PRO FOOTBALL—The NFL's field-goal kickers put their best feet—or insteps—forward in preseason play. Philadelphia's Tony Franklin, erratic last season, struck from 44, 47 and 49 yards in the Eagles' 36-20 defeat of Pittsburgh, and Kansas City's Nick Lowery hit two in a 13-0 shutout of Chicago. St. Louis' Neil O'Donoghue had three field goals in a 30-21 win over Seattle, the Sea-hawks' 10th straight defeat at home. Cleveland beat Buffalo 13-10 on Dave Jacobs' 32-yard FG, and Joe Danelo's three-pointer—from 29 yards with three seconds remaining—gave the Giants a 20-17 win over Baltimore. With Tampa Bay trailing New England 17-16 and 12 seconds left, the Buccaneers' Garo Yepremian tried valiantly from 49 yards, but the ball bounced off the crossbar. Another old pro, Jan Stenerud, was more successful, connecting on a club-record 53-yarder in Green Bay's 34-14 defeat of Oakland. The Pack, win-less in the 1980 preseason but 2-0 this year, got a 5-for-5 performance and one TD from Quarterback Lynn Dickey in his only full quarter of play. Other signal-callers also made their mark in brief appearances. Jack Thompson threw 20 yards for one score, then set up another with a fourth-quarter, 60-yard bomb in Cincinnati's 30-20 defeat of the Lions, and second-string QB Don Strock threw—and connected on—all six of his passes in a decisive 78-yard TD drive during Miami's 24-14 defeat of Denver. A surprise passer, Redskins Back Joe Washington, threw for one score, and then ran for another as the Skins thumped Minnesota 27-13. Nine of Pat Haden's 11 passes in a 34-21 Los Angeles loss to New England on Monday night were caught—four by Patriot defenders. But Haden bounced back on Saturday in a 33-21 victory over Dallas, completing 17 of 25 passes with only one interception (page 20). In other games, Atlanta survived a late Jets' charge to win 21-20; Dwight Scales grabbed a tipped Ed Luther pass to complete a 73-yard scoring play in San Diego's 31-28 defeat of San Francisco; and Bum Phillips' New Orleans Saints drubbed Houston, his former team, 27-7 as rookie George Rogers scored two TDs.
