42, 1977 Cardinals 21: CLEVELAND, OH (AP)--
The Cardinals came into the game with high hopes based on their world class offense. Unfortunately for them their sub par defense let them down after sustaining some back breaking injuries at key positions. Cleveland led by the brothers Pruitt (Greg & Mike) dominated the flow of the game. Greg (pictured left) ran for 110 yard and 1 TD on just 15 carries. Brother Mike had 2 TD runs and was the perfect complement to his All-Pro brother. Brian Sipe was efficient and threw only when he had to. He threw for just under 200 yards and two big TD's. The Cardinals relied heavily on one Mr. Terry Metcalf, who caught 7 passes, rushed 8 times and had 8 KO/PR's. Jim Hart had a disappointing day and accumulated most of his stats in garbage time late in the fourth while Cleveland sat back in prevent. (contributed by Distant Replay) |
