PRO FOOTBALL: Rams 16, Kansas City Chiefs 0 : Ram Review
- Share via
First Quarter: It would have been nice if someone had told Wayne Gandy that he’s not supposed to join in the Tomahawk Chop . . . Fred Stokes strings out play, forces Marcus Allen to lose three yards, and reporters in press box are in unanimous agreement: The Rams are going to win . . . Jessie Hester has now caught a pass in 66 consecutive games and Tori Spelling has been in every episode of Beverly Hills 90210 . . . Chris Chandler, who has started for Indy, Tampa and Phoenix, completes the doggy cycle and opens for the Rams . . . Linebacker Roman Phifer intercepts a pass, second of the year, and now has as many catches as wide receiver Chris Brantley . . . Rams 13, Chiefs 0 and that’s no typo.
Second Quarter: This guy Montana isn’t very good . . . Montana moves from San Francisco to Kansas City, but can’t get away from Earthquake, aka Sean Gilbert . . . Howard Griffith will be issued a pair of hands for the third quarter . . . Darryl Henley is indicted for pass interference . . . Gandy tells official he’s in the game, tells him again and again and you can imagine his surprise . . . Rams 13, Chiefs 0 and certainly that won’t hold up.
Third Quarter: Chris Martin gets flagged for holding--not holding on . . . Leo Goeas limps off, Chuck Belin runs on and lines up next to Gandy on right side; Neil Smith and Derrick Thomas glance at each other and wonder if this is some kind of joke . . . Rams run left . . . Neil Smith forced to leave the game, apparently winded from breezing past Gandy . . . Bettis goes on rampage, Rams add three more points and John Wayne Airport officials are advised to make arrangements for crowd control on Rams’ 6:11 p.m. expected arrival . . . Chiefs go to hurry-up offense, Rams show no mercy, bring on D’Marco Farr . . . Chiefs expected to dine on Ram turnovers, but can’t get to Chandler, have no luck with Bettis; what are they going to do against Aikman and Smith in the Super Bowl? Rams 16, Chiefs 0 and here come the Chiefs.
Fourth Quarter: Sean Landeta lines a punt 58 yards and Dan Reeves isn’t so smart after all; he let this guy go . . . Robert Bailey throws a tantrum after Willie Davis makes first-down catch; look how far the Rams have come--a year ago Bailey was throwing chairs after losses . . . Players go crazy knowing they are 2-2; dump Gatorade bucket on Knox . . . Rams 16, Chiefs 0 and there was never a doubt.
Game Summary: Chris Miller meet Wally Pipp . . . President Clinton arrived in Kansas City Saturday; Gandy still waiting for congratulatory phone call . . . Knox gives players Monday and Tuesday off . . . On airplane ride home, Ram players vote to award game ball to Georgia Frontiere. Formal presentation will be made once she returns from St. Louis.
