Tom Dempsey kicks 1 of his 4 field goals against Detroit in 1970
Tom Dempsey kicks one of 4 field goals against the Detroit Lions in the 1970 season game. He would later kick the NFL record 63-yarder on the last play to defeat the Lions 19-17. This photo was sent to me compliments of “Wild” Bill Cody, #66 in the picture. Cody played linebacker and was one of the original Saints in 1967. Also pictured are #50 Jake Kupp, #77 Mike Taylor, Joe Scarpati, #21 is the holder and of course, #19 Tom Dempsey is the kicker. Also in the foreground is Detroit Lion Hall of Famer #71 Alex Karras.
