Flutie was traded back to his home area by the Chicago Bears last week and he showed his appreciation by contributing 242 yards of offense to the Patriots’ 21-7 victory over the Houston Oilers. “I wasn’t nervous,” Flutie said. “I |ras excited. I couldn’t wait for the ime to start. I was thankful for the )portunity. I had been in a bad sit uation and I had no future. It was ne to move on.” Flutie got plenty of help from his new teammates. Raymond Clayborn returned a fumbled field goal 71 yards for a touchdown. ■ Linebacker Andre Tippett blocked the field goal attempt and had three quarterback sacks. | “I saw Andre block it somewhere on his chest,” Clayborn said. “After that, none of them contested it for what seemed like five seconds. I was there by the ball by myself.” B It was a disappointing finale for the replacement Oilers, who had won their first two games during the NFL players’ strike. It may have been the final game for Oiler linebacker Eugene Seale, who had eight tackles. “This was not my best game,” Seale said. “My fingers are just crossed now. I still have a long way to go because my foot’s still not in the door. “I feel good about wearing the uniform. In my room tonight, I’ll probably evaluate myself and not sleep very well.” New England Coach Raymond Berry was pleased with the offensive improvement. “Flutie was the key, he did a re markable job,” Berry said. “You can’t appreciate what he did with four days practice. I don’t think any one else could have done it and put points on the scoreboard like he did.” Oiler quarterback Brent Pease surpassed Flutie in passing yards but had to settle for the loss. “Tippett more or less controlled their side of the line,” Pease said. “We worked hard all week and we wanted to win. It’s a great opportu nity for me, probably one I’ll never get again.” Oiler Coach Jerry Glanville cred ited Tippett. “We didn’t make the defensive turnovers and Tippett made the de fensive plays for them,” Glanville said. A crowd of 26,294 saw the only replacement game played in the As trodome. There were 6,328 no- shows. Flutie, obtained in a trade with the Chicago Bears, had only five days to prepare for the game, but he scrambled and passed the Patriots to a touchdown on the first possession of the game. Flutie engineered the Patriots to a 21-7 halftime lead, aided by Clay- born’s touchdown that shifted the momentum to the Patriots with 55 seconds to go in the first half. Tippett blocked Tony Zendejas’ 48-yard field goal attempt and when Oiler defenders failed to converge on the hall, Clayborn scooped it up and ran for a touchdown with 55 seconds left in the half. The Oilers dropped to a 3-2 re cord and the Patriots now are 3-2.

He has a good future if he keeps playing like he has. He’s been just great. Now let’s see if he can do it again.” Edwards isn’t going to get his hopes up until he hears it from Landry himself that he has made the team. “If they decide they want to keep me, I’d be glad to stay here,” Ed wards said. “I wouldn’t say I’ve earned a spot yet. I can’t say I’m on this team or anything like that. I’m working hard to be on this team. It would just be unbelievable to be a part of the tradi tion that they have here.” Offensive coordinator Paul Hack- ett said Edwards, who comes from the small college of Liberty Baptist, “really has the ability to play. “For whatever reasons, he didn’t make the quick development the Saints thought he should have. When he came into our situation, he showed immediately the skills that he can play. And we don’t care that he didn’t make it with the Saints.” Hackett said the Cowboys are careful not to put any pressure on Edwards. “We are bringing him along slow but he’s already made some big league plays with double coverage against him.” Hackett said. “He caught one ball that was over the wrong shoulder but made a com plete reverse to make the catch. We’re definitely been pleased ever since he arrived.” Edwards has teamed with rookie quarterback Kevin Sweeney as the Cowboys have put together one of the tougher teams in the strike of 1987.
