AFC
INDIANAPOLIS — Tony Eason threw a pair of third-quarter touchdown passes and linebacker Steve Nelson made two crucial interceptions, rallying the New England Patriots to a 30-21 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, the NFL's lone winless team.
New England, playing without five injured starters, won its fourth consecutive game improving to 7-3. The loss dropped Indianapolis to 0-10, four defeats shy of the team's longest streak ever, set in 1981.
Eason threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Irving Fryar and an 8-yard scoring throw to Willie Scott helping New England overcome Indianapolis' 14-6 halftime lead, Tony Franklin, the NFL's leading scoring, kicked field goals of 38, 31 and 24 yards for the Patriots.
Indianapolis' 14 first-half points matched its highest output this season
Nelson's second interception set up a New England touchdown, a 1-yard plunge by Mosi Tatupu with 8:20 to play.
The Patriots took their first lead, at 20-14, on Eason's scoring pass to Fryar from 4:21 remaining in the third quarter. Fryar produced a 47-yard completion to set up the touchdown, which he completed the scoring toss before finally pulling in the ball as he fell near the back of the end zone.
Franklin's 24-yard field goal with 13:01 to play and Tatupu's touchdown completed the New England scoring. Colts quarterback Jack Trudeau hit Matt Bouza with a 19-yard touchdown pass with 35 seconds to play for the final Indianapolis points. Buffalo 16, Pittsburgh 12.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Jim Kelly threw a touchdown pass after batting 40 mph winds and Robb Riddick ran for another score, giving the Buffalo Bills a 16-12 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Buffalo withstood a third-quarter Pittsburgh rally that gave new coach Marv Levy his first victory. Levy took over the 3-7 club after Hank Bullough was fired last week. Pittsburgh fell to 3-7.
Buffalo had a 13-0 lead before the Steelers, with the wind at their backs, scored 12 quick points at the start of the second half. Buffalo's Eric Richardson fumbled the opening kickoff of the half, and Pittsburgh's Mike Merriweather recovered the ball at the Ball 5.
One play later, Earnest Jackson ran up the middle for the touchdown 16 seconds into the quarter. The extra point attempt failed when holder Harry Newsome mishandled the snap.
Houston 32, Cincinnati 28
HOUSTON — Rookie Ray Wallace rushed for two touchdowns and Warner Moon threw for 110 yards, enabling the Houston Oilers to snap an eight game losing streak with a 32-28 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Tony Zendejas kicked four field goals for the Oliers, 2-8, who held off a second-half rally by the Bengals that produced 21 points in 11 minutes.
Boomer Esiason threw a 5-yard touchdown strike to left tackle Anthony Munoz with 7:26 to play, pulling the Bengals within 1 at 29:28. The Bengals threatened again after recovering a Wallace fumble at the Houston 36-yard line, but were stopped on a fourth-and-1 with 4:24 to go.
Zendejus kicked a 46-yard field goal with 26 seconds left to drop the Bengals to 6-4, a half-game behind Cleveland Brown in the AFC Central.

United Press International
In addition to slowing Dickerson, the Saints' defense thwarted the Rams' best drive midway through the fourth quarter when Dave Wayner intercepted a Steve Dils pass at the New Orleans 8-ward line.
The victory improved the Saints to 5-3 in Jim Mora's first season as head coach and moved them two games behind the first-place Rams, 7-3, in the NFC East.
New Orleans' scores came on second-half field goals of 20 and 22 yards by Andersen, who has scored in 44 straight games.
His first kick capped 16 plays and 71-yards that consumed 10:50 of the third quarter.
Andersen's second field goal came after Dils fumbled the ball on a handoff to Dickerson at the Rams 2 yard line, and James Haynes recovered the fumble for New Orleans and returned it to the 14.
PHILADELPHIA — Joe Morris ran for 111 yards and two touchdowns, and the New York Giants had seven sacks in a 17-14 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Giants moved to 8-2 and remained tied with Washington for first place in the NFC East. The Eagles fell to 3-7.
N. Y. Giants 17, Philadelphia 14
Morris scored on runs of 18 and 3 yards for his third straight two-touchdown game, and Raul Allegre added a 22-yard field goal. Outside linebacker Lawrence Taylor had three sacks, and the Giants set back the Philadelphia quarterbacks 43 yards. The Eagles didn't score until the fourth quarter.
The Giants, who had a 10-0 halftime lead, took advantage of a Philadelphia turnover early in the second half when Cunningham's pass was intercepted by Gary Reasons, giving New York the ball at the Philadelphia 18. Minnesota 24, Detroit 10
Philadelphia scored on a 75-yard touchdown pass from backup quarterback Randall Cunningham to Mike Quick and on a 1-yard run by Cunningham.
PONTIAC. Mich. — Anthony Carter set up his own 11 yard touchdown catch and a field goal in two receptions, and the Minnesota Vikings converted three Detroit turnovers into 17 points en route to a 24-10 victory over the Lions.
Strong safety Joey Browner returned an interception 39 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter and helped Minnesota, 6-4, stop a two-game losing streak.
Allen Rice ran 4 yards for a touchdown with 6:47 to play, ensuring that Detroit, 3-7, would lose its fourth game in a row.
With 4:54 left, center Steve Mott made a bad snap to quarterback Eric Hipple on fourth- and 1 at the Vikings 1-yard line, preventing Detroit from a shot at a touchdown that would have brought it within seven points.
San Francisco 43. St. Louis 17
SAN FRANCISCO — Joe Montana, returning just eight weeks after back surgery, threw touchdown passes of 44, 40 and 45 yards to Jerry Rice and lead the San Francisco 98ers to a 43-17 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Montana, who had not played since San Francisco's season opener, completed 13 of 19 passes for 270 yards and one interception. In addition, his injury was diagnosed as a career threat.
San Francisco improved to 6-3-1, a half-game behind the first place Rams in the NFC West. San Francisco was ahead 30-10 midway through the third quarter. Montana completed passes of 16 yards to Dwight Clark and 11 yards to tight end Russ Francis and moved to the St. Louis 44-yard line. On the next play, Montana

For the win, they beat
TAMPA, Fla. — Walter Payton rushed 139 yards despite a toe injury, and quarterback Mike Tomeczk threw for one touchdown and 23-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Attracting the first Tampa Stadium sellout in almost four years, the Bears grabbed a 14-0 lead midway through the opening quarter and cruised to their seventh consecutive triumph over the Buccaneers. Chicago, 8-2, had dropped two of its last three games, and Payton dislocated the big toe of his right foot in last week's 20-17 loss to the Rams.
Washington 16, Green Bay 7
Payton, who carried 20 times, had three receptions for 69 yards. It was the 77th 100-yard rushing game in Payton's career and the fourth of this season, his 12th year in the NFL.
GREEN Bay, WIS. — John Schroeder threw two touchdown passes, and Washington shut down Green Bay after the game's opening kick. The Packers made a 16-7 comeback victory over the Packers.
Raiders return to AFC West race
The Redskins, tied for first in the NFC East with the New York Giants entering the game, were one of the top teams in
United Press International
IRVING, Texas — Jim Plunkett's 40-yard touchdown pass to Dokie Williams early in the fourth quarter moved Los Angeles ahead for the first time yesterday. The Raiders then forced six turnovers, beating the Dallas Cowboys 17-13.
Interconference
The Cowboys had two touchdowns called back on penalties and moved inside the Raiders 30-yard line five times in the first half without scoring.
Los Angeles had just enough offensive life under the guidance of the 38-year-old Plunkett to fight their way back into the AFC West race.
The Raiders kept their game-winning march going with a 6-yard serachable by Plunkett on third-and 5. Then, on third-and 13, a Plunkett pass was deflected by Dallas' Bill Bates only to fall into the hands of tight end Todd Christensen for a first down.
The first one, from 20 yards, early in the third quarter, tied the score 10-10. The second finished off a drive kept alive by two critical third-down plays.
The 40-yard touchdown throw from Plunkett to Williams was successful even though Williams was surrounded in the end zone by Dallas defenders Bates, Ron Fellows and Michael Downs.
Dallas took a 10-3 lead in the first half on a 20-yard field goal by Rafael Septien followed by a 13-yard scoring run by Tony Dorsett, who gained 101 yards on 22 carries.
Dorsett jumped into fifth place on the NFL's all-time rushing list, passing O.J. Simpson. Seption converted a 20-yard field goal in the third quarter giving the Cowboys a 13-10 lead.
Chris Bahr of Los Angeles kicked a 45-yard field goal in the second quarter tying the score 3-3.
ATLANTA — Ken O'Brien completed a team-record 17 straight passes, including three second-quarter touchdown strikes, leading the New York Jets to their eighth straight victory, a 28-14 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.
O'Brien, who completed 13 of 13 passes for 195 yards in the second quarter and 26 of 33 for 322 yards overall, threw a 59-yard touchdown bomb to Al Toon on the first play of the second period. He followed with scoring scores of 46 and 16 yards to Wesley Walker to put the Jets, 9-1, ahead 21-0 at the half.
Michael Harper recovered a fumble by Atlanta's Sylvester Stamps on the second-half kickoff for the Jets at the Falcons' 26-yard line. O'Brien's 17th consecutive completion, a 12-yarder to the Atlanta 5, set up Freeman McNeil's 3-yard touchdown run that gave New York a 28-10 lead with 2:42 gone in the third quarter.
N. Y. Jets 28, Atlanta 14
The Falcons got their other touchdown with 1:16 to play when Archer, who completed 21 of 36 passes for a career-best 350 yards, threw 23 yards to tight end Ken Whisenhunt.
The Jets drove into Atlanta territory on their next possession, but Pat Leahy missed a field-goal attempt. The Falcons, 5-4-1, countered with a 71-yard drive, including four Dave Archer completions, the fourth a 20-yard touchdown toss to tight end Arthur Cox with 1:44 left in the third.
