THE CHIEFS
Injury takes Allen out of game
Chiefs' running back forced to wait again for 100th touchdown
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Kansas City running back Marcus Allen sat out most of Sunday's game at Cleveland after getting cut above his eye in the Chiefs' first offensive play.
Allen was staggered when he was hit hard at the end of a 3-yard run. He went to the locker room for treatment and returned to the field in uniform. He did not get back in the game, and his left eye was badly swo
left eye was badly swollen.
"He got a finger in the eye," coach Marty Schottenheimer said. "I don't know whether it was
a blow that was part of that or not."
of that or not Allen, who said afterward that the injury was not serious, is one touchdown away from becoming the fourth NFL player to reach 100 rushing touchdowns in his career. The players who have done so are Walter Payton with 110, Jim Brown with 106 and John Riggins with 104.
Byner erases some bad memories
Fumble in 1988 AFC championship game is still remembered
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Earnest Byner is in the middle of his best game in two years, and what is flashed on the network telecast? A replay of the fumble.
"It's part of the mentality of society to always concentrate on things that are negative," Byner said Sunday after he scored two touchdowns in the Cleveland Brown's 35-17 victory against the previously unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs.
Like it or not, Byner forever will be linked with one of the most disappointing moments in Browns history — his fumble at the goal line as Cleveland was driving toward the tying touchdown in the closing minutes of the 1988 AFC championship game at Denver.
On Sunday, 33-year-old Byner looked more like the young man who ran 1,002 yards for Schotten-
heimer's Brown in 1985 than like the situation player he has been since Cleveland brought him back from Washington as a free agent last year.
He spun up the middle for a 7-yard touchdown on Cleveland's second possession, then caught a short pass from Vinny Testaverde with 10 minutes left in the game, building the Browns' lead to a comfortable 21-3.
Byner ran nine times for 38 yards and caught seven passes for 59.
The Browns ended all doubt by scoring twice on defense late in the fourth quarter, getting interception returns from linebackers Gerald Dixon (18 yards) and Mike Caldwell (24 yards) just 19 seconds apart.
Testaverde also threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Andre Rison in the third quarter. The drive was extended by punter Tom Tupa's 25-yard completion to safety Louis Riddick on a fake punt from Cleveland's 41-yard line.
"This is the most complete game we have played this season, offensive and defensively." Testaverde
said, "We wanted to keep it balanced. I think we did a pretty good job of it, and Earnest Byner had a lot to do with that."
The Chiefs, who were trying to go 4-0 for the first time in franchise history, were stung by the loss of running back Marcus Allen on their first offensive play. Allen was cut over the left eye on a 3-yard run, and although he returned to the sideline after being treated in the locker room, he did not play again.
Kansas City didn't get a first down until the second quarter, but Lin Elliott's 25-yard field goal with 38 seconds left in the first half left the Chiefs behind 7-3 at halftime.
They didn't score again until Steve Bono hit Keith Cash with a 38-yard touchdown with eight minutes left, closing it to 21-10.
Bono, who had been picked off just once in the first three games, then threw the two quick interceptions to Dixon and Caldwell with less than five minutes to play.
Bono threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Webster Slaughter with 14 seconds left in the game.
