Livingston threw scoring strikes of five Yards to Gary but Ler in the first Quarter and 24 Yards to  in the second Quarter then scampered three Yards for the third touchdown in the third Quarter. The six year pro from sum filling in for the injured Len Dawson has a 12-2 record As a starter including three in a Row this season. Kansas City s third touchdown on its second Possession of the second half clinched the verdict. The chiefs stayed on the ground All the Way rolling 55 Yards in nine plays.

Lanier created another touch Down with 1 11 remaining when he hounded Dickey into a Fumble and Rookie John Lohmeyer picked it up and ran 19 Yards for the last touchdown. Houston coach Sid Gillman used both Dickey and Dan Pastorini at quarterback but the oilers failed to generate any kind of attack until the game was out of reach. The oilers finally scored with six seconds left in the third Quarter when Bob Gresham took a swing pass from Dickey and Bolt Tou believe him a Little bit More drama and controversy in jets loss by Dave Anderson Cincinnati not when the game ended in drama and controversy with the new York jets a foot away from the touch Down that would have averted a 20-14 loss to the Cincinnati Ben gals sunday Joe Namath crouched in despair his hands this helmet. I Don t know where the time went the quarterback would say later. Where did the time go in the confusion the jets had failed to get off a play As the clock ran out. Moments earlier the officials had stopped the clock momentarily with five seconds remaining. That s because the bengals were Messing around Namath said. I did t hear an official say the clock had been  dramatic flair with 19 seconds. Remaining Namath with his flair for the dramatic intact despite his absence from seven games because of a shoulder separation had passed the jets inside the Ben gals 1-Yard line. Now in the huddle he called two plays in order to avoid wasting time in another huddle if a second play was needed. Nineteen straight this play 10 straight the next play Namath said. Got that 19 straight this time 10 straight the next  when the jets lined up the bengals jumped offside. The penalty moved the jets to within a foot of the goal line. Namath considered a quarterback sneak but he stayed with the 19 straight on which Cliff Mcclain would carry the Ball off left tackle. There was a Gap that wide Over there Namath explained later but when Mcclain ran there two Bengal linebackers Bill Ber Gey and Doug Adams closed the Gap. Mcclain was stopped. Wit no timeouts remaining the jets hurried to line up for another play before time expired. Jet s Joe Namath in last Quarter. Where did the time go same thing Namath was Yelling presumably to fool the Bengal defenders. Same  1 in the huddle Namath had told John Schmitt the jets Center to snap the Ball on the second color that he called. But now he whispered to Schmitt to snap the Ball on the first sound. In the con fusion Schmitt did t hear the quarterback s instructions. I Felt his hands on me Schmitt said of Namath after the jets lined up but the next thing i knew the game was  and the jets had lost just As they had lost in a somewhat Sim Ilar drama two years ago to the san Francisco 49ers, 24-21, at Shea stadium when Namath re turning after recuperating from knee surgery threw three touch Down passes but was intercepted in his attempt for a fourth in the final minute. We lost but Why the quarterback said As he sat at his locker. We were so close. Why could t it have been Namath not Only excited the spectators he also excited his Jet teammates and his Bengal opponents. Randy Rasmussen the jets guard who was a Rookie when Namath guided the jets to their super bowl Victory five sea sons ago perhaps Best described the atmosphere in the jets huddle when Namath appeared. It gets you on your toes Rasmussen said. Just the Way he says things you believe him. You believe other people but you believe him a Little bit  bengals chargers set Down saints continued from Page 21 Yard Field goal by Horst muh Mann.
