Notes:  Joe Montana in his first NFL start led his team to a 3-0 lead in the first half.  San Francisco’s Steve DeBerg passed for 135 yards in the second half to bring his season total to a club-record 3,121 yards, surpassing John Brodie’s 3,112 yards set in 1965. Ottis Anderson scored on a six-yard run with 2:53 remaining to lift the Cardinals to their fourth victory of the year. Anderson gained 129 yards on 27 carries and set an NFL rookie rushing record with his eighth 100-yard game.  Carl Allen’s interception in the final two minutes preserved the Cardinals’ victory.

 

Look for Ed McMahon selling Fords and Cheryl Tiegs for Olympus cameras.
