL start, but faced two attempts and no completions.
