KEITH LINCOLN WAS MY FAVORITE RUNNING BACK . HE AND PAUL LOWE MADE UP A GREAT BACKFIELD . I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THE CHAMPIONSHIP WAS NOT IN THE CARDS FOR THEM
Every reference I see to Keith Lincoln lists his # as 22, not 31. No one is listed as 31 in 1968. Did they just give him a different # when he came back, and no one remembered to write this down? Funny, but one of the few times I remember a RB getting his jersey torn up and then wearing another player's jersey was with the '67 Chargers. My recollection is he "borrowed" the jersey of Dick Van Raaphorst, who was the kicker. The announcers kind of made a big deal out of it. I swear I remember the player as Russ Smith, but given how many carries he had that year it seems more likely it was Hubbert. Of course it looks like Lincoln didn't play enough for something like this to have happened to him. Curious.
