Page 6, The Herald, Tuesday, December 19, 1976 Wild card unlucky If eight years of National Football League playoffs are any indication, the winners of next Sunday's wild-card round will have a tough time making it to the Super Bowl. This first round of playoffs is @ novelty, In previous — seasons just one wild-card (runner-up) team in each conference joined the three division winners, Usually that wild-card team played the conference's top winner in the opening round. This year, though, each conference has two wild cards— Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Faleons in the National Conference, Houston Oilers and Miami Dolphins in the American Conference. They'll conduct an added week of playoffs while the six division winners—Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams in the NEC, New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Bronco in the AFC— take the weekend off, In the NEC, if Atlanta beats Philadelphia, the Falcons will play Dallas and Minnesota will ‘play Los Angeles in the second round. If the Eagles win, they'll play Los Angeles and Minnesota will play Dallas, In the AFC, if Houston beats Miami, the Qilers will play New England and Denver will play Pittsburgh in the second round, If the Dolphins win they'll play Pittsburgh and Denver will play New England. Whichever two survivors enter the Dec. 30-31 second round, they'll outsiders at best to make it to the Jan. 21 NFL cham- pionship in Miami's Orange ‘Bowl. ; Since the wild-card con- . cept was created in 1970 in the wake of the merger with the American League, only one wild-card be rated. Football . team has made il to the Super Bowl—the 1975 Cow- boys. They shocked Minnesota 17-14 on Roger Staubach’s touchdown pass in the waning seconds of the opening-round game, rolled aver Los Angeles 37-7 on Staubach's four TD passes in the NFC title game, then succumbed 21-17 to Pitt- sburgh Steelers in the Super Bow! game, also in Miami. fxeluding thal Cowhoys- Vikings game, there were 15. firsiround games involving wild cards, Only three of those wildcard teams made it to the second round— Baltimore Colts in 1971, Dallas in '72 and Oakland _ Raiderrs last year. Those three were beaten in con- ference championshipe—the Colts by Miami, the Cowboys by Washington Redskins and the Raiders by Denver Broncos. ee “e nit COLOGNE SPRAY MIST 1 oz. spray mist.
