47 by Johnny Unitas.
“Regardless of whether you get
pressure on him, he’s going to get
the ball off.” Bills defensive end
Bruce Smith said of Marino. “But
we got so much pressure on him,
he was always aware of who was
around.”
The day began with all five
teams in the division at 5-5. Buffa

Jets now are 6-5, with Miami and
New England one game back.

Clayton and Mark Duper, until
midway through the third quarter.
Miami Coach Don Shula said he
didn’t see much to be happy about
in the game. “The only thing we
had today was Reggie Roby’s
punting.”

early-season overtime game, giv
