Background
Rams kicker Frank Corral missed two first-half field goals. Safety Charlie Waters intercepted twice to set up Dallas touchdowns, and on the second Rams quarterback Pat Haden broke his thumb on Randy White's helmet, so Vince Ferragamo finished the game. Tony Dorsett ran for 101 yards, and a late Rams threat ended when Cullen Bryant fumbled at the 11-yard line.
