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. They
registered six.quarterback sacks and held the Giants to a net
181 yards while limiting running bacfk |oe Morris — sidelin

Two greats to clash Sunday
ANAHEIM, Calif. (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.
Last Saturday, Dickerson also
turned in the best playoff per
foimance in NFL history,
