Super Bowl XXV set:
Giants kick their way to Tampa
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Law
rence Taylor promised the New
York Giants would find a way to fi
nally beat the San Francisco 49ers,
and he did it.
Taylor, the Giants’ superstar line
backer and undisputed leader, re
covered a fumble by Roger Craig to
set up Matt Bahr’s 42-yard field goal
as time expired Sunday to give the
Giants a 15-13 victory and ruin the
49ers’ bid for an unprecendehted
third straight Super Bowl
championship.
Bahr’s fifth field goal of the game,
tying a playoff record, gave the Gi-
ants their second NFC
caught it in the air at the New York
43.
Seven plays later, from the 24,
Bahr kicked the winning field goal
just inside the left upright and
kicked the 49ers out of the history
books.
The Giants had been frustrated
by the 49ers, losing their last four
championship in five years and sent
them into next Sunday’s Super Bowl
• - " ' - - 5 , 51-f
against the Buffalo Bills, 51-3 con-
J juerors of the Los Angeles Raiders
or the AFC championship.
The Giants spent most of the
game trying without success to get
into the 49ers’ end zone. Thanks to
Taylor, they never had to.
It happened with 2:36 left, the
49ers leading 13-12 with second-
and-four and quarterback Joe Mon
tana out of the game with a bruised
sternum. As Craig ran into the line,
Giants nose tackle Erik Howard
poked the ball loose and Taylor
regular-season games to them, in
cluding a 7-3 loss in San Francisco
on Dec. 3.
“It’s time for the Giants to find a
way to win,” Taylor said last week.
He found it for them when he
found the ball popping out of
Craig’s grasp.
After the recovery, Jeff Hostetler,
who completed 15 of 27 for 176
yards, hit tight end Mark Bavaro for
19 yards to the San Francisco 38 at
the 2-minute warning.
The Giants ran onto the field and
the crowd of 65,750 — the second-
largest in 49ers history — sat
stunned as their dreams of “three-
peat” ended.
The Giants (15-3) became only the
second team in a decade to win the
NFL title on the road. The other was
the 49ers two years ago, when they
won in Chicago.
The Giants had to do it without
their starting quarterback, Phil
Simms, who has been out five weeks
with a foot injury.
“They kept on telling me I can’t,”
Hostetler said, “but we’re going to
the Super Bowl.”
It was bitter loss for the 49ers,
who were aiming for a record fifth
Super Bowl championship.
“This is a loss that will linger for a
while,” said 49ers coach George Sei
fert.
The meeting between the Giants
and Buffalo will be their second this
year. The Bills (15-3) won the first
game 17-13 at Giants Stadium and
were installed Sunday night as early
5-point favorites for the Super Bowl.
Billsperfect as they maul Raiders
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) —
The Buffalo Bills had the no-huddle
and the Los Angeles Raiders had no
chance.
The Bills, seemingly unable to
wait to get to Tampa for their first
Super Bowl, didn’t huddle, didn’t
try to eat up the clock and didn’t
take one step backward Sunday in a
record-setting 51-3 rout of the Los
Angeles Raiders for the AFC
Championship.
The Bills (15-3) used an awesome
array of offensive precision and de
fensive power in running up the
most points in an AFL or NFL play
off game since the San Diego Charg
ers oeat the Boston Patriots 51-10 in
1964. They overwhelmed the Raid
ers from the beginning, scoring a re
cord 41 points in the first half, oper
ating almost exclusively from the no
huddle attack and the shotgun.
Thurman Thomas ran over,
around and through the befuddled
Raiders as the Bills piled up 503 total
yards.
finished with 138 rushing, five re
ceptions for 61 yards and scored the
second touchdown on a 12-yard run,
untouched after the Bills’s line
opened a massive hole.
The only time Thomas wasn’t
doing damage to the usually staunch
LA defense was when Kenneth Da
vis was running in for scores of 1
Thomas showed exactly why he
led the NFL in total yardage with
170 yards in the opening half. He
and 3 yards. Or when James Lofton,
cut by the Raiders in 1989, was
catching TD passes of 13 and 8 yards
from Jim Kelly, who wound up 17-
of-23 for 300 yards.
The Bills’ other score in the open
ing half, when they surpassed the re
cord 38 points scored by Washing
ton against the Rams in 1983, came
on Darryl Talley’s 27-yard intercep
tion return.
Davis also had a 1-yard TD run in
the fourth quarter.
It was the Bills’ first championship
since winning the AFL title in 1965,
the year before the first Super Bowl.
They lost in the 1966 and 1988 con
ference championship games.
The Raiders (12-5) lost at Rich
Stadium 38-24 in the regular season
when Buffalo scored 24 points in the
fourth quarter. This time, in their
first AFC title game since the ’83 sea
son, the Raiders were out of it in the
second quarter.
Raiders quarterback Jay Schroed-
er’s was 8-for-20 for 100 yards with
two interceptions in the decisive first
half. He also began the second half
by throwing two more interceptions,
and finished just 13 of 31 for 150
yards.
The five interceptions tied the
AFC playoff record oy the Houston
Oilers’ Dan Pastorini against the
Pittsburgh Steelers in 1979 and by
the New York Jets’ Richard Todd
against the Miami Dolphins in 1983.
Bosox pitcher Clemens arrested for
assaulting officer outside nightclub
HOUSTON (AP) — An agent for
Boston Red Sox pitcher Roger
Clemens said a fracas involving
Clemens, his brother, Gary, and a
police officer at a Houston nightclub
was “an unfortunate misunderstand-
mg.
Glemens, 28, and his 39-year-old
7 €
brother, each remained free on
$2,000 bond Sunday after being ar
rested for aggravated assault on a
police officer during a Saturday
morning disturbance at the Bayou
Mama’s nightclub here.
Houston police spokesman Dan
Turner said the pair were involved
in a shouting match with of 1 ' i
nightclub patrons. When oxi-duty
Officer L. Oviedo, who was working
as a club security guard, attempted
to break up the group starting with
Roger Clemens, the brothers alleg
edly got into a wrestling match with
the officer.
appe;
been scheduled for Tuesday in Har
ris County state district court, the
district attorney’s office said. Harris
County Assistant District Attorney
Henry Lawrence said if convicted of
the third-degree felony charges, the
two brothers face two to 10 years in
prison and up to a $10,000 fine.
“Gary pushed the officer at that
time, and the officer had to take his
attention from the group. He at
tempted to arrest Gary Clemens and
Roger Clemens attempted to defend
his brother,” Turner said.
Sgt. CJ. Grysen said that as
Oviedo tried to arrest Gary, Roger
apparently “jumped on the officer’s
back and choked the officer.” Gry
sen said three more officers — an
other off-duty officer and two uni
formed patrol officers —joined the
fray before the brothers were sub
dued.
But Alan Hendricks, one of the
pitcher’s agents, questioned the re
port.
“There’s no question Roger’s de
nying that he was involved in any
chokehold of an officer,” Hendricks
said. “What I heard was when the of
ficer was scuffling with Roger’s
brother, Roger patted him on the
back and tried to resolve it that way,
to try to get the officer to resist this
confrontation.
“It was all an unfortunate misun
derstanding, and it will all be re
solved quickly. We have a number of
witnesses that have said they will tes
tify on Roger’s behalf that he never
did anything but tap the officer on
the shoulder and pat him on the
back, so we are certain it will be
brought to a powerful and proper
resolution.”
Marinovich
arrested
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.
(AP) — Southern Gal’s Todd
Marinovich, one of the nation's
top college quarterbacks, was ar
rested Sunday for investigation of
cocaine possession.
Marinovich, 21, was carrying
about a gram of the drug when
he was arrested at 4:15 a.m. while
walking down a street in this
coastal city 40 miles southeast of
Los Angeles, police spokesman
Mike McDonough said.
He was booked and released at
11:10 a.m. on his own recogni
zance pending an arraignment at
Harbor Municipal Court, Mc
Donough said.
Marinovich was kicked off the
Southern Gal team on Jan. 11 for
missing a mandatory players
meeting and failing to register for
classes before the start of the
spring semester.
There has been widespread
speculation that the sophomore
will enter the NFL draft.
“I was shocked to hear this
news,” Southern California coach
Larry Smith said. “I haven’t
talked to Todd yet, but I’m trying
to get a hold of him. We really
feel badly for Todd and his fam
ily. A week ago Todd was sus
pended indefinitely from our
football program, but that sus
pension was not related to this
problem.”
The quarterback had an erratic
sophomore season after an im
pressive freshmen year in which
ne led the Trojans to the Pac-10
title and a Rose Bowl victory over
Michigan.
He completed 196 of 322
passes for 2,423 yards and 13
touchdowns last season, but had
sub-par performances in losses to
Washington, Arizona, Notre
Dame and Mic higan State.
Ags’ Thomas
leads AFC in
Senior Bowl
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Alabama’s
Gary Hollingsworth engineered
three first-quarter scoring drives
that gave the AFC an early lead it
never relinquished in a 38-28 victory
over the NFC in Saturday’s Senior
Bowl.
Texas A&M’s William Thomas
caused and recovered a fumble at
the NFC 21 yardline when he sacked
Brett Favre. Thomas also blocked a
35-yard field goal try by Iowa State's
Jeff Shudak that could have sliced
the lead to seven points with 2:50 re
maining.
The AFC led by 10 or more points
throughout the game after building
a 17-0 lead.
Hollingsworth threw a 21-yard
touchdown pass to LSU’s Harvey
Williams late in the opening period
after his passing set up a 1-yard
touchdown run by Penn State’s Gary
Brown and a 28-yard field goal by
Alabama’s Philip Doyle.
Two other AFC quarterbacks also
threw for touchdowns as the trio
outdid two potential first-round
draft choices for the NFC — Dan
McGwire of San Diego State and
Favre of Southern Mississippi.
Rice’s Donald Hollis hit Tennes
see’s Alvin Harper on a 54-yard
scoring pass in the second quarter
and Louisville’s Browning Nagle
connected with Harper on a 38-yard
scoring pass.
The NFC’s scoring came on a 2-
yard run by Auburn’s Stacy Danley
and McGwire’s 7-yard pass to Mi
ami’s Randal Hill in the second quar
ter, on a 1-yard run by Ricky Watters
of Notre Dame in the third quarter
and McGwire’s 15-yard pass to Okla
homa’s Adrian Cooper with 5:54 to
play.
