In the infamous 1968 'lost down' game against the Bears, whom did Roman try to hit with a desperation pass
on what should have been 3rd down, the pass falling incomplete and Chicago taking over with 5 seconds left?

Harold Jackson started (1968 rookie w/ LA RAMS) before your time, A2M, but he was still in the NFL in 1983 and still balling out in 1981, looking at his profootballreference.com data.

My first favorite #29!
Came back to the Rams, along with Touchdown Tony Baker, for Gabriel in the first sports trade (but not last) that would break my heart.

EDIT:
Did a quick check and see where Jackson wore #48 as a rookie in 1968.
No wonder things did not work-out ... stupid # for Jackson to wear. That was to be Bill Simpson's Number!
