National Football League all-star game
The
1965
Pro Bowl
was the
NFL
's fifteenth annual
all-star game
which featured the outstanding performers from the
1964 season
. The game was played on January 10, 1965, at the
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
in
Los Angeles, California
in front of 60,698. The coaches for the game were
Don Shula
of
Baltimore Colts
for the West and
Blanton Collier
of
Cleveland Browns
for the East. The West team won by a final score was 34?14.
[1]
The West dominated the East, 411 to 187 in total yards. West quarterback
Fran Tarkenton
of the
Minnesota Vikings
was named "Back of the Game" after he completed 8 of 13 passes for 172 yards. At one point during the game, the West backfield was all-Vikings: Tarkenton (No. 10), Tommy Mason (No. 20), and Bill Brown (No. 30).
"Lineman of the Game" honors went to the West’s
Terry Barr
of the
Detroit Lions
; Barr had 106 yards receiving on three receptions.
[1]
Frank Ryan
, the quarterback of the
Cleveland Browns'
who had defeated the Baltimore Colts in the
1964 NFL Championship Game
, was knocked out of the Pro Bowl when he was sacked in the third quarter by a group of defenders including the Colts'
Gino Marchetti
. Some thought that Marchetti, who was playing in his tenth Pro Bowl,
[1]
was trying to teach Ryan a lesson for considering running up the score against the Colts in the championship game. Marchetti denied this, and he and Ryan remained on good terms.

This was also the final Pro Bowl game to be televised by
NBC
before the
AFL-NFL merger
in
1970
.
