3A CHART — Here's how Brownwood and
Gainesville qualified for Saturday’s State
28-25...
Brownwood and Gainesville
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Houston running back Earl Camp-
bell has gained more yards in forward gear than anyone else in
the National Football League this season, but it was a five-yard
sprint in reverse that showed his poise in the Oilers’ 17-12 victory
over New Orleans Sunday.
Campbell scooped up a fumble and deliberately ran it out of
the end zone for a safety, depriving New Orleans of an almost
certain touchdown that—as it turned out — would have sent the
game into overtime.
The victory clinched an AFC wild card playoff berth for the
Oilers.
With Houston backed up on its own 21-yard line and holding a
17-7 lead in the fourth quarter Sunday, Oiler quarterback Dan

Pastorini fumbled the snap from center backward.
New Orleans defensive end Don Reese tried to pick up the ball
at the 4, but he merely batted it into the end zone. Before New
Orleans defenders could catch up with the ball, Campbell
scooped it up and ran out of the back of the end zone.
Campbell, a rookie who has gained 1,369 yards rushing this
season, said he instantly made up his mind about what to do.
“You know what I was thinking about when I was looking at
the ball roll around back there? I was thinking about Oakland
when they batted the ball in for a touchdown,” he said.
"That's the first thing that entered my mind. It was probably
one of the quickest decisions I ever made. I just knew the ball
wasn’t supposed to go the other way.”
Campbell, playing with broken ribs, scored Houston's First
touchdown of the game on a 2-yard run in the first quarter, and
Toni Fritsch booted a 22-yard field goal in the second quarter.
Then, after the Saints had narrowed the gap to 10-7 on a six-
yard pass from Archie Manning to Tinker Owens, the smallest
player on the field made the biggest play of the day.
Wide receiver Robert Woods, 5-foot-7 and 170 pounds, hooked
up with Pastorini on an 80-yard scoring play. Pastorini’s pass
accounted for eight yards, and Woods got the rest by slipping by
Saints cornerback Maurice Spencer and then outrunning safties
Ray Brown and Tom Myers.
“I knew I had to get the touchdown," Woods said after the
game. "The desire was so great, I knew nobody would catch
me."
The Saints got a 21-yard Field goal with two minutes left in the
game, but it was too little too late for them.
The Oilers haven't been in post-season play since the 1967
season, when Oakland whipped Houston 40-7 for the American
Football League championship.
Houston and Miami both go into the final week of the regular
season with 10-5 records and guaranteed playoff berths. Should
they end the season tied, Houston gets the home Field advantage
by virtue of a 35-30 victory over Miami three weeks ago.
Should Houston lose to San Diego Sunday and Miami beat New
England Monday night, the playoff game would be held in
Miami.
