and ran for the decisive score
as the San Francisco Forty
Niners captured the National
Conference Western Divison
title with a 31-27 victory over
the Detroit Lions. San Francis
co needed the victory since Los
Angeles had beaten Pittsburgh
earlier 23-14 and the Rams
would have taken the crown if
the Forty Niners had faltered.
And on the East Coast, two
members of Stanford’s class of
’7O —Jim Plunkett and Randy
Vataha —combined their tal
ents to lead the New England
Patriots to a stunning 21-17
upset of the Baltimore Colts.
Plunkett threw two TD passes
to Vataha, the second an 88-
yard play —as the Patriots
toppled the Colts from the AFL
Eastern Division title.
The Colt loss, combined with
Miami’s 27-6 rout of Green Bay,
gave the Dolphins the Eastern
title and dropped the Colts to
second, though Baltimore still
qualifies for the playoffs as
best second place team.
Playoff Lineup
The playoff picture shapes up
this way:
In the National Conference,
Minnesota, tile Central winner,
plays host to Dallas, which
wraped up the Eastern crown
Saturday with a 31-12 triumph
over St. Louis, on Christmas
Day. The Vikings are early
three-point favorites.
And Washington, the “wild
card” team with the best
second-place finish in the NFC,
is at San Francisco Sunday,
with the Forty Niners an early
line four-point choice.
In the AFC, Miami is at
Kansas City Christmas Day,
with the Chiefs a four-point
pick, and Cleveland plays host
to Baltimore Sunday, with the
Colts favored by four.
In other NFL action Sunday,
Cleveland upset Washington 20-
13, Philadelphia routed the New
York Giants 41-28, Atlanta
edged New Orleans 24-20,
Minnesota downed Chicago 27-
10, the New York Jets defeated
Cincinnati 35-21, Kansas City
whipped Buffalo 22-9, Houston
outlasted San Diego 49-33 and
Oakland beat Denver 21-13.
Brodie Joins Elite Group
Brodie threw TD passes of 12
yards to Dick Witcher, 10 to
Ken Willard and 30 to Gene
Washington to become only the
seventh quarterback in NFL
history to throw more than 200
TD passes. He ran 10 yards for
the final TD.
The Forty Niners’ final
march came after Detroit
quarterback Greg Landry was
foiled in a fourth-and-one
attempt at the San Francisco
40.
Plunkett, whose two TD
passes set a record for an NFL
rookie, hit Vataha with the 88-
yard bomb on a third-and-11
situation on the New England
12 and caught the Colts
completely by surprise. “As I
walked up to the line, I thought,
damn, what did I do,” said
Plunkett. “But then I figured if

Vataha raced past rookie
cornerback Rex Kern and set a
club reception record with 51.
The 1,000-Yard Club
Larry Csonka and Jim Kiick
drove over for one-yard TDs in
the third period to help Miami
over Green Bay and give the
Dolphins the Eastern title.
Csonka’s 67 yards gave him
1,051 —the first time a Miami
player has surpassed the 1,000-
yard mark. Green Bay’s John
Brockington gained 73 yards to
finish with 1,099 and break the
rookie record set by Cookie
Gilchrist by three yards.
Duane Thomas’ four TDs
Saturday carried the Cowboys
to their sixth straight title.
Thomas scored three times on
three-yard rushes and added a
53-yard run.
