Meanwhile, the NINERS are the kind club that blows teams out, and they've got plenty of issues, from that Chiefs debacle to the injury to Garrison Hearst to Fast Eddie DeBartolo's latest legal tussles, to work out on a Vikings team that's starting, believe it or not, Randall Cunningham. Finally, the STEELERS and phat back Jerome Bettis only giving one and a half to a Broncos team that has made every back look like Jim Brown...
