Bad Cowboy day: Aikman goes down, Redskins stun Dallas, 27-23

Associated Press
First, Troy Aikman left the game and
then the Cowboys fell apart.
The Redskins, sensing a vulnerabil-
ity in their most hated rival, responded
with a performance full of gritty second
effort Sunday and held off a late rally
for a 27-23 victory over previously un-
beaten Dallas.
The Cowboys became stunningly
mortal in all phases of the game after
Aikman left with a strained calf on the
Cowboys' first possession.
The Redskins' (2-3) defense put eight
men up front and dared Wade Wilson to
pass, and the 36-year-old backup didn't
find his rhythm until it was too late.
Emmitt Smith failed to rush for 100
yards for the first time this season, and
the Dallas offensive line allowed two
sacks, as many as it had given up previ-
ously all season.
The Cowboys' defense was pushed
aside by a patchwork Redskins' offen-
sive line, weakened by injuries to Jim
Lachey and Tre Johnson. Terry Allen's
1-yard run in the third quarter that made
it, 27-10, was the first rushing touch-
down against Dallas this season.
Many of Allen's 121 yards -on 30
carries - came on second and third
efforts. Suddenly, his moves looked
like Smith's, and quarterback Gus
Frerotte's connections with receiver
Michael Westbrook had the look of
Aikman-to-Michael Irvin as the
Redskins picked on cornerback Clayton
Holmes.
Buccaneers 20, Panthers 13
Casey Weldoncrashed Kerry Collins'
coming-out party Sunday.
Weldon replaced injured Tampa Bay
quarterback Trent Dilfer and led the
Buccaneers to a 20-13 victory that kept
the expansion Ca-rolina Panthers
winless.
Collins, the Panthers' first-ever draft
choice, made his first start at quarter-
back, and completed 18 of33 passes for
233 yards. He had one scoring pass and

enough to keep the miscue-plagued
Panthers from dropping to 0-4.
The Panthers, who had seven turn-
overs in losing to St. Louis in their last
game, turned it over four times inside
the Tampa Bay 35-yard line.
The Buccaneers (3-2) did not wrap it
up until Toddrick McIntosh pressured
Collins into dumping offan incomplete
pass on fourth down from the Tampa
Bay 22-yard line with 1:05 to play.
Colts 21, Rams 18
Marshall Faulk finally showed his
old form, and so did the St. Louis Rams,
unbeaten no more.
Faulk rushed for a career-high 177
yards and three touchdowns Sunday as
the Indianapolis Colts handed St. Louis
its first loss of the season, 21-18.
The Colts (2-2) forced three turn-
overs from a team that hadn't commit-
ted any this season, took a 14-10 lead at
halftime and scoredthe clinching touch-
down on a 1-yard run by Faulk in the
third quarter. Faulk also had 45 yards
on five passes from Jim Harbaugh, and
his 222 total yards is the fourth highest
in team history.
His 177 rushing yards matched his
total for the first three games this sea-
son and topped his previous career high
of 143 against Houston in his first NFL
game.
Both of the Rams' touchdowns came
on passes from Chris Miller to Isaac
Bruce, including a 34-yarder and 2-
point conversion with 52 seconds to go.
The Colts then covered an onside kick
and ran out the clock for the victory.
The Rams (4-1) lost the ball twice on
pass interceptions off Miller and once
on a fumble by Mary Cook.
Seahawks 27, Broncos 10
Chris Warren had a big day and, for
the second week in a row, John Elway
couldn't rescue the Denver Broncos.
With Warren scoring three touch-
downs on short runs and Elway getting
Denver only one touchdown, the Se-
attle Seahawks beat the Broncos 27-10

Sunday.
As an enthusiastic Kingdome crowd
of 49,942 roared, Seattle (2-2) ended a
five-game losing streak against the
Broncos (2-3). It was the Seahawks'
second victory in a row.
The Seahawks, who ranked next-to-
last to New Orleans in the NFL in total
defense going into Sunday, gave up a
26-yard Elway-to-Mike Pritchard scor-
ing pass with 7:48 left.
But Elway, whose Broncos lost, 17-
6, in San Diego last week, couldn't
catch the Seahawks after Warren scored
on a 4-yard run with 4:10 gone in the
fourth quarter for a 24-3 Seattle lead.
Chiefs 24, Cardinals 3
The two touchdown passes Steve
Bono threw Sunday were not a surprise
- even the one to third-string lineman
Joe Valerio. However, his 76-yard
touchdown run can qualify as a shocker.
After a fake handoff to Marcus Allen
fooled the Arizona defense, Bono took
off on the longest scoring run by a
quarterback in NFL history, a touch-
down that started the Kansas City Chiefs
on their way to a 24-3 victory.
The slow-footed Bono circled to his
right while Allen was being wrestled
down and ran, in apparent disbelief,
untouched along the sideline while line-
man Valerio waved him on.
Later in the second quarter, it was
Valerio's turn to score. Bono hit him
with a 1-yard TD pass on a tackle-
eligible play to give the Chiefs (4-1) a
14-0 lead at halftime.
Bono hit Lake Dawson with a 14-
yard scoring pass in the third quarter,
and the Chiefs went ahead 24-0 on Lin
Elliott's 28-yard field goal later in the
quarter.
49ers 20, Giants 6
The New York Giants had nowhere
to run against the San Francisco 49ers,
and when they tried to anyway, it hurt.
The 49ers kept Rodney Hampton
bottled up before driving him out with
a hand injury even as they kept the
pressure on Dave Brown, holding the
Giants without a touchdown in a 20-6
victory Sunday.
Steve Young led four scoring drives,
and the 49ers (4-1) rebounded from
their Monday night upset at Detroit in
the first meeting with the Giants (1-4)
since San Francisco's 44-3 playoff vic-
tory in January 1994.
Hampton, coming off a four-touch-
down, 149-yard performance in New
York's 45-29 win over New Orleans
last week, was held to 27 yards on 11
carries before breaking a bone in his
right hand.
He left late in the third quarter after
recovering a wayward pitch from
3rown. Hampton had 12 yards rushing
on seven carries in the Giants' playoff
loss to San Francisco two seasons ago.
Young was 26-of-40 for 202 yards and
one TD with no interceptions.
Steelers 31, Chargers 16
The Pittsburgh Steelers bolted to a

25-point first-half lead that even San
Diego couldn't rally from to beat the
Chargers, 31-16, Sunday in a rematch
of the AFC championship game.
Willie Williams and Alvoid Mays
each had interception returns for touch-
downs in the first 13 1/2 minutes and
the Steelers, ruined by turnovers in suc-
cessive losses to Miami and Minnesota,
returned to their attacking defensive
style to force errors rather than make
them.
Erric Pegram restored the run to
Pittsburgh's previously bumbling of-
fense with 95 yards in his first Steelers'
start. And Mike Tomczak, despite not
throwing for any touchdowns, was in-
tercepted only once after committing
six turnovers the previous two weeks.
Stan Humphries was flustered this
time by Pittsburgh's constant pressure
and threw a career-high four intercep-
tions. Williams made his first two ca-
reer interceptions, including a mean-
dering 63-yard touchdown return with
6:10 left in the first quarter to put Pitts-
burgh up 14-0.
Mays followed with a 32-yard scor-
ing return that made it 21-0. He also
finished with two interceptions.
Raiders 47, Jets 10
It was a gorgeous evening for foot-
ball. Too bad only one team showed up.
The Oakland Raiders never were
tested Sunday night by the New York
Jets as Jeff Hostetler threw for four
touchdowns, three in the first half, in a
47-10 rout. The Raiders (4-1) built a
31-3 halftime edge over their inept hosts.
Hostetler picked apart a Jets' defense
ravaged by injuries. His main victim
was rookie cornerback Vance Joseph.
Tim Brown and Daryl Hobbs each beat
Joseph for scores in the final 2 1/2
minutes of the second quarter.
Brown caught a 12-yard pass to get
.things started and also had receptions
of 17, 14, 11 and another of 17 for a
touchdown. He wound up with eight
catches for 156 yards.
Hostetler, who was 14-for-23 for 261
yards, also had TD passes of two yards
to Andrew Glover and six to Hobbs in
the opening 30 minutes. Harvey Will-
iams ran for an 8-yard score.
The victory was Oakland's 10th in
the last 11 meetings with the Jets (1-4).
Dolphins 26, Bengals 23
The Shula vs. Shula sequel had a lot
more drama but the same ending: Dad
Don hugged son David at midfield and
walked off a winner.
Dan Marino threw a 16-yard touch-
down pass to O.J. McDuffie with 1:03
left Sunday, keeping the Don Shula's
Miami Dolphins unbeaten with a 26-23
victory overDave's Cincinnati Bengals.
Cincinnati (2-3) wasted a chance to
tie in the closing seconds when Doug
Pelfrey's 45-yard field-goal attempt
drifted a few feet wide left.
Miami is 4-0 for the fifth time in club
history and the first since 1992.
The two quarterbacks made sure the

second father-son coaching match-up
in NFL history eclipsed the original for
excitement. The Dolphins simply
ground out a routine 23-7 win last year.
Jeff Blake kept Cincinnati in it until
the end by throwing three touchdown
passes to Carl Pickens, the last a 10-
yarder with 3:39 left for a 23-19 lead.
Blake completed 18 of 34 overall for
213 yards.
Falcons 30, Patriots 17
Morten Andersen's dependable kick-
ing gave Atlanta an offensive boost
after Scott Zolak finally got New En-
gland into the end zone.
Andersen kicked two of his five field
goals in the final 9:42 to break a tie and
give the Falcons a 30-17 victory over
the New England Patriots Sunday.
Zolak, filling in for the injured Drew
Bledsoe, engineeredthe firsttouchdown
drives for the Patriots (1-3) since the
season opener and got the team's first
touchdown pass this year, a 2-yarder to
Sam Gash.
The Falcons (4-1) won their third in
arow,taking a20-17leadon Andersen's
32-yard field goal with 9:42 to play,
capping a 77-yard drive that appeared
to have begun with a New England
touchdown.
Maurice Hurst intercepted Jeff
George's pass and returned it 17 yards
to the end zone, but Hurst was called for
interference on the play, bumping into
intended receiver J.J. Birden while

making the catch.
Jaguars 17, Oilers 16
After spending most of the game pay
ing for their own mistakes, the expan
sion Jacksonville Jaguars didtwothing
right and ended up celebrating their
first victory.
Desmond Howard caught a 15-yard
touchdown pass from backup Mark
Brunell with 1:03 to play and Mike
Hollis added the winning extra point
for a 17-16 victory Sunday.
Against the team that gave them their
first franchise loss, the Jaguars (1-4)
got their big break with 2:27 left when
safety Darren Carrington recovered
fumble by Houston's Rodney Thomas
at the Oilers 45.
Brunell, who entered the game with
12:56 remaining, completed four
straight passes, includingthe winner to
Howard, a former Heisman Trophy
winner discarded by the Washington
Redskins.
The Oilers, who scored 13 points off
Jacksonville miscues, had one more
chance, but Al Del Greco's 52-yard
field goal attempt was wide left as time
expired.
Houston (2-3) fell behind, 10-0, only
8:30 into the game but Del Greco kicked
a 29-yard field goal. A fumble by James
Stewart and recovery by Glen Mont-
gomery preceded Del Greco's second
field goal, a 53-yarder with four sec-
onds remaining in the first half.
