Cowboys scalped again, 24-17
□ The Washington Redskins stunned
Dallas for the second time in 1995.
IRVING (AP) — Jerry Jones nervously wrung
his hands and had the hard look of a man who just
lost big bucks drilling a dry hole in the oil fields.
“We’re in a big jam now,” said the Dallas owner,
desperate to win a Super Bowl without Jimmy
Johnson in the organization. “Now we have to win
three games in a row to get what we want, the
home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
This is very important to us to regroup as an en
tire organization.”
Jones got outslickered again on Sunday by one
of his own, Norv Turner, who worked his spell on
the Dallas Cowboys.
With a brilliant game plan
centered around Heath Shuler
and Terry Allen, Washington
used Turner’s knowledge of his
former employers to stun the
Cowboys 24-17 on Sunday and sweep the two-
game series for the first time since 1987.
Allen scored two touchdowns and Shuler passed
for another as the Redskins (4-9) snapped a four-
game losing streak. The Cowboys’ loss to their for
mer offensive coordinator prevented Dallas (10-3)
from clinching a playoff spot.
“Norv knows something,” said Dallas offensive
tackle Mark Tuinei. “He knows how to play us. He
taught Michael Irvin how to run routes, showed
Emmitt Smith where to run, and taught Troy
(Aikman) how to throw. They play us differently
than anybody.”
Turner said the Redskins desperately needed a
win “against anybody.”
“If there were 53 guys in this state who thought
we would win, they were all in our locker room
and I’m not sure about all of them,” Turner said,
“This win reinforced our program.”
The Redskins beat Dallas 27-23 in the fifth
game of the season when Allen scored twice and
gained 123 yards.
“We get up to play Dallas,” Allen said. “I guess
it’s because they always overlook us.”
In the third quarter, Shuler drove the Redskins
83 yards for a touchdown that put his team-ahead
14-10. Shuler hit tight end Jamie Asher with a 20-
yard pass on the drive, Allen
ran 13 yards and Shuler
found Henry Ellard with a
10-yard TD pass.
The Redskins made it 21-
10 after Stanley Richard in
tercepted a pass by Aikman and returned it 24
yards to the Dallas 27. Shuler hit Asher with a
12-yard pass to the 1 and Allen scored on the
next play.
“I’ve had my critics but there’s no doubt in my
mind what I can do,” Shuler said.
Dallas got to the Redskins 12 with 5:37 to
play but Richard caused Smith to fumble. Smith
picked up the ball at the goal but officials ruled
he was out-of-bounds and the Redskins were giv
en a touchback.
"We're In a big jam now."

playoff hopes dwindle
in the divisional loss.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Appar
ently, the Pittsburgh Steelers have
no problem saying goodbye to old
friends.
Neil O’Donnell threw two
touchdown passes on an other
wise off day and the Steelers
wrapped up their third AFC
Central title in coach Bill
Cowher’s four seasons by beat
ing the Oilers 21-7 on Sunday.
The Steelers (9-4) ended their
farewell tour against relocating
division opponents, following up
a 20-17 decision in Cleveland
with their 20th victory in 27
games against Houston in Three
Rivers Stadium. The Oilers (5-8)
are set to move to Tennessee
next season without first stop
ping by the playoffs.
- “Only if we pick up the paper in
the morning and it says we’re 8-5
rather than 5-8,” Oilers cornerback
Cris Dishman said, “It’s the same
old cliches for the last eight years
I’ve been here: Next year.”
But this year looks like last
year in the AFC Central. Despite
being 3-4 in late October, the
Steelers have won an NFL season-
high six in a row to clinch the divi
sion faster than in any season
since the 1970s.
Still, mindful of the premature
celebration by some before they
lost the AFC championship game
to San Diego in January, the Steel
ers displayed no signs of being the
first NFL division champion
crowned this season.
There were no victory cigars or
celebratory hugs in their locker
room, only talk of next week’s trip
to Oakland, yet another opponent
acquainted with relocation.
“We’re not ready to celebrate,”
defensive back Camel] Lake said,
“We’ve been here before, and guys
are expecting better. If this was
our first division championship,
maybe it would be different.”
