Missed Field Goal
Dooms Chiefs’ Hopes
By VITO STELLINO
UPI Sports Writer
The Kansas City Chiefs’
entire 1967 season—their hopes
and dreams of avenging last
year’s Super Bowl rout—came
down to a field goal attempt
Bunday.
But strong-legged rookie Jan
Btenerud missed it—a 24-yard
attempt with 19 seconds left
which preserved the San Diego
Chargers’ 17-16 victory over the
Chiefs and virtually doomed the
Chiefs’ hopes of successfully
defending their American Foot
ball League title.
“What can I say? I Just
missed it," said the Stenerud,

extra point.
The Bulldogs-Cowboys game
was a rock ’em, sock ’em affair
from start to finish.
The final score was 6-6. The
two teams had five first downs
each and tied in penetrations
inside the 20 yard line with one
each.
The Bulldogs led in net yard
age 149 to 112. They were aw
arded the title on net yardage.
Charles Buckalew scored for
the Bulldogs and Kenny Hatta
way scored for the Cowboys.
Mark Pilcher ran for one tou
chdown and gathered in a touch
down pass from Bill Moore to
lead the Chargers to their vlc-
who booted the ball wide to the
right.
Although the snap from
center was low and Len Dawson
had trouble setitng the ball
down, Stenerud refused to shift
the blame. “It wasn’t the
greatest snap in the world but I
still should have kicked it,” he
said. Stenerud booted field goals
of 12, 48 and 22 yards in the
first half but also missed a 34-
yarder in the last period.
Not Machines
San Diego coach Sid Gillman,
who admitted he thought the
Chargers had lost the game
when Fred Arbansas caught a
Dawson pass on the 10-yard-line
with a minute left, said, “It
happens, no man is a machine.”
Although the Chiefs aren’t
mathematically eliminated yet,
the loss eliminated them for all
practical purposes—and the
Chiefs knew it. The loss left
them with a 6-4 record while
San Diego is 7-1-1 and Oakland
leads in the Western Division
with an 8-1 mark after beating
Miami 31-17.
The New York Jets remained
in first place in the Eastern
Division with a 7-2-1 record by
downing the Boston Patriots 29-
24. In the other game, Denver
upset Buffalo 21-20 as Mike
Mercer also missed a 24-yard
field goal attempt with 16
seconds left which would have
won the game. The victory
ended a nine game losing streak
for Denver.
“It’s a shame that we played
out hearts out and still lost the
game,” Kansas City coach
Hank Stram said. But the
Chiefs blew too many opportuni
ties deep in San Diego territory.
Mike Garrett, who was held to
83 yards in 26 carries, carried
the ball five times from the
one-yard line in two different
series of downs and couldn’t
score.
Kansas City was leading 16-10
in the final period when
Stenerud missed a 34-yard field
goal, giving the Chargers
possession on the 20. San Diego
then moved 80 yards in 13
plays, most of them sweeps by
Dick Post—who gained 108
yards in 18 carries—and Brad
Hubbert around the ends.
The TD came on a two-yard
flip by John Hadi to Lance
Alworth on a third down play—
Alworth’s only reception in the
game. “The TD pass was a
simple slant in,” Hadi said, “I
looked at Gary Garrison first
and he was covered and then I
saw Lance and he made a fine

15 of 23 passes for 300 yards, hit

Rams Explode In Fourth;
Falcons Fall Hard, 31 - 3
By DAVID M. MOFFIT
L’PI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (DPI) — “We fig
ured if we could keep it close
until a break came, we’d have
a chance to win. Unfortunately,
they got the break.”
The speaker was Atlanta
coach Norb Hecker summing up
his Falcons’ 31-3 loss Sunday to
the Los Angeles Rams. The
break he was talking about was
a pass Interception on the final
play of the third period that
turned a 7-3 defensive duel into
a Rams’ rout.
“We had played some of our
best ball of the season up to
that point,” Hecker noted. “We
had carried the fight to ’em and
turned back all but one of their
threats.”
True, but when Doug Woodllef
intercepted Randy Johnson’s
pass and ran it back to the At
lanta four yard line on the final
play of the third period — the
fight was all but over.
The Rams, close on the heels
of the unbeaten Baltimore Colts
in the race for the National
Football League’s coastal Divis
ion title, exploded for 24 points
in the final period.
Quarterback Roman Gabriel
slipped across from one yard
out on the second play of the
period and 2:34 later threw a
57-yard “bomb” to Bernie Cas
ey. That, incidentally, was Gab
riel’s second TD pass of the
day.
