1968, when percentages were calculated by hand.

The Rams defeated the Detroit Lions, 10-7, but few people apparently
left the Coliseum happy. Mal Florence’s story in The Times said the
Rams were "repeatedly" booed during the fourth quarter when they
stopped trying to pass. Quarterback Roman Gabriel missed his last seven
pass attempts.

Quotes of the game: "That’s got to be the most agonizing game I’ve
ever seen. How long did it last? Five hours?" Coach George Allen asked.

"I have nothing to say," Gabriel told Florence in the locker room. "Let’s just say it’s self-imposed silence."

Headline on the game: "Rams Prevail in Stone-Age Battle." Despite
all the complaints, the Rams moved to 7-1 and were tied with Baltimore
for their division lead.
