Slit, after remaining off the field abrief time in the fourth quarter, in decided to return and was the sidelines for the remainder of Ine. |dry, the only coach the team has had in 27 years, returned to the field wearing what appeared to be a protective vest underneath his sweater. The Rams, 10-4, could clinch their second consecutive NFC West title with a victory over Miami next Sunday. The Cowboys, losers of three straight and five of their last six, fell to 7-7 and saw their faint hopes for the playoffs grow even slimmer. Everett helped stake the Rams to a 20-10 halftime lead, connecting on 10 of 18 throws for 182 yards, in cluding a 22-yard touchdown pass to Henry Ellard. The rookie quarterback out of Purdue also marched the Rams 82 yards in the closing moments of the first half in a drive that was capped by Mike Lansford’s 27-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining. The Rams took a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter when cor- nerback LeRoy Irvin intercepted a pass by Steve Pelluer and ran 50 yards for a touchdown. The Cowboys tied it later in the quarter on Timmy Newsome’s 5- yard scoring run. Lansford put Los Angeles up 10-7 with a 37-yard field goal early in the second quarter, then the Cowboys’ Rafael Septien knotted the game again with a 48-yarder, his longest of the season. Everett threw the scoring pass to Ellard 4:53 before halftime, then guided the Rams down to Lansford’s field goal in the closing seconds of the half. The Rams padded their lead to 22-10 in the third quarter, when de fensive end Gary Jeter sacked Pel luer in the Cowboys’ end zone. A 41- yard touchdown run by Barry Red den in the fourth quarter capped the Rams’ scoring. Eric Dickerson gained 106 yards on 28 carries to run his 1986 rushing total to 1,629 yards. While that keeps him far ahead in the league rushing derby this season, it leaves him 163 yards behind his 14-game total of 1,792 in 1984, when he set the NFL rushing mark of 2,105 yards. uts leads San Diego past Houston iAN DIEGO (AP) — Quarterback BFouts became the third quar- llk in NFL history to pass for J) yards in his career, and the i Diego Chargers recorded their stshutout in six years in a 27-0 vic- I^Sunday over the Oilers. |he 14-year veteran went past the J)-yard mark with a 22-yard Hetion to Trumaine Johnson {gin the third period and left the me after the Chargers’ final score |way through the final period.

He threw a 4-yard scoring pass to tight end Kellen Winslow on a halfback option with 8:25 left to play. The Chargers’ final scoring drive was set up when Houston quar terback Oliver Luck was intercepted a second time and San Diego de fensive back returned the ball 30 yards to the Oiler 49. San Diego defenders recorded six quarterback sacks and held the Oil ers to 134 yards in total offense in registering their first shutout since a 35-0 victory over New Orleans on Dec. 9, 1979. It was the seventh time in their last eight games that the Chargers held an opponent to less than 300 yards in total offense. San Diego scored two second- quarter touchdowns within 20 sec onds of each other off of Houston turnovers and added a field goal to grab a 17-0 halftime lead. San Diego defensive back Jeff Dale’s interception of a Luck pass and 24-yard return gave the Charg ers the ball at the Houston 23. Two running plays advanced the ball to the Houston 1 before fullback Tim Spencer bolted over the goal line for the game’s first score with 1:39 elapsed in the second period. On the ensuing kickoff, which was short, the ball was mishandled by Houston reserve defensive end Lynn Madsen with San Diego line backer Angelo Snipes recovering at the Houston 31. San Diego immediately built its lead to 14-0. Fouts threw 31 yards to Anderson for a touchdown on the first play after the fumble by Mad sen.
