Dallas makes Buffalo stew in 2nd Super Bowl victory
By Dave Goldberg The Associated Press
ATLANTA — The Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills played for Super Bowl history Sunday, and they got it.
By winning their second straight NFL championship, the Cowboys were proclaimed the team of the '90s. By losing their fourth straight Super Bowl, the Bills ensured that they will live in infamy.
Dallas won 30-13 because of Emmitt Smith and because of two unlikely stars, James Washington, starting only because the Cowboys played an extra defensive back, and gaffe-prone defensive tackle Leon Lett.
Washington had a hand in 17 of Dallas' points, the most important a 46-yard touchdown return with a fumble forced by Lett 55 seconds into the second half. Smith, who was named the game's MVP, rushed for 132 yards, 61 on the go-ahead drive that immediately followed Washington's return.
While commissioner Paul Tagliabue used the "team of the '90s" label as he presented the Vince Lombardi trophy to coach Jimmy Johnson and owner Jerry Jones of the Cowboys. Dallas players were more reticent.
"Dynasty? Naw," said guard Nate Newton. "We're just a good team trying to get better every year."
In the Buffalo locker room, someone said jokingly, "of for five in 95."
But that didn't mask the pain.
"How difficult is it?" asked linebacker Darryl Talley. "It hurts. It hurts deeply."
Smith, surprisingly named the game's MVP over Washington, scored twice as Dallas became the 10th straight NFC team to win the league's title game. They did it by outscoring the Bills 24-0 in the second half after trailing 13-6 at halftime.
It was Washington who turned the game around as the Cowboys became just the fifth team to win in consecutive years and tied San Francisco and Pittsburgh with four Super Bowl victories.
In addition to his fumble return, which tied the game at 13-13 just 55 seconds into the second half, Washington intercepted a pass in the fourth quarter that led to another score, and forced a first-half fumble that led to a field goal. Both fumbles were by Buffa-
lo's star running back, Thurman Thomas,
whose frustration seemed to symbolize the entire team's — he finished with just 37 yards in 16 carries.
"We've tried to get playmakers at every position," Johnson said. "We've got them at back-ups. We want to get the players that will do the things they must do to win the game."
"Those key turnovers I had changed the momentum of the game," Thomas said. "I wish I could have played a better game to end the season."
Washington, whose interception led to Dallas' first touchdown in last year's 52-17 rout of Buffalo, picked it up and rambled in for the touchdown that tied the game, changed the momentum forever and guaranteed Buffalo its place in NFL history.
Smith rushed for 61 of his yards on the next drive, scoring from 15 yards out to give Dallas a 20-13 lead. Lett, Haley, Jim Jeffcoat and Darren Woodson, meanwhile, all made big defensive plays to shut down a Buffalo offense that had rung up 216 yards in the first half but got just 98 after intermission.
Smith and the Dallas defense then took over.
It was not a great day for Troy Aikman, last year's MVP.
The Dallas quarterback was 19 of 27 for 207 yards, but couldn't get the ball in the end zone in the first half, when Buffalo's Jim Kelly was moving the ball up and down the field with ease, passing for 176 yards before intermission.
Smith, the league's MVP in the regular season, added the Super Bowl MVP award to his collection.
After being held to 41 yards on 10 carries in the first half, he took over after Lett and Washington had combined to tie it and Jeffcoat and Haley had combined on a 13-yard sack of Kelly on Buffalo's next series.
After Aikman hit Daryl Johnston for 3 yards, Johnston dashed 15 yards up the middle on third and three for the score that gave Dallas the lead for good.
But he gave the credit to someone far lesser known.
"Washington is a big play player, he was a big motivating factor to get things going." Smith said. "I felt Washington made the
biggest plays in the turnaround. Washington had a great game all day. I wish he could have had the MVP also."
"After they get big turnovers, you begin to press," said Buffalo coach Marv Levy, who joins Bud Grant, elected to the Hall of Fame on Saturday, as the only coach to lose four Super Bowls.
"I said little to them after the game." Levy said. "I told them I admired them. We'll try it again. I think this is a team that will fight back."
For a while, it looked like this would be the year.
Buffalo controlled the first half.
The defense kept the Bills in the game early, holding Dallas to two field goals in the first period after twice getting good field position. The first time came after Kevin Williams returned the opening kickoff 50 yards. The second came on Thomas' fumble at midfield.
The Bills tied it 2:22 later on Steve Christie's Super Bowl record 54-yard field goal, set up by a 23-yard pass that Thomas caught in the flat and took to the Dallas 39 by slipping past Larry Brown. The previous record kick was 48 yards, shared by Jan Stenerud of Kansas City and Rich Karlis of Denver.
On Buffalo's next possession, Thomas fumbled after taking a shovel pass from Kelly and Woodson recovered at midfield. That set up Murray's second field goal that gave Dalla a 6-3 lead.
Then the Bills took advantage of a Dallas mistake — a running into the kicker penalty on Dave Thomas that allowed the Bills to continue a drive that had stalled at the Bills' 41. It ended with Thomas slashing in from 4 yards out at the end of an 80-yard, 17-play drive.
Late in the half, Dallas drove 62 yards from its own 1 to the Buffalo 37.
The Bills reached the 9, but had to settle for Christie's second field goal, from 28 yards, to go into intermission with a 13-6 lead.
As it turned out, that wasn't nearly enough.
"It was kind of like our year." Thomas said. "We'd play one good half in a lot of games. In this kind of game, you can't get away with that."
Super Bowl causes super sales of food
By Frank McCleary
Kánsan staff writer
Super Bowl weekend is almost always an excuse for Lawrence football fans to party — even if the Kansas City Chiefs are not playing.
Jason Martin, manager at Myers Retail Liquor, 902 W.23rd St., said sales had been higher than a normal weekend.
The party atmosphere was reflected this weekend in increased sales at local liquor stores, grocery stores and pizza delivery places.
"It is mostly beer," he said. "The main difference is kee'd sales."
He said that people bought more than they usually would because they invited guests to their homes to watch the game.
Super Bowl weekend ranks with New Year's Eve, the day before the Fourth of July and the Final Four as times when their sales increase, Martin said.
Chris Robinson, employee at Webb's Fine Wine and Spirits, 800 W.23rd St., said keg and wine sales had increased this weekend.
But beer drinkers need food as well as drink. Sales of potato chips, dip and other snack foods also increased during the weekend.
David Ornburn, assistant manager of Dillons, 3000 W. 6th St., said the sold had more party items, such as chips and soda, during the Super Bowl.
However, sales were better the previous weekend, he said.
"There was more of an atmosphere last week with the Chiefs playing." Ornumb said.
Of course, when the snacks ran out and the fans still were hungry, they had another option: ordering a pizza.
Rich Brown, manager at Pyramid Pizza, 607 W 14th St., said he had expected more deliveries dur ing the big game.
"You definitely plan on doing more," he said. "People do not want to go out during the game."
But not everybody stayed at home for the game. Sports bars around Lawrence offered food and drink specials and large screen televisions to entice people inside.
Kyle Witherspoon, employee at Johnny's Tavern,
401 North Second St., said Johnny's also had expected to do more business than a regular Sunday afternoon.
