Humphrey was awarded a sweep where he gained about three yards. 4. Richard was hit hard by Lea and fell in the backfield for a loss of a yard. 5. Wilkins unloaded for about a 40 yard pass to Humphrey. The pass was a little underthrown, but Hunphrey appeared to be open before Williams jumped on him and was called for pass interference. 6. Ballage was thrown a screen paaa and tackled just before the line of scrimmage. 7. Wilkins pitched it to Ballage and he gained about four yards.

Barnett: 1. Barnett turned and threw a screen pass to Chatman. Chatman bolted up the field beside the sideline for nearly 15 yards. 2. Smith then ran the ball for about five yards. 3. Smith was awarded an inside handoff where he notched about four yards. 4. Smith was given the ball for third time stratight, but this time was stopped after two yards.
