A pulse! ...
ReplyDeleteSan Diego's ball on their 29 yard line. Fourth and less than 1 to go. 1:23 left in the fourth quarter. The score is Houston 20, San Diego 16.
The pass from San Diego's QB1 #12 Dan Fouts is caught by FB1 #21 Alvin Maxson for a gain of almost 10 yards. Maxson is tackled by Houston's S1 #35 Tom Hannon. First down, San Diego! First and 10 to go. That was ACP2M172 (1413) against DB4sblz0 (1409).
Hail Mary?

Bum Phillips has reverted to old, reliable Ronnie at HB1. Ron B. Smith is starting at WR2 and Dwight Hicks at S2 because of injuries (to Billy Johnson and C.L. Whittington, respectively). The only new starters out of the AFC Central champs' training camp were DT2 Grant Hudson, picked up as a rookie free agent out of Virginia in NFL80, and LB3 George Andrews, the second-round pick out of Nebraska in NFL79 who moves to the first unit with the injury-hastened retirement of future Hall-of-Famer Robert "Dr. Doom" Brazile.
