PRESEASON - 1961 Rams 21, 1961 Raiders 14

The Rams took full advantage of Tom Flores' INT's (2) to jump out to a 21-0 lead, which they held until the 4th quarter.  Flores found his touch and threw a pair of 30+ yard TD passes late in the 4th quarter to make the game look much closer than it truly was.  Dick Bass scored LA's first two TD's with a pair of nice red zone runs (8 and 7 yards).  LA's swarming defense sacked Flores 8 times and hurried him into INT's all day.  Bob Coolbaugh caught 4 passes for 118 yards.  Bass had 47 yards (2 TD's) on just 4 carries.  Rookie David "Deacon" Jones had 3 sacks and 2 near sacks of Flores.  The Raiders never found an answer for the 23 year old pass rushing phenom.
