Cunningham ravages Chicago’s defense
Eagles defeat Bears 30-22 at Veterans Stadium
Day
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — It was vintage
Randall at the Vet, and the Philadelphia
Eagles needed all of it.
Randall Cunningham picked apart
Chicago’s defense Monday night, passing
for 311 yards and three touchdowns as
Philadelphia opened a 30-point lead and
held on to beat the Chicago Bears 30-22.
Cunningham threw for 250 yards in the
opening half, with two touchdown
passes to Calvin Williams and one to
Maurice Johnson.
And he never cooled off. Cunningham
finished 24-of-36 in his 11th career 300-
yard passing effort and the first time he
has done it in successive games; he had
344 yards in a loss to the New York Giants
last week.
Cunningham wasn’t the only star on a
night when the Eagles did little wrong un
til the fourth quarter before a raucous
crowd of 64,890 at Veterans Stadium.
Williams had all six of his receptions in the
first half for 85 yards, and Fred Barnett
added eight catches for 102 yards.
The defense, meanwhile, shackled the
Bears early, holding them to 70 yards and
three first downs in the first 30 minutes.
By the time the Bears got their offense in
gear, they had to fight back from a 30-0
deficit in the fourth quarter.
Chicago scored on a 22-yard pass from
Erik Kramer to Curtis Conway with 12:15
remaining, an 85-yarder to Conway with
5:53 to go — Conway also caught a 2-point
conversion — and a 16-yarder to Marv
Cook with 3:35 to go.
But then Cunningham connected on two
passes on Philadelphia’s final possession,
enabling the Eagles to run out the clock.
The victory snapped Philadelphia’s sev
en-game losing streak against Chicago,
which lost for the first time this summer.
The Bears were 4-0 in preseason and beat
Tampa Bay in their opener. They’ve lost
only five of 31 meetings with the Eagles.
But they were never really in this one,
especially after losing their best corner-
back, Donnell Woolford, early in the game
with a concussion.
Williams made a reaching catch of a 9-
yard pass on a fade pattern for Philadel
phia’s first score, concluding an 83-yard
drive on which Cunningham was 6-for-8.
Williams then beat Mark Carrier to the
back left corner of the end zone for a 14-
yard touchdown pass in the second quar
ter.
The Eagles’ third touchdown was set up
by Jeff Sydner’s 47-yard gallop on a punt
return. He was stopped at the Bears’ 19,
and Cunningham found Johnson at the 1
five plays later and he back-crawled into
the end zone for a 21-0 lead.
Eddie Murray tacked on a 41-yard field
goal with two seconds left in the
second period.
The defense, vulnerable at New York,
was impenetrable until the fourth quarter,
when it nearly blew the game. For 45 min
utes, the Eaglers didn’t miss Reggie White,
Clyde Simmons and Seth Joyner at all —
they held Kramer to 6-for-15 passing for 54
yards in the first half — but they sure
could have used them down the stretch.
Kramer was victimized by Eagles new
comers William Fuller, who had two sacks
and plenty of pressures; Burt Grossman,
who also had a sack; and Greg Jackson,
whose interception and 31-yard return in
the third quarter led to Murray’s third
field goal, from 33 yards. He also had a 29-
yarder that made it 30-0.

polish of an established
quarterback, but the A&M
product conducts himself
professionally.
This was shown Sunday
after Bucky was unmerciful
ly driven into the ground by
Charles Haley.
Several whistles were
blown, calling the play
dead, but Haley wasn’t
flagged for. his uncontested
cheap shot. The hit wasn’t
blatant, but it should have
been flagged nonetheless.
Bucky popped up, dusted
himself off and went back to
the huddle. He didn’t argue
or whine to the refs. After
the game, he said he
thought a penalty should
have been called, but he
just described the play as a
part of football. This atti
tude is refreshing in a time
when a multi-million dollar
quarterback would be cry
ing foul.
