NFC East
Cowboys, Redskins vie
for playoff spot Sunday
United Press International
IRVING — As far as the NFC
East is concerned the playoffs have
already started, but when the Dallas
Cowboys and Washington Redskins
meet, it is usually like the playoffs
anyway.
Those two old rivals will gather
again Sunday at Texas Stadium in
the second half of a double header
that is overloaded with post-season
implications.
Dallas and Washington both have
9-5 records and are tied for the NFC
East lead with the New York Giants.
New York faces St. Louis (8-6) in
the first game of the divisional twin
bill and the outcome of that one will
have a heavy impact upon the Cow
boys and Redskins.
A win by New York over St. Louis
would automatically put the Dallas-
Washington winner into the playoffs
as at least a wild card entrant.
A win by St. Louis, however, could
leave the Dallas-Washington winner
with some work left to do before
wrapping up a post-season berth.
Whatever the outcome of the
early game, however, the Redskins
and Cowboys should put up a typ
ically fanatical effort.
“This should be the same kind of
game it always is,” said Washington
coach Joe Gibbs. “The attention
from the press and fans fuels it and
by the latter part of the week it has
really escalated.”
Washington has scored 108 more
E oints than has Dallas this season,
ut somehow the Cowboys have won
the same number of games as the
Redskins.
“Dallas is very much like we’ve
been,” Gibbs said. “We’ve been the
victim of injuries that have robbed
us of consistency at various times.
“We’ve gotten to about the same
place about the same way. They’ve
had bad games, we’ve had bad
games. They’ve played for a half and
we’ve played for a half.
“After our first game (in which
Washington won, 34-14) I said I’d be
willing to bet Dallas would be there
at the end and that was after we won
and played as good as we could.”
The Co
“(The Redskins) start out
so fast you have got to be
ready to stay with them. It
seems like they have had
huge leads at the half la
tely. They are a big play
team and you’ve got to try
to keep them from getting
those big plays. ”
— Dallas’ Tom Landry
most entirely on defense for most of
the season and to have a chance
against the Redskins it would appear
Dallas’ defense will have to play an
excellent game.
“(The Redskins) start out so fast
you have got to be ready to stay with
them,” said Dallas coach Tom
Landry. “It seerps like they have had
huge leads at the half lately.
“They are a great executing team.
They have basically the same team
that came together during the strike
year and has oeen to two straight Su
per Bowls. They are a big play team
and you’ve got to try to keep them
from getting those big plays.”
Eacn team has one major question
mark coming into the contest.
For Dallas it is at quarterback,
where first Gary Hogeboom and
then Danny White have taken turns
throwing interceptions.
White, who threw four intercep
tions in going the distance against
Philadelphia last week, will get the
start against the Redskins. But
Landry came close to bringing in
Hogeboom against the Eagles and
may not wait too long to do so
against Washington if his team gets
off to a poor start.
Cowboys have been living al-
For the Redskins, there is the case
of John Riggins. He has played full
time in only one of Washington’s last
four games as a result of a contin
ually tight back. Riggins is expected
to start, but the obvious question has
to do with how long he can play.
Cardinals just don't like
division leading Giants
United Press International
ST. LOUIS — Both coaches gave
the customary pre-game praise to
their opponent, but the St. Louis
Cardinals and New York Giants
players have a quite different out
look for Sunday’s crucial NFC East
contest.
“We just don’t like the Giants,”
said Cardinal guard Terry Stieve.
“The feeling is mutual,” said New
York defensive end George Martin.
“There’s no love lost between us.”
The heated rivalry may become
even hotter during the Giants visit to
Busch Memorial Stadium because of
the importance of the game to the
division standings and the NFC play
off picture.
“Both teams have a lot at stake,”
Martin said. “We don’t want to lose
and neither do they. Both teams
need momentum going into the last
game. Both teams are equally
matched so it should be a great
game.”
The Giants hold a 9-5 record and
are mired in a three-way tie with
Washington and Dallas for the NFC
East lead.
New York ends the season by en
tertaining New Orleans and victories
in their last two games would give
the Giants the division crown —their
first title of any kind since winning
the division in 1963.
The Cardinals are 8-6 and need to
win their last two games to stay alive
in the playoff chase. St. Louis, which
ends the regular season in Washing
ton, also would benefit from a
Redskin victory over the Cowboys.
Dallas, which winds up the season
in Miami against the Dolphins,
would make the playoffs for the
10th consecutive season with a vic
tory over Washington.
“It’s such a competitive division,”
said Giants Coach Bill Parcells. “It’s
going to go down to the last week of
the season.
“You want to stay involved until
the last week of the season and be
able to go down to the wire. We just
have to play good and do a good job

and let the chips fall where they
may.
Both
the Giants and Cardinals
have been playing sound defense
and that in itself could determine
the outcome of Sunday’s clash.
“Defense becomes important at
this time of year,” Parcells said.
Cardinals’ Coach Jim Hanifah
knows all about the Giants’ All-Pro
linebacker Lawrence Taylor and be
lieves some other stalwarts of the
New York defense may be over
looked.
Anderson said running backs
coach Dick Jamieson went along
with the charade when he entered
the Cardinal offices and found his
troops in camouflage clothing.
“Besides Lawrence Taylor, whom
everyone is aware of, the Giants have
two excellent defensive ends in Cur
tis McGriff and Dave Herdison,”
Hanifan said.

die is very quick and aggressive.
They have an obviously solid line
backing corps and an aggressive sec
ondary. (Bill) Currier is perhaps the
most underrated strong safety in the
league and (Terry) Kinard is like an
other inside linebacker from his free
safety spot.
“They are a fine football team and
it’s going to be a great game.”
The Giants defeated the Cardi
nals three weeks ago, 16-10. Parcells
said he could see Sunday’s game fol
lowing the same low-scoring pattern.
“I expect a tough game so I see no
reason why this week’s game won’t
be the same way,” Parcells said.
“They have guys who can run the
ball like Ottis Anderson really well.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out
you’d better be prepared.”

In last week’s trouncing of New
England, the Cardinals rushed for
220 yards, including 135 yards by
Anderson, who went over the 1,000-
yard mark for the fifth time in his six
years in the league.
Hanifan, however, does not ex
pect another 200-yard-plus perfor
mance from his rushing corps.
‘It’s unrealistic for any pro team
- - - - - ^2
to think they can run for 220 yards
against anybody in this league,” Ha-
mfan said. “We’ve had degrees of
success running against New York.
I’d like to be balanced so we can do
either run or pass and do them
good.”
The Cardinals runners appear re
ady for the physical confrontation
with Taylor and his cohorts. Ander
son and the five other backs showed
up for Wednesday’s practice wear
ing military garb.
“Everybody jumped up,” Ander
son said. “He looked us over and
then said, ‘As you were, men.’”
