Chiefs sack Cardinals, 24-3
Bono breaks an NFL record with 76-yard touchdown run; passes for two more scores
The Associated Press
TEMPE, Ariz. — The two touchdown passes Steve Bono threw Sunday were not a surprise — even the one to third-string lineman Joe Valerio. However, his 76-yard touchdown run can qualify as a shocker.
After a fake handoff to Marcus Allen fooled the Arizona defense. Bono took off on the longest scoring run by a quarterback in NFL history, a touchdown that started the Kansas City Chiefs on their way to a 24-3 victory.

Detroit's Greg Landry had a 76- yard, non-scoring run Sept. 27, 1970.
Later in the second quarter, it
was Valerio's turn to score. Bono hit him with a one-yard touchdown pass on a tackle-eligible play to give the Chiefs (4-1) a 14-0 lead at halftime. The 6-foot-5, 295-pound guard-center was uncovered for his fourth career touchdown.
Bono hit Lake Dawson with a 14-yard scoring pass in the third quarter, and the Chiefs went ahead 24-0 on Lin Elliott's 28-yard field goal later in the quarter.
Meanwhile, the defense toyed with the Cardinals (1-4), sacking Dave Krieg seven times for 68 yards and stopping them twice on downs. In a final insult, Brian Washington intercepted Krieg's pass on the one-yard line just before the two-minute warning.
Earlier in the fourth quarter, the seventh sack forced Arriano to settle for 50 yards.
Earlier in the fourth quarter, the seventh sack forced Arizona to settle for a 48-yard field goal by Greg Davis. Arizona stopped Kansas City in the first quarter when Terry Hoage intercepted Bono's pass in the end zone. But Kansas City regained the momentum by stopping Arizona on three tries from the one-yard line at the end of a 14-play, 79-yard drive that yielded no points.
The next Arizona embarrassment occurred with 9:31 left in the second quarter, when Marcus Dowdell let a punt bounce between his legs.
Dowdell ran from the ball in an attempt to show he
hadn't touched it. But Kansas City's Dale Carter pounced on it, and referees awarded Kansas City possession on the Arizona 15, leading to Valerio's touchdown.
In the second half, Kansas City's 89-yard, nine-play march to its third touchdown was helped by two 15-yard penalties against linemen.
First, Michael Bankston was whistled for unnecessary roughness against Bono. Then Eric England piled on a helmetless Allen at the end of a seven- yard run.
The resulting penalty put the ball on the Arizona 18, and Dawson beat Patrick Hunter with a fade three plays later.
The Chiefs made it 24-0 later in the third quarter with help from some unsung ballcarriers.
Fullback Kimble Anders, who led the Chiefs in receptions last year, swept around the left end for 26 yards to start the drive, and Greg Hill picked up six, five and 18 yards in successive carries before Elliott's kick.

Seattle or California will claim final berth
Major league baseball had a day yesterday unlike any it has ever had.
Baseball's regular season finale leaves one piece to playoff puzzle
The Associated Press
Two playoff spots were determined on the final day of the season and a third — the AL West — wound up undecided. Seattle will play California today in baseball's first one-game playoff since 1980, with Randy Johnson (17-2) to pitch against Mark Langston (15-6).
There were five games with playoff implications yesterday, a scattered and sometimes confusing mix that came about because of an expanded playoff system that was supposed to take effect in 1994 but didn't because of the strike.
Rather than having four playoff teams, as had been the case since 1969, there were eight spots up for grabs. Four of them, the AL East (Boston), AL Central (Cleveland), NL East (Atlanta) and NL Central (Cincinnati) had been decided weeks ago, and a fifth, the NL West, was won Saturday night by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
That left the AL West and the two wild-card spots to be determined yesterday.
Next to be clinched was the NL wild card, which would go to either the Houston Astros or Colorado Rockies.
The first birth to be clinched was the AL wild card, which went to the New York Yankees when they beat Toronto 6-1 for their 11th victory in the final 12 games.
Houston, which entered the day with a one-game deficit, escaped a bases-loaded threat in the ninth inning and edged the Chicago Cubs 8-7. But barely a half-hour later, Colorado finished off a come-from-behind 10-9 victory over San Francisco that gave it the wild-card spot
At Toronto, the Yankees completed a three-game sweep, won their 12th in a row against the Blue Jays and enabled captain Don Mattingly to lose the distinction of having played more games in his career (1,785) than any other active major leaguer without having reached the postseason.
That left one spot to be determined, but Seattle failed to get it by losing 9-3 at Texas. The Mariners entered the day with a one-game lead in the AL West, but the Angels beat Oakland 8-2 later yesterday to force the one-game playoff.
"A player who plays as hungry as he has, day in and day out for 14 seasons, finally getting the opportunity to experience postseason play, I'll definitely cheer for him," Toronto's Paul Mollor said.
Mattingly and Randy Velarde had solo homers and Sterling Hitchcock (11-10) combined with four relievers on a seven-hitter.
David Cone will be New York's starter tomorrow night against Seattle or California.

Rangers 9, Mariners 3 At Arlington, Texas, the Mariners blew their second chance in as many days to clinch the West.
Mickey Tettleton hit a three-run homer in the first inning, Mike Pagliarulo and Benji Gil had run-scoring hits in the fourth and Juan Gonzalez had a two-run double in the fifth as the Rangers opened a 7-1 lead.
The victory went to Kenny Rogers (17-7), who started on three days' rest and allowed three runs on five hits and two walks in six innings.

Angels 8. Athletics 2
Angels 6, Naturales 2 At Anaheim, Calif., Chuck Finley (15-12) delivered his second 'must-win' victory of the week. The left-hander, who shut out Seattle on
Jim Edmonds had four hits, drove in three runs and scored three times as the Angels won their fifth straight.
California led the division by 13 games on Aug. 5, but then lost 24 of 30 to drop out of first place. A victory today would make that collapse moot.
Rockies 10, Giants 9
At Denver, the Rockies came back from a six-run deficit with four runs in the third and four more in the fifth to take a 10-8 lead. San Francisco got a run in the seventh to cut its deficit to 10-9, but the Giants put only one runner on base in the final two innings.
"We knew we weren't out of it. This is extra special for me, especially because of the strike last year. With Montreal (last year), we were six games up and had to spend the winter on the golf course instead of celebrating. This is my first one, and I love it," Larry Walker said.

At Chicago, the Astros also rallied from a six-run deficit, but their victory went for naught when Colorado's win gave the Rockies the wild card.
"Turn it off! Turn it off!" was the shout heard in the Astros' locker room when Colorado started celebrating its playoff berth. Had Colorado lost, the Astros would have flown to Denver for a one-game playoff.
"It's an empty feeling. When you put your heart and soul into this thing and then don't win it, it'sEmpty," Jep Bagwell said.
