 '64 trade brought Sonny days for Redskins - The Washington Times: Sports   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)

Oddly, Jurgensen passed for 106 fewer yards than Snead had the previous season, although his completion percentage was higher (55 to 49) and TD/interception ratio much better (24/13 to 13/27).
