INCINNATI (UPI) — The incinnati Bengals’ main prob- m is they can’t schedule the ouston Oilers often enough, wo weeks ago, Cincinnati uted Houston 55-14. On Sun- y, the Bengals whipped the ilers again, this time 38-10. It louldhave been worse, but Cin- nnati sat on the ball the entire tone! half and didn’t score. I The Cincinnali-Houston Ivo-game total: Bengals 93, Oil- ieis 24. “We were completely outclas- :d, completely outplayed and mpleted humiliated in both mes,” said Houston coach hack Studley. “Cincinnati is oroughly a better football am in every respect — they’re st too good for us.” After the blowout two weeks o, Cincinnati coach Forrest regg was worried about notional flip-flop Sunday. “I never thought this would ppen twice in a row,” said [regg. “But, you never know.” The game was decided by Iftime, when Cincinnati built einDt-fe 18-3 lead. NovJL “In the second half, we sat on icball,” said Gregg. “It was no essing matter with that big :ad.” immoiis >aceill)i| d Satin- VayW 1. Lead- with 21 ;e bid m feekenil die LSI' d chat S'CAA's , 15-12 he Bengals built their gigan- [tic first half lead thanks to Ken lAnderson’s passing and Fete Johnson’s running. 1 Anderson fired three touch down passes the first half and phfison ran for a pair of touch- mvns. Johnson, a 270-pound fullback, also enjoyed the second best rushing day of his career — piling up 137 yards in 30 carries. “I felt better this week than I ever have this year,” said John son, who has been steadily re building his strength and repu tation after sitting out the first four games of the year on sus pension. “The Oiler linemen were tell ing me, ‘Pete, come this way,”’ chuckled Johnson. “That hap pens to me a lot and it’s a chal lenge for me.” Cincinnati, 5-7, has won four of its last five games while Hous ton, 1-11, has lost 18 of its last 19. Anderson, who completed 10-of-15 passes for 177 yards, threw touchdown strikes of 45 yards to Cris Collinsworth and 16 yards and 1 yard to Dan Ross. Johnson, who got his 137 yards on 30 carries, scored on runs of 12 and 10 yards in the first half. Johnson’s only better rushing day was 160 yards in 1978 against Cleveland. Jim B reech completed Cin cinnati’s scoring with a 26-yard field goal. The only scores Houston man aged were a 14-yard pass from Oliver Luck to Walt Arnold in the final quarter and a 34-yard field goal by Florian Kempf in the opening period. Cincinnati took advantage of back-to-back Houston pass in terference penalties to jump to a 7-0 lead just two minutes into the game. Interference calls of 47 yards against Steve Brown and four yards against Gregg Bing ham set up a 16-yard TD pass from Anderson to Ross. The Oilers then made the score 7-3 midway through the opening period on a 34-yard field goal by Kempf. Cincinnati scored 10 points in less than three minutes late in the first period to hike its lead to 17-3. United Press International NEW ORLEANS — It has been three years since Monday night football came to the Louisiana Superdome and after that less-than-memorable even- ing there were those who thought it might never return. On the Monday night before Thanksgiving in 1980, the New Orleans Saints fell about as low as a team can fall. The Los Angeles Rams beat the Saints on that occasion, 27-7, in a game that was nowhere near as close as the score indicated. It was the 1 1th consecutive loss for New Orleans and it came at the height of the “Aints” craze, in which scores of fans showed up with paper bags over their heads and booed their lungs out. The next morning New Orleans fired coach Dick Nolan and the next night, apparently in keeping with the spirt of the times, Roberto Duran said “no mas” to Sugar Ray Leonard in the same stadium. The Super- dome had never housed so much futility in such a short period of time. “At the end of the 1980 sea son I was ready to say the hell with it,” said defensive lineman Derland Moore, who has spent all 1 1 of his NFL years with the Saints. “It was more than I could take. I thought that digging a ditch would beat going out and having people laugh at me and being ashamed of being called a New Orleans Saint.” But a month after the 1980 season ended coach Bum Phil lips came to New Orleans and things have become steadily brighter ever since. That brightness will be dis played Monday evening when the Saints, trying for their first winning season ever and bat tling for a playoff berth as well, host the New York Jets. New Orleans will be trying for its first win on Monday night, the Saints being the only team in the league • not to have at least one Monday night victory. **« » * Ki The Saints (6-5) entered the N weekend one game behind Los Angeles and San Francisco in the race for the NFG West crown A while the Jets have unexpectedly > struggled and with a 4-7 record “ have only the faintest of hopes •;£ that their season can be salvaged to the point of making the play- ;•* offs.
