Earlier Philly Action

With the NFC Wild Card Playoff game in Philadelphia this Sunday, we thought we’d post a few images from an earlier time out east. These images are from the November 11, 1962 game at Franklin Field, when the visiting Green Bay Packers beat the Eagles 49-0. Wouldn’t it be nice if the score on Sunday was similar? Above, QB Bart Starr (#15) barks off the signals under center Jim Ringo (#51).

Starr comes to the sideline to confer with Packers’ coach Vince Lombardi and others.

On defense, DE Willie Davis (#87) takes on his opposing lineman, while LB Ray Nitschke (#66) watches the play develop to determine his attack.
