The Bengals defense had been giving up more than 403 yards per game coming into Houston, putting them 30th and last in the league. But they came up with four sacks for 31 yards in losses, an in terception and forced five fum bles, recovering three of them. The Bengals (4-6), who gave Houston 287 yards, also blocked a punt that led to a safety. Blake, meanwhile, gave Pick ens the Cincinnati TD pass re ceiving record with a 30-yard scor ing toss in the third quarter. That gave Pickens 12 for the year, breaking the mark he set a year ago. Pickens extended the record with his sec ond touchdown, a 12-yard strike from Blake with 5:15 gone in the fourth quarter to make it 23-13. It was set up by a punt fum bled by Houston’s Mel Gray. The scoring passes also extended Blake’s team record of TD passes to 17 consecutive games. Blake had entered the game leading the AFC with 18 TD passes. In addition, he picked up 105 yards rush ing on six carries. Pickens finished with 108 yards on seven receptions. He also recovered two onside kicks in the fourth quarter as the Oilers (4- 6) tried to mount a late comeback. The Oilers lost for the first time in three games and for the first time against the Bengals in Houston in 11 years. They also lost starting quarterback Chris Chandler, who went down with a leg injury while being sacked and fumbling in the third quarter. The Bengals set the tone early as Jeff Hill took the opening kickoff 46 yards and picked up another 15 on a face mask penalty to begin the game for Cincinnati at the Hous ton 26. On second down, Blake went back to throw and ran away from the Oilers rush for 17 yards to the Houston 9. Two plays later, Eric Bieniemy scooted around the left side of the line to give the Bengals a 7-0 lead with just 1:43 gone in the game. The Oilers answered with a 40-yard field goal from A1 Del Greco, his first of two, to make it 7-3. On the next series, Blake threw slightly behind Pickens streaking across the field and linebacker Eddie Robinson intercepted the pass and returned it 49 yards to put Houston ahead 10-7.

Staff and Wire Reports ( Marino breaks passing record □ The Dolphins' quar terback passed Fran Tarkenton as the all- time yardage leader. MIAMI (AP) — Dan Marino broke Fran Tarkenton’s NFL career record for passing yardage Sunday by completing a 9- yard pass to Irving Fryar in the first quarter of the Miami Dolphins’ game against New England. The completion, 4:20 into the game, gave Marino 47,009 yards in 13 seasons. Tarkenton threw for 47,003 yards in 18 years. Marino surpassed Tarkenton’s career record for completions earlier this season, and he began Sun day’s game needing just five touchdown passes to top Tarkenton’s record of 342 in that category. Marino went into the game needing 38 yards to break the yardage record. He hit Fryar with a 20- yard completion on the game’s first play, but his next pass was intercepted by Vincent Brown. On Miami’s next posses sion, Marino connected with Eric Green for 14 yards. Following a running play, Marino hit Fryar on a square-out for a first down and the record. The crowd erupted with a roar even before the record was announced. Marino shook hands with his team mates and trotted to the sideline with the game ball, which will be shipped to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He hugged coach Don Shu- la, then took off his helmet and waved to the crowd. Marino already held the NFL record for passing yardage in one season with 5,084 in 1984. He has thrown for 400 yards in a game 12 times, another league record. Despite missing two games this season with in juries, the 34-year-old Marino is on pace for his 11th 3,000-yard season, which would extend an NFL record.
