New England 28 Indianapolis 7

Doug Flutie

New England in survival mode ride their stingy hard hitting defense into a much needed victory.  After holding Indy to 3 an out, Irving Fryar returns a punt 18 yards to the indy 38. 2 plays later Flutie, who was extremely efficient all game hit Stanley morgan on a deep seam and an early 7-0 lead. later in the 1st new England strips Dickerson of the ball and recovers on the NE 48 (this was the 1st of 5 Indy turnovers). NE again used the short field and Flutie hit Fryar from 4 yards out and a 14-0 halftime lead. new England took the 2nd half kick off and built their lead to 21 , the big plays a Flutie to Fryar 60 yard slant, and then on 4th and 4 a Flutie to Fryar hookup for 22 and a TD. Hogeboom replaced Chandler for Indy and had some success, throwing a 13 yard TD pass to Boyer early in 4th quarter. New England would strip sack Hogeboom late in 4th quarter and Raymond Claiborne returned it 32 yards for the final TD and 28-7 victory. the key to the game was easily Indy turning the ball over 5X, while New England for the first time did not commit a turnover.

San Francisco 33 Detroit 7

The Lions recover a 1st quarter fumble and march for the opening score to lead 7 - 0. After that it was basically the Roger Craig show as he scores two TD's and leads the 49ers to a 33 - 7 win at home. The weirdest play was when Mike Cofer set up for a short FG and when the snap was botched the holder (Punter Barry Helton) somehow finds a hole and dives over for the TD???? Just goes to show you never know what may happen.
