Joiner’s TD “the biggest” —

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Like
a proud old prize fighter, San
Diego wide receiver Charlie
Joiner kept coming off the
mat, In the end, he delivered
the knockout punch.

“Charlie tock such a beat-
ing,"’ said Chargera coach
Don Coryell, “but he kept
coming back and playing."

Joiner, 32, capped his
finest National Football
League season with a 32-
yard touchdown reception
from Dan Fouts that gave
the Chargers a 17-7 victory
over Denver Broncos on
Monday night.

By dethroning Denver as
AFC West champs, San
Diego, 12-4, ended a 14-year
title drought and gained the
home fleld advantage
throughout the playoffs.
Denver, 10-4, must travel to
Houston on Sunday for a
battle of wild card clubs.

Joiner, nursing 12 stitches
over his right eye and a
painful hip bruise, called his
touchdown the biggeat ‘‘of
my career.”

With John Jefferson, San
Diego's most dangerous
reciever, sidelined with a rib
injury, Joiner became a
marked man — the key man
in the Chargers’ aerial
circus.

His third-quarter touch-
down, which broke a 7-7 tie,
came after he was knocked
out of the game with the hip
injury minutes into the

game. Shortly after the
touchdown he was kayoed
again, suffering a cut over
the eye, but returned after a
second trip for medical care.

“They weren't cheap
shots,” said Joiner. “I was
just the victim of cir-
cumstances,"

Joiner's touchdown catch
helped Fouts make history.
