Franco Harris had a pair of TD runs including a huge back breaker for 27 yards in the 4th quarter.  John Stallworth caught 3 passes for 117 yards and Terry Bradshaw lit up the airways with a 15-20-222 stat lint...but the real story was the turnovers that befell the Pats and the turnovers that the Steelers did not experience.  New England turned the ball over 4 times, which included 3 picks thrown by Drew Bledsoe.  Pittsburgh fumbled the ball 5 times, but managed to recover 3 of those fumbles to minimize the damage.  the Steelers owned the Red Zone by going 3 for 3 and actually got a good performance from their embattled place kicker David Trout.  Both teams saw their record move to 2-3 in the ultra competitive AFC.

Rich Stadium
Denver led 14-13 at the half, but fell victim to Buffalo's high octane offense in the second half.  A 1 yard TD run by Thurman Thomas and a 11 yard aerial strike from Jim Kelly to TE Penet Metzelaars helped make the difference as the Broncos managed just a lone Jason Elam FG in the second half.  Kelly had a perfect day behind center going 28-33-268-2TD, while his opposite number (John Elway) could only manage 18-33-210-INT.  Denver was held to 34 yards on the ground the resurgent Bill defense.  Anthony Miller led all receivers with 6 grabs for 110 yards.  Ray Jacobs had a busy day on defense for Denver with 7 solo tackles.  Both teams left the contest with identical 3-2 records.

Yankee Stadium
Dallas jumped out to a quick 10-0 lead in the 1st quarter thanks to a Richie Cunningham 44 yard FG and a 1 yard toss from Troy Aikman to Michael Irvin.  Dallas' defense and a 10 mile hour cross wind did a great job of stymieing the Giants aerial attack until Earl Morrall hit Del Shofner in stride for a 38 yard pitch and catch for a quick strike TD.  With the score 10-7 the Cowboys went on an 11 play / 77 yard odyssey to Paydirt, which culminated in a 1 yard Emmitt Smith plunge.  New York cut Dallas' lead to 17-10 when Andy Stynchula clanked home a 32 yard FG with 2:27 left to play in the 3rd.  Stynchula kicked a 31 yarder with 8:26 remaining in the 4th to make it 17-13.  With 7:51 left to play in the game Toby Gowin hit a 53 yard coffin corner punt that put the G-men on their 1 yard line.  A Tucker Frederickson 9 yard run gave the Giants some much needed breathing room and 2 plays later they converted for a key first down as Ernie Wheelwright blasted up the middle for 5 yards.  Morrall hit TE Aaron Thomas for an 18 yard strike and Frederickson ran for 27 yards 2 plays later to put the ball on the Cowboy 32.  Morrall hit Thomas then Homer Jones for 1st downs before Frederickson cut to the outside for a 13 yard TD run to make it 20-17 with 3:51 left to play in regulation.  Herschel Walker fumbled the ensuing kickoff and the Giants took over on Dallas' 39, but could not move the ball.  The Cowboys got it back with 2:20 left to play on their own 20, but could not net a 1st down and eventually turned the ball over to NY on downs.  Big Blue improved their record to a perfect 5-0, while Dallas dropped to 2-3.  Joe Morrison had  6 catch 123 yard day for New York thanks to Earl Morrall going 23-47-316-TD.
