Elway passes Broncos into the Super Bow
DENVER (AP) — John Elway’s
third touchdown pass, a 20-
yarder to Sammy Winder with
4:01 to play, and a goal-line fum
ble by Cleveland lifted the
Denver Broncos to a 38-33 vic
tory over the Browns Sunday and
into their second straight Super
Bowl.
The Browns had rallied from
an 18-point deficit to tie the score
31-31 out fumbled away a chance
to tie it once again on the Denver
2 with about a minute left.
Elway led Denver on a 75-yard,
five-play drive, finding Winder
on a short pass.
The victory gave Denver its
third AFC championship. The
Broncos will play Washington on
Jan. 31 in the Sujper Bowl. The
Broncos lost to Dallas in 1978 and
the New York Giants last year in
previous Super Bowl appear
ances.
The last team to go to consec
utive Super Bowls was the
Redskins in 1983 and 1984.
The 75-yard drive was high
lighted by a pair of 26-yard passes
to rookie Ricky Nattiel. Denver’s
No. 1 draft pick began the drive
with a sideline catch over All-Pro
cornerback Hanford Dixon, then
sped across the middle for an
other long gain to the 20.
Winder scored on the next
play.
Cleveland then launched yet
another retaliatory drive, but it
died at the 2 when Earnest Byner
fumbled. Byner was on his way
into the end zone when he was
stripped by Jeremiah Castille,
who recovered for the Broncos
with 1:05 left.
Denver punter Mike Horan
ran out of the end zone for a
safety with eight seconds to play,
giving the Browns their final two
points.
The Browns, who trailed 21-3
at halftime and 28-10 in the third
quarter, finally tied the score on
Webster Slaughter’s 4-yard re
ception 4:12 into the fourth quar
ter.
After Rich Karlis’ 38-yard field
f oal had given the Broncos a 31
4 lead, Bernie Kosar guided the
Browns 86 yards in nine plays. A
53-yard pass play over the middle
to Byner and a 14-yard run by
Kevin Mack keyed the drive.
Earlier, Elway threw for two
touchdowns, including an 80-
yarder to Mark Jackson. T hat
third-quarter broken play was the
longest playoff touchdown in
Bronco history.
Jackson, whose 5-yard touch
down capped the 98-yard drive to
the tying score in last year’s AFC
championship game, took a 5-
yard pass from the scrambling El
way and sped down the sideline,
eluding two tacklers.
Jackson and Nattiel — two of
the Three Amigos — were key el
ements in Denver’s passing game.
T hey made up for the absenctij
Vance Johnson, the third
and Denver’s leading recfl
who was out with a groin injuryl
Jackson finished with 1)1
yards on four catches, and til
tiel, who had an 8-yard
down in the first quarter, wouj
up with 95 yards on five mJ
tions. They dominated Dixonal
Minnifield, a pair of PrijE
coi net backs, as the high-powerl
Broncos of fense, rated No,
the AFC, toyed with ClevelaiJ
Dawg Defense.

in takeaways, nearly took Cm

Redskins outlast Vikings for Super Bowl berth
WASHINGTON (AP) — Doug
Williams, overthrowing and un
derthrowing most of the day, hit
Gary Clark with a 7-yard touch
down pass with 5:15 to play as
Washington qualified for its third
Super Bowl in six years, beating
the Minnesota Vikings 17-10
Sunday.
The victory was due as much to
the Washington defense, burned
for 62 points in its last two games
against Minnesota, as it was to the
offense.
The Washington defense rose
up to sack Wade Wilson eight
times, set up a field goal with an
interception and twice came up
with fourth-quarter goal-line
stands.
The second of the two halted
the Vikings on the 6 with 52 sec
onds to play, averting a third
straight overtime game between
these two teams.
The first goal-line stand forced
Minnesota to settle for Chuck
Nelson’s 18-yard field goal that
tied the score 10-10 with 10:06 to
P la Y- . _
Williams was 5-for-20 for 20
yards since Washington’s 98-yard
touchdown drive on its first pos
session, which culminated in a 42-
yard TD pass to Kelvin Bryant.
But after the tying field goal, he
came to life.
He led the Redskins on an
eight-play, 70-yard TD drive,
with 43 of the yards coming on a
pass to Clark, whom he had ear
lier overthrown on what looked
like a sure TD pass. Then he hit
Clark over the middle in the end
zone for the winning score.
Williams’s problems were evi
dent in his statistics — 9-of-36 for
119 yards.
But while Wilson was 19-of-39
for 243 yards, he was under far
more pressure from the Wash
ington defense, whose eight sacks
were one short of the NFL record
for a playoff game.
That made it a far cry from the
last two games between these two
teams, won by Washington 1
owitime 27-24 on Dec. 26a
44-38 last year.

halftime, Ali Haji-Sheikh,
had earlier misssed two fieldj
attempts, put Washington up 1|

in the third period.
Typically, it was set upbvj
fense — a pass tipped by
and returned 10 yards by
Kaufman to the Vikings
the Skins, who didn't get aS
down in the second half i
midway through the
riod, stalled at the 11.
