the wrong people

Diego 28-17, are trying to move out of their own
territory, chew up some time and get another
score to put Sunday's game away But on third
down at his own 21-yard line. Terry Bradshaw
throws an ill-advised pass toward Lynn Swann
which cornerback Jeff Allen picks off Five
plays later, Dan Fouts throws the first of his two
touchdown passes to Kellen Winslow that beat
the Steelers 31-28
— The Cincinnati Bengals, leading New York
14-10, are on the Jets 10-yard line in the
second quarter Sunday Then cornerback
Johnny Lynn steps in front of Cris Collinsworth
at the goal line and grabs the ball, the first of
his two interceptions of Ken Anderson passes
The Jets turn each interception into a touch
down — and get a third TD when safety Darrol
Ray returns another interception a playoff
record 98 yards — in their 44-17 rout of the
Bengals It turned the whole game around, no
question." Ray says of Lynn's first theft

yards for the touchdown that puts the Cow
boys in front to stay They win 30-17. "Hunter s
interception gave us the breathing room we
needed. Dallas Coach Tom Landry says
— The Detroit Lions, having blown their first
sconng opportunity when Billy Sims fumbles at
Washington's 19-yard line, are on the move
again, thanks to Eric Hippie's passes to wide
receiver Leonard Thompson Then Hippie
looks for Sims on a pass route, cornerback
Jeris White slips between them, grabs the ball,
luggles it for a moment and races 77 yards for
the touchdown that starts the Redskins on
their way to Saturday's 31-7 romp It was like a
mirage. White says You see it. but you don't
really believe it."

21-3, are trying to get within striking distance
of Green Bay. when safety Mark Murphy
intercepts a Neil Lomax pass and returns the
ball 22 yards to the St Louis 12-yard line.
