United Press International
WASHINGTON — Phil Simms three for three touchdowns yesterday and the New York Giants intercepted six Jay Schroeder passes, taking sole possession of first place in the NFC East with a 24-14 victory over the Washington Redskins.
NFC
The Giants improved to 12-2 and dropped Washington into second at 11.3. With two triumphs over the Redskins this season, the Giants need one victory or one Washington loss in the final two weeks to clinch their first NFC East title and their initial firstplace finish since capturing the NFL's Eastern Conference in 1963.
Simms threw touchdown passes of 9 yards to Mark Bavaro, 7 yards to Bobby Johnson and 16 to Phil McConkey. Raul Allegre kicked a 21-yard field goal for the Giants' other points.
LA Rams 29, Dallas 10
ANAHEIM, Calif. — LeRoy Irvin returned an interception 50 yards for a touchdown, and the Los Angeles Rams pushed Dallas to the brink of playoff elimination for only the third time since 1966 with a 29-10 victory over the Cowboys.
Dallas head coach Tom Landry received a series of telephone threats, according to a Cowboys statement, and left the field early in the fourth quarter surrounded by a police escort. However, Landry decided to return to the sidelines a few plays later under close security
and stayed for the rest of the game. There were no incidents, and Landry left the field by a different exit than the rest of the team.
Henry Ellard caught a 22-yard scoring pass from rookie Jim Everett in the second quarter, and Barry Redden bolted 41 yards for the clinching score in the final period as the Rams, 10-4, drew closer to their second NFC West title.
In losing their third straight and fifth in the last six games, the Cowboys were virtually eliminated from the playoffs. Dallas, which has not finished under 500 in 20 years, fell to 7-7.
Minnesota 32, Green Bay 6
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Tommy Kramer, returning after missing two weeks with a wrist injury, threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Anthony
Carter, and Minnesota converted three fumble recoveries and a blocked punt into touchdowns, carrying the Vikings to a 32-6 rout of the Green Bay Packers.
Chicago 48. Tampa Bay 14
CHICAGO — Quarterback Doug Flutie ran for one touchdown and threw for another to spark a 21-point second quarter, and Chicago's defense forced five turnovers, leading the Bears to a 48-14 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Flutie, who head coach Mike Ditkas had promised play, relieved Mike Tomezak in the second quarter. The former Heisman Trophy winner, who had seen brief action in Chicago's 23-3 Triumph over the Bucs in Tampa last month, scored on a 4-yard run and hit Payton on a 27-yard touchdown pass with 20 seconds left in the first half to move the Bears to a 28-0 halftime lead. Flutie completed of 17 throws for 79 yards in playing one quarter.
St. Louis 10, Philadelphia 10.
St. Louis NC Philadelphia to PHILADELPHIA – St Louis' Eric Schubert missed two field goals, and Philadelphia's Paul McFadden missed one in overtime as the Cardinals and Eagles played to a 10-10 tie.
Schubert had a 40-yard try blocked by Philadelphia's Reggie White with 10:55 to go, and his 37-yard attempt was wide right with five seconds to go in the extra period. McFadden failed from 43 yards with 1:32 left in the overtime.
St. Louis moved from its 26-yard line to the Philadelphia 20 as Neil Lomax completed six passes for 64 yards. Schubert's kick then faded to the right in the game's waning seconds. For the game, Lomax completed 30 of 48 passes for 390 yards.
