NFL game summary for 10/12/1975:

Despite taking a 14-0 lead in the first 1:05 on Steve Odom's 93-yard touchdown return of the opening kickoff and defensive tackle Mike McCoy's fumble recovery and 19-yard run into the end zone, the Packers fell to their fourth straight defeat -- the first time Green Bay has lost its first four games -- as New Orleans, on its own 26-yard line with 1:05 left, drove to the Packers' 3 and rookie Rich Szaro kicked a 20-yard field goal as time elapsed. It was the Saints' first victory.
