A SPORTS The Michigan Daily Monday, October 27, 1986 Page 10 Jets play winning Toon; send Saints inarching, 28-23 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Al Toon, the NFL's leading receiver, caught three touchdown passes from Ken O'Brien yesterday as the New York Jets won their sixth straight game, beating the New Orleans Saints, 28-23. New York built a 28-6 lead through three quarters and withstood New Orleans' 17-point final period to raise its record to 7-1 in the AFC East. IGNORING A persistent rain, Toon, a second-year wide receiver from Wisconsin, scored on passes of 16, 62, and six yards. His 62-yarder with 19 seconds remaining in the first half came on a good solo effort as Toon used his size and speed to score. O'Brien hit Toon on a slant-in at the New Orleans 45, where Toon shook off attempted tackles by Johnnie Poe and Brett Maxie. Toon cut across the field, was caught by Dave Waymer and eluded his hit at the Saints' 25. He then sped down the right sideline into the end zone. Toon had six catches for 101 yards, giving him 49 receptions this year. Freeman McNeil scored on a one-yard run for New York's other touchdown and the Jets defense dominated the Saints most of the way. A one-yard touchdown pass from Dave Wilson to John Tice with 10:19 remaining gave New Orleans its first touchdown, thenWilson hit Tice again with a 29-yarder with 7:23 to go. Morten Andersen kicked 26 and 53-yard field goals following fumbles by O'Brien and McNeil on New York's first two series of the game. Andersen added a 28-yarder with 2:13 left, drawing the Saints within 28-23. The six straight wins equalled a Jets club record while the Saints fell to 3-5 in the NFC West.

(AP) - Eric Dickerson continued on his record rushing pace and threw his first NFL touchdown pass, and linebacker Mark Jerue scored on a 22-yard interception return yesterday as the defense-minded Los Angeles Rams beat the Atlanta Falcons 14-7. Dickerson gained 170 yards on 30 carries to surpass the 1,000-yard mark as the Rams avenged a 26-14 loss in Atlanta two weeks ago and took over first place in the NFC West. Los Angeles is 6-2, while both the Falcons and the San Francisco 49ers are 5-2-1. Dickerson built his NFL-leading rushing yardage to 1,030 yards at the midpoint of this season, putting him ahead of his record-setting pace of 1984, when his, set the league mark with 2,105 yards. Dickerson, in his fourth pro season, had 925 yards rushing at the midway point of the 1984 campaign. After a scoreless first quarter, Jerue put the Rams ahead to stay when he picked off a pass by Atlanta's David Archer and ran untouched into the end zone 1:08 into the second period. Cowboys 37, Cards 6 IRVING, Texas (AP) - Quarterback Danny White, making his first start in a month, threw two touchdown passes and Herschel Walker rushed for 120 yards and scored twice Sunday to give the Dallas Cowboys a 37-6 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Dallas increased its record, one- half game behind Washington in the NFC, while the Cardinals dropped to 1-7. White played only in the first half, throwing a 36-yard touchdown pass to rookie Mike Sherard and a 20-yard scoring toss to Tony Hill as Dallas rolled to a 27-6 halftime lead. White aggravated a groin injury and also suffered a lacerated chin, so Dallas coach Tom Landry decided not to risk him in the first half. Walker, starting at tailback becaiuse of Tony Dorsett's bruised knee, scored on touchdown runs of 19 and four yards and got his first 100-yard rushing day in the NFL. Broncos 20, Seahawks 13 DENVER (AP) - John Elway passed for 321 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown toss to Vance Johnson on a flea-flicker play, and a grudging Denver defense yielded only a pair of field goals until the closing minutes in the Broncos' 20-13 victory over the Seattle Seahawks yesterday. Thetriumph boosted the Broncos' record to 7-1 and gave them a two-game lead in the AFC Western Division over Seattle, Kansas City and the Los Angeles Raiders, all at 5-3. The Bronco defense frustrated Seattle quarterback Dave Krieg, who completed only six of 16 passes for 26 yards and was sacked five times for 47 yards in losses. That resulted in a net passing yardage of minus-21 yards for Krieg before he left the game in the fourth quarter. It's Open Enrollment. time for employees of the University of Michigan.
