HOUSTON (AP) — Jeff Blake threw a
pair of touchdown passes to Carl Pickens
and Cincinnati’s defense hardly played
Sunday like the NFL’s worst as the Bengals
downed the Houston Oilers 32-25.
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.

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.
