Broncos Face Earl Campbell as Houston Brings Wild Card Test
Denver linebacker Randy Gradishar says stopping Earl Campbell is crucial but not the sole plan in the AFC wild-card playoff at the Astrodome. Coach Red Miller notes Oilers will mix runs and play action behind Dan Pastorini and receivers Ken Burrough and Mike Barber. Jonathan Gradishar and the Broncos also contend a strong Houston passing game and a bruising backfield, while Bum Phillips stresses the Broncos focus on interceptions over sacks.
