Nursing a sore right calf muscle and lacking a solid week of practice, Aikman looked in Super Bowl form Sun day as he threw two touchdown passes to lead the Dallas Cow boys to a 34-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers. The Cowboys (5-1) earned their sixth consecutive victory over the Packers (3-2), who boasted the NFL’s top-rated de fense and were off to their best start since 1982. Aikman said he was ex tremely doubtful for the game but a week of constant ice wraps, massages and electrical Dallas Cowboys 34 Green Bay Packers 24 stimulus treatments, along with Green Bay secondary laps es, proved a perfect remedy. He hit 24-of-31 passes for 316 yards, his ninth NFL passing day of 300 yards or more and fourth against the Packers. Aikman was hurt in the first period of a 27-23 loss to Wash ington last Sunday and missed the rest of the game. Grepn Bay rallied from 21- point deficits behind Brett Favre, who ran 4 and 21 yards for touchdowns and hit tight end Mark Chmurawith an 11- yard scoring pass. Favre’s 21-yard run with 8:13 to play narrowed the count to 31-24 but Aikman answered by taking Dallas to the Green Bay 17 where Chris Boniol hit his second field goal of the game, a 35-yarder with two minutes to play to put the game out of reach. Favre hit 21-of-41 passes for 295 yards. He failed in his quest to set the NFL record of at least two TD passes in 13 consecutive games. Favre is in the record books tied with Johnny Unitas, Dan Marino and Don Meredith at 12. Emmitt Smith rushed for over 100 yards for the fourth time this season and scored on runs of one and 16 yards. He rushed 31 times for 106yards Aikman directed theCjt. boys on three scoring dri^ and was guilty of throwing one bad pass in the first halls Dallas built a 17-3 lead. Aikman completed a 10-ymj TD pass to tight end Jayfc vacek, who broke safety Geotf; Teague’s tackle at the 2.(4 man completed three passes(c 66 yards as Dallas playedbea: the-block late in the halfonat 89-yard scoring drive. He hit Daryl Johnston fori yards, and followed it up will strikes of 29 and 14 yardstt Irvin before Smith divedacrai from the one for the touchdom with 27 seconds left. But Aikman saved thebei for the second half. He hitlrvii in stride on a 48-yard down pass behind rookieCrai Newsome to put the Cowboyi ahead 24-3. It was the fifth consecutivi win for Dallas over Green Bat in Texas Stadium. Moon gets revenge on hapless Oilers □ The Vikings beat the Oilers on a 20-yard run by Robert Smith in overtime. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) —- Twenty-six times Warren Moon saved the Houston Oilers in the fourth quarter or overtime. This time, he beat them that way, with help from Dewayne Wash ington and Robert Smith. After Moon threw two first- half touchdown passes and two second-half interceptions against his former team, Washington’s interception set up Smith’s 20- yard touchdown run Sunday in the Minnesota Vikings’ 23-17 overtime victory. Washington’s interception came off backup Will Furrer, who replaced Chris Chandler, who ap peared to hurt his throwing shoulder on Ed McDaniel’s sack with 18 seconds left in regulation. Houston (2-4), which lost to expansion Jacksonville last Minnesota Vikings 23 Houston Oilers 17 week, now has lost 18-of-22 games since trading Moon for two draft picks in April 1994. Chuck Cecil returned an in terception 20 yards in the third quarter for Houston’s only touch down. But a roughing penalty against Kanavis McGhee negat ed a 78-yard interception return by Darryll Lewis in the second quarter that would have given the Oilers a 13-10 lead. One play later, Moon threw 17 yards to Cris Carter for a 17- 6 advantage. Moon had his best game of the season statistically in his first game against the Oilers, completing 28-of-43 passes for 289 yards. Carter led the Vikings (3-2) with 12 catches for 115 yards and two touchdowns. Trailing 17-6 after a mis take-filled first half, the Oilers tied the game on Cecil’s 20-yard interception return and a 2- point conversion in the third quarter, and A1 Del Greco's 44- yard field goal with 6:40 left in the game. The Vikings won the coin toss, but couldn’t move in over time. A 60-yard punt by Mike Saxon pinned Houston at its 8.
