THE JOURNAL HERALD Daytoo, ONo Sept. 30, 1985 Cleveland outruns San Diego af fer Fouts injures knee Marino's quick hand too much for Denver '-at ijpKK. I My 1 f. ers. Fouts, who was scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery Sunday night, went down on San Diego's ensuing series with 7:06 remaining in the first quarter.

The Chargers appeared demoralized after losing Fouts and were unable to regroup under backup quarterback Mark Herrmann. "When Dan went down, everything fell out," Bendross said. "Let's hope next week we can get it together." Fouts, 34, has thrown for more yards and touchdowns than any active player. Before the injury, he was 5 of 8 for 82 yards, with one touchdown. In the three previous games, Fouts completed 70-115 throws for 1,002 yards and nine touchdowns.

He is expected to be sidelined three to six weeks. Danielson finished the day with 16 pass completions in 24 attempts for 170 yards. Byner rushed for 83 yards on 14 carries. In addition to game-high rushing honors, Mack caught seven passes for 49 yards. Weathers had four receptions for 88 yards.

Herrmann, acquired by San Diego in an off-season deal with Indianapolis, completed 16 of 23 throws for 178 yards but was intercepted twice. The Cleveland defense harried the San Diego quarterbacks throughout the day, recording six sacks, including three by defensive lineman Reggie Camp. Browns defenders also shut down San Diego's running game, giving up 56 yards on the ground. Cleveland, meanwhile, amassed 275 yards rushing against a porous San Diego defense, which was rated last in the league going into Sunday's game. Lionel James led San Diego receivers with 10 receptions, good for 68 yards.

Bendross had two receptions for 77 yards. Fran AueciaM Prtn They came to Mile High Stadium to bury Dan Marino. In fact, they sacked him three times the first such incidents this season. But the Denver Bronco defense came away praising the Miami quarterback, who passed for three touchdowns Sunday while leading his Dolphins to a 30-26 victory. Marino despite the loss of his best receiver, Mark Clayton, to a sprained ankle early in the third quarter completed 25 of 43 passes for 390 yards as the Dolphins raised their record to 3-1 and dropped the Broncos to 2-2.

"I thought we were successful putting pressure on him, but there's no question he has the quickest release I've seen," said Denver defensive end Rulon Jones. "A couple of times I got past my guy quickly and he still got it off." Linebacker Steve Busick said the Broncos "made Marino throw some passes early, but he made the big plays." Perhaps the biggest play was a Marino pass to Clayton's backup, Dayton native Vince Heflin, late in the third quarter. The seldom-used Heflin, a Wayne High School and Central State College product, spun away from two defenders and dashed into the end zone to complete a 46-yard scoring play and give Miami the lead for good at 27-23. The teams then traded fourth-quarter field goals. Mimi 7 13 7 Denver 7 10 1 1-26 First Peried Dm Lang 10 run (Kami kick), 12:41 Mil Moore 69 pass from Marino (Revei! kick), It.

Denver, Winder 20-103, Elwav 4-32, Lang 4-10, V. Johnson SAN DIEGO (AP) A knee injury to quarterback Dan Fouts deflated San Diego's high-flying offense and opened the door Sunday for Cleveland's 21-7 win over the Chargers. Fullback Kevin Mack ran for one score and caught one of two Gary Dan-ielson touchdown passes as the Browns rolled for 21 unanswered points following the first-period injury to Fouts, who suffered torn ligaments in his right knee. "We knew they were not the same team without Fouts," said Cleveland -linebacker Eddie Johnson, who put the hit on Fouts that led to the quarterback's departure. "The blitz was designed for me," Johnson said.

"I rushed right in the gap between the center and guard. I hope Fouts' Injury isn't too serious and I wish him all the best. The game of football needs Dan Fouts." Cleveland improved its record to 2-2, while San Diego fell to 2-2. Mack's 10-yard scoring run early in the second period knotted the score at 7-7, and the Browns went ahead for good on Danielson's 11-yard touchdown pass to Earnest Byner midway through the third period. Danielson's sidearm toss to Byner for the score came while the Cleveland quarterback was falling backwards and under heavy pressure from the Chargers rush.

"I didn't have time to think. Sometimes you try things you shouldn't try," Danielson said of the pass which hung momentarily before Byner grabbed it. "I was trying to throw it sidearm but I was falling down faster than I thought I was." Two plays earlier, Danielson had completed a 48-yard pass to wide receiver Clarence Weathers to put the ball at the Charger 13. The Browns added an insurance score with 2:34 gone in the final period on Mack's second touchdown, a 10-yard pass from Danielson. Mack carried 1 6 times for 1 30 yards.

A 13-year pro, Fouts is expected to be sidelined for a minimum of three weeks, perhaps longer depending on the extent of the ligament damage, Charger officials said. It's the third time in three years Fouts' career has been Interrupted by injuries which caused him to miss nine games over the last two years. Fouts, a five-time Pro Bowl selection and the main man in San Diego's vaunted aerial attack, accounted for the Chargers only score, hitting Jesse Ben-dross with a 54-yard scoring strike on San Diego's first possession.

MISSED FIELD GOALS New Orleans, Andersen 19. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Dave Wilson outperformed San Francisco's Joe Montana, and the New Orleans Saints' patched-up offensive line dealt the 49ers' defense a lot of frustration Sunday in upsetting the 49ers. "This is the biggest win we've had in a long time.

It was a great birthday present," said Coach Bum Phillips, whose Saints presented him a 20-17 victory over the Super Bowl champion 49ers on his 62nd birthday. Wilson's 43-yard touchdown pass to Eugene Goodlow early in the fourth quarter was the score that stood up for victory. The New Orleans' quarterback passed for 189 yards and was sacked just once, while Montana had perhaps the roughest day of his National Football League career. "It's not bad for a makeshift line," tackle Ralph Williams said. "But I don't consider us a makeshift line.

We're all professionals. We wouldn't be here if we weren't. "It's an awfully sweet victory," he added. The Saints lost three offensive line starters with injuries a week earlier. Their starters Sunday included left guard Pete Perot, signed last Monday as a free agent.

"I can't give them enough credit for the Job they did," Wilson said. San Francisco Coach Bill Walsh admitted, "We certainly felt we could deal with their line.

We know what we have to do." Among the things Woodruff and the Steelers' secondary must do is contain two of the NFL's top pass receiving threats in veteran Crls Colllnsworth and rookie Eddie Brown.

They gave the San Diego secondary fits last week in the Chargers' 44-41 victory, with Collinsworth catching 10 passes for 161 yards. Bengals Coach Sam Wyche has not yet officially named his starting quarterback, but former Maryland star Boomer Eslason almost assuredly will get the nod after completing 26 of 44 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns last week against the Chargers. Collinsworth said the contest the third In three seasons for the two division rivals on Monday night football has nearly become a statisticians come up with some kind of wacky numbers. I was disappointed on missing the last attempt. I just kicked underneath It." Steelers Coach Chuck Noll hardly has been kicking himself for picking up Anderson off the waiver wire at the end of training camp in 1982.

After being cut by the Buffalo Bills, Anderson has been the mark of consistency for the Steelers. Anderson has been the AFC's leading scorer the last two seasons, kicking for 117 points in 1984, and at his present pace will become the most accurate field goal kicker in National Football League history. His career percentage of .813 (61 of 75) entering the 1985 season was the highest of any active NFL kicker. He closed the 1984 season by making 16 of his last 18 attempts, and is three of five this PITTSBURGH (AP) If the Pittsburgh Steelers get a leg up on the Cincinnati Bengals Monday night, the leg probably will be supplied by kicker Gary Anderson. Anderson Isn't perfect, but you might not be able to convince the Bengals, Houston Oilers and Cleveland Browns of that especially the last two seasons.

When the fourth-year kicker from Syracuse University missed a 40-yard attempt against the Houston Oilers last week, It was his first botched field goal in 23 attempts against AFC Central Division opponents. Anderson has been at his best when the Steelers have needed to be, against the teams In their own division. Anderson professed Ignorance when informed of the streak's end. "I just go out and kick," Anderson said. "The season, including a 51-yard miss against the Indianapolis Colts.

"He has been very consistent, which is all you can ask of your kicker," Noll said. Of course, Noll hopes he doesn't have to trot the former South African soccer star onto the Three Rivers Stadium artificial turf too many times Monday night. The Steelers, 2-1, struggled offensively two weeks ago in a 17-7 Monday night loss to the Cleveland Browns before righting themselves In a 20-0 victory over the Oilers. A victory over the Bengals, 0-3, not only would give the Steelers a healthy start toward defending their division championship, but give them a 2-1 record In their first head-to-head meetings against their division rivals. "This Is a like a three-game series," said must game for Cincinnati.

Last season, the Bengals won eight of their last 1 1 games, but didn't win the division title because of their 0-5 start. "The ol' oddsmakers are going to tell us we will be 0-4 after this game because the Steelers are so tough," Collinsworth said. "We've put ourselves in the corner now where we have to beat them twice. We've got to beat them In their place Monday night, which Is about as tough an assignment as you can ask. I think a loss would put us too far back.

I don't think eight (victories) will win the division for us this season." The Bengals have won before In Three Rivers Stadium but only three times In 15 games. The Steelers handled the Bengals easily, 38-17, lest year In Pittsburgh as the Pittsburgh secondary intercepted five passes, returning two for touchdowns..
