Bears fear big play, Dickerson LAKE FOREST. 111. (AP) — Mike Singletary rated the Chicago Hears performance an eight on a scale of 10 against the New York Giants, but says they'll have to do better against the Los Angeles Kams. "No ifs, ands or huts about it,” said the Hears' all-pro middle linebacker. "We did a good job overall against the Giants, but the Kams will be fired up. "We’ll have to play the best game v.e've played all year.” It’s hard to imagine the'Hears playing much better than they did last Sunday, when they eliminated the Giants 21-0 in the National Football Conference semifinals.

(AP) — Although they may find the go ing rough, two National Foot ball League history-making run ners will be showcased Sunday when the Los Angeles Rams and the Bears collide in Chicago. The Bears are led by Walter Payton, the league's all-time leading career rusher who shows no sign of slowing despite being in his 11th NFL campaign. The Rams feature Eric Dicker son. whose first three seasons in the NFL have been unparalleled. Rams Coach John Robinson, asked to compare Payton and Dickerson, said: “To me, Walter Payton epitomizes com petitiveness. He’s to football what Pete Rose is to baseball. The dynamic energy Payton br ings to a game is fascinating to watch. “He’s not as big as Eric (Payton’s 5-foot-ll, 202 pounds; Dickerson is 6-3, 218), but they both physically attack tackiers. Payton has that quick, side-to-side ability, while Eric tends to go right by you,” the Rams coach said. "1 think it’s been great for Eric to watch Payfon, to be com pared to him. It makes him say, ‘Wow, if l‘m in a class with that guy, I’ve gotta really be a runner.” Payton last year shattered the career rushing mark held by Jim Brown, and ran his record total to 14,680 yards with 1,551 this season. Dickerson set an NFL rookie rushing record of 1,808 yards in 1983, then obliterated O.J. Simpson's NFL single-season rushing record by gaining 2,105 yards in 1984.
