Did you know ...?

All data from the players' 1982 Topps cards:

Bears G Noah Jackson "holds the distinction of being one of a select few players to have started playoff games in the Canadian Football League and the NFL. He played 3 seasons with the Toronto Argonauts before entering NFL with the Baltimore Colts."

Bears LB Jerry Robinson: "At UCLA he was college football's 1st 3-time All-Ameircan since Doak Walker (1947-1949). Extremely quick and agile."

Bucs CB Mike Washington: "Mike's height (6-3) is an asset to preventing the deep pass."

Bengals T Chris Ward: "At Ohio State, Chris played 1049 minutes in 44 games, more than any other player in the history of the school."

Seahawks T Marvin Powell: "One of his biggest assets is his dedication to his work. He's always watching films and is truly a student of the game."

Colts WR Roger Carr: "Roger's first 2 Colt receptions went for 90 and 89-yard TD's" in 1974.

Browns T Doug Dieken: "Doug moves into his 12th pro season with a 153-game string of consecutive starting assignments at offensive left tackle for the Browns. He has the ability to 'absorb' a defensive player, to stay in front of him. Doug is also smart. He studies the opponent and has great finesse. Doug is durable and plays despite nagging injuries."

Browns C Tom DeLeone: "Patience, hard work and total dedication have combined with natural ability to bring Tom to the point where he is recognized as one of the finest centers in pro football. Quiet confidence has marked Tom's progress since he became a regular in 1975."

Browns DE Art Still: "Art was Southeastern Conference Player of the Year in 1977" at the University of Kentucky.

Browns P Chuck Ramsey: "Began punting without a shoe in 1979 and his average increased."

NFL 1982 Super Bowl Preview

Los Angeles 11-5 at New York 10-6
     The big story surrounding this game is the state of James Harris.  It looks as though Pat Haden will get the start for the Rams with Harris sitting injured on the sideline.  Pat Haden put up good numbers against the 49ers, but the Rams only managed to score 3 points in the second half.  The Jets will have their leader Vince Evans on the field.  He proved last week what he could do against a top rate defense and he'll have to do it again this week.  A lot of attention is payed to the Rams offense, but their defense was ranked 3rd in the League for yards allowed.  This should be a great match up. 



Los Angeles 26 at San Francisco 20 (OT) (Conference Championship Game)

Despite losing James Harris for the second game in a row the Rams held on for the win.  They only managed 3 points in the second half and saw their 14 point halftime lead fade away, but they never panicked.  Then on the 49ers first possession in overtime Larry Anderson read a little dump pass play perfectly, picking off Jim Plunkett and setting up the game winning touchdown.  The Rams are returning to the Super Bowl for their 3rd time in seven seasons.  If the 49ers had won this one we would be remembering the brilliant final drive during regulation that sent this game into overtime, but it was not to be for the 49ers.

New York 20 at Miami 17 (Conference Championship Game)

The key to this game was the 3rd quarter.  At the half Miami was ahead 10-7, at the end of the 3rd quarter Miami was ahead 17-10, but Miami had only managed 1 play of offense in the entire 3rd quarter, with 1:15 left, and that was a fumble which setup the Jets tying score early in the 4th.  When the game was all tied up 17-17 and Miami punted the ball out of bounds at the five with 2:09 left in the game, the Jets had no doubt they could put together a drive to win the game.  The Dolphins defense was completely exhausted and had nothing left.  90 yards later Pat Leahy kicked through the game winner and the Jets were crowned the Conference champs.  Vince Evans lived up to his hype playing a brilliant game.

NFL 1982 Conference Championships Preview

New York 10-6 at Miami 10-6
     These two teams met twice during the regular season, with Miami winning both easily.  They will be looking to make it a third time and that's always a hard task.  These two teams have very similar styles.  Both look to their defense to set the stage while their ball control offense manages field position and the clock.  In fact that's the formula in the AFC.  As we saw last week Houston and San Diego both play the same style of ball.  Usually in a match up like this it comes down to quarterback, and we have a great pair in this game.  Vince Evans for the Jets is in his 6th season and is considered one of the top quarterbacks in the League.  He'll be going up against Bob Griese who is in his 16th season and has been the best big game quarterback in the League for years.  Both teams will look to get their running games going early and take the pressure off of their quarterbacks, but in the end it will be their play that makes the difference. 

Los Angeles 11-5 at San Francisco 13-3
     For years the 49ers have been one of the top teams in the League, but they have been overshadowed by their Division rivals the Los Angeles Rams.  In the past six seasons the Rams have made two Super Bowls, while the 49ers have made none.  Both teams are aging, but both teams are thought by many to be the best team in the League.  Both teams have solid defenses and both teams have explosive offenses.  This should be a real shootout.  The 49ers have one serious injury with Delvin Williams unlikely to start.  They will need someone to step up at the running back position.

New Orleans 16 at San Francisco 45 (Divisional Playoff Game)

When the Saints went up 10-0 early in the first quarter I thought it looked bad for the 49ers.  Twice earlier in the season they had faced the Saints and twice the Saints had easily beaten them.  But it was not to be.  The 49ers would end up completely dominating the second half of this game and coming away with a very impressive win.  Jim Plunkett had a phenomenal day and the 49ers are on their way to the 1982 NFC Conference Championship Game.

New York 17 at San Diego 13 (Divisional Playoff Game)

The Jets scored with 1:52 left in the game and then held on for the win.  The Chargers defense did all they were suppose to.  They forced Vince Evans into errors and gave their offense chances, but the Chargers offense could not get the job done.

Los Angeles 27 at Philadelphia 14 (Divisional Playoff Game)

What a dominating performance from the Rams who clearly looked like the better team.  When James Harris was carried off the field early in the first quarter you had to wonder what chance the Rams had, but Pat Haden filled in and played perfectly.  Meanwhile the Rams defense completely bottled up the Eagles.  This was an impressive performance by the Rams.  Harris did make an appearance on the Rams final possession so he should be ready to start next week.

Houston 9 at Miami 10 (Divisional Playoff Game)

Both teams played their defensive schemes to perfection and so we got a very tight ballgame.  Houston contained the Miami running game and forced Bob Griese into some critical turnovers and a safety, while Miami managed to shut down Dan Pastorini limiting him to only one sustained drive.  In the end Miami's defense was the difference.
