be and people to see Like the 49ers in San Francisco maybe Or better still the New York Giants same time same place But this time the Dallas Cowboys brought the bludgeons not the briefcases This time they went for the throat not the slow boat The schedule said Saturday but as the sun set on stunningly thorough 380 mugging of Tampa Bay Cowboy tight end Jay Saldi noticed a familiar scent about the January air "Doomsday has Saldi said sniffing the Texas Stadium scene it come at a better This time you see a date to be kept a Sunday rendezvous the Cowboys have made so many times before is where we were a year said running back Tony Dorsett his mind set on redemption were one game away from the Super Bowl if this team is as hungry as I think it is going to be hard this time to keep us Having earned their spot in their 11th NFC championship game the Cowboys now await the outcome of other second-round playoff battle between the 49ers and Giants Should the underdog Giants win Dallas will host the conference title game next Sunday Should the 49ers triumph the Cowboys head for San Francisco be nice to get New York down linebacker Lewis said echoing most of his teammates I think San Francisco is going to beat But that said Lewis is next business Another Sunday Another Doomsday For Tampa Bay one judgment day had been enough The grim reapers here were Ed ones and Randy White Harvey Martin and John Dutton Dennis Thurman and the half-dozen other Cowboy defenders who have turned bane into blessing With Jones White Martin and Dutton persistently sniping at Tampa Bay quarterback Doug heels and Danny punting backing the NFC Central champs into a fatal corner the Bucs found their grave dug early Tampa first six possessions started at its own 21 20 8 20 8 and 19-yard lines Their lone first-half push into Dallas territory fizzled into a backward-moving fourth-and-39 By the third end the Bucs had only 126 total yards in offense and had run only seven plays past midfield Worse still amidst a shroud of Jones arms and Dutton paws Buc quarterback Williams was a desperate 4-of-21 passing on his way to 10-of-29 with four interceptions four sacks and two Jones and Martin-provoked intentional groundings That the hosts were only up by 10-0 was a tribute to Buc defense quarterback Danny flu-weary slow start and a season-long Cowboy penchant for self-destructing inside the enemy

Chargers a 41-38 win over the Miami Dolphins Saturday in one of the classic playoff games in National Football League history It was indeed the highest scoring playoff game in history one which produced 1030 yards in total offense and 101 passes for 850 yards For four hours and three minutes theChargers and Dolphins battled through emotional peaks and valleys and piled incongruity upon incongruity The biggest surprise of them all the most massive of the incongruities was that the Chargers had to come from behind to win They led 244) in the first period when there was little to suggest the trauma and drama that would unfold Yet the Chargers had to rally in the final minute to score a touchdown to get into the overtime period And they got that opportunity only after Louie Kelcher stripped Andra Franklin of the ball at the Charger 18 as the Dolphins were driving for a field goal or touchdown that likely would have put the game out of reach with 4 Ms minutes to play

superlatives Return of the IRVING After John face turned the color of an old gravestone and after his team was hit with 38 points four sacks four interceptions 105 penalty yards and the possibility of a class action suit for impersonating a playoff team there was a strong inclination to label this one They call Last Stand just another prairie scrimmage They call the Day That Will Live In Infamy just another air raid This one deserved more than simply Dallas 38 Doomsday Or Doomsday II starring Randy White as Bob Lilly and a cast of a thousand pass rushers Or it was The Day the Texas Stadium Earth Shook Or The Day that Too Tall Ate Tampa Or you might think of it as the Most Dead Solid Perfect Game an NFL Tampa Bay 0 It was more than an Team Can Play (starring the Cowboys early knockout more than a defen- as perfect and the Buccaneers as sive riot more than just another day Dead) There is no word in comat the office for Ed Jones puterese for perfect Tom Landry It was perhaps The Return of nodded in the aftermath no such cre ation as The Perfect Game But this one was close maybe an Eight or Eight Point Five It was savage and completely destructive the most destructive playoff game ever registered on the Richter scale of Cowboy playoff games A return of the old Doomsday or at least offspring?
