Theismann-Garrett duo light it up for Washington WASHINGTON (AP) Joe Theismann's three scoring passes to Alvin Garrett and cornerback Jeris White's 77-yard dash for a touchdown on the second-longest interception return in playoff history carried the Washington Redskins to a 31-7 victory Saturday over the mistake-prone Detroit Lions. Twice in the second period Theismann and the 5-foot-7, 178-pound Garrett teamed to burn 5-11 right cornerback Bruce McNorton for 21-yard touchdown passes en route to a 24-0 halftime lead. Then, with the first possession of the third quarter, Theismann and Garrett stung left corner Bobby Watkins on a 27-yard scoring strike. Garrett, replacing injured Art Monk, became the 13th player in National Football League history to score three touchdowns in a playoff game and the sixth to catch three TD passes. The Redskins, 8-1 during the strike-shortened regular season, advanced to the second round by eliminating Detroit, at 4-5 the National Conference's only team in the playoffs.

The 31 points were the most ever scored by the Redskins in postseason play. Theismann completed 14 of 19 attempts for 210 yards against the Lions' defense, 10th against the pass in the NFC. Garrett caught six of the passes for 110 yards. Detroit's rushing defense was the conference's best, but John Riggins of the 'Skins bulled through it for 119 yards in 25 carries. In a season marked by no-shows far above the norm, the Redskins sold out RFK Stadium, and every one of the seats was filled.

The Lions, who had not scored in a playoff game since 1957 (they were shut out 5-0 by Dallas in 1970), turned the ball over on their first three possessions and four of their first five. They finally got on the Scoreboard midway in the third period on Eric Hippie's 15-yard touchdovvn pass to tight end David Hill. Detroit repeatedly drove deep into Washington territory in the first half, but two fumbles by halfback Billy Sims killed scoring threats and White's interception put the Redskins on the board 8:01 into the game. He stepped in front of a pass by Hippie pass intended for Sims on the right sideline at the Redskins' 23-yard line. White juggled it once, gained control and ran unhindered, beating Hippie to the Detroit end zone by 10 yards.

The 77-yard interception return was exceeded in playoff history only by Walt Simmer's 88-yard sprint for Cleveland against Dallas in 1969. White also intercepted Hippie in the Washington end zone early in the fourth quarter to kill one of many Detroit scoring threats. Mark Moseley's 26-yard field goal late in the first period made it 10-0, then Theismann and Garrett began their personal assault on the Detroit secondary.
