All NFL game summaries for 11/10/1974:
Otis Armstrong romped for 110 yards and Barney Chavous led a Denver defensive unit that sacked Marty Domres five times. Bill Thompson contributed two interceptions and a 60-yard punt return to the Broncos' victory. Domres, playing with a painfully injured breastbone, completed 19 of 43 passes. Lydell Mitchell caught 11 of the passes for 90 yards, only one short of the Colts' record of 12 catches by Raymond Berry in 1957.

Houston won its third straight for the first time since 1971 and dropped Buffalo into a tie with Miami for the AFC East lead by intercepting six of Joe Ferguson's passes. Ferguson had only four passes picked off in eight previous games. Dan Pastorini passed for one score and directed a ground attack for two more while the Oilers held the Bills to three field goals by John Leypoldt. O. J. Simpson reinjured an ankle and left the game in the second half.

Ken Anderson completed 20 of 22 passes and broke two NFL records and then made a game-saving tackle to move the Bengals within a half game of the leading Steelers in the AFC Central Division. Anderson went into the game with a string of eight consecutive completions and increased the total to 16, topping the league record set by Len Dawson in 1967 and equaled by Joe Namath the same year. Anderson's 90.9 percentage for his 20-of-22 topped the record of 86.21 set by Ken Stabler last year with 25-of-29. Doug Dressler caught nine passes and backup RB Ed Williams scored two touchdowns.

After the 49ers took a 14-13 lead in the fourth period, the Cowboys marched 70 yards in seven plays for the winning touchdown, a six-yard run by Calvin Hill, for their fourth straight victory. It was San Francisco's seventh loss in a row. Hill set Dallas club records for most rushing attempts, 32, and most rushing yards, 153, in posting the best 1974 single-game rushing performance in the NFC. He also scored a one-yard touchdown in the first period. Drew Pearson's four receptions for 100 yards marked the fourth game in which he gained at least 100 yards.

San Diego won its second straight and split the season series with Kansas City on a 71-yard touchdown pass to Gary Garrison by rookie Jesse Freitas, making his first appearance in a league game after Dan Fouts was injured. The winning score came two plays after the Chiefs had tied the score on an 84-yard pass from Len Dawson to Larry Brunson, who caught eight for 193 yards. Dawson set a club record with 26 completions in 44 attempts, topping his own mark of 25 in 1963 and 1966.

James Harris completed only five passes but two of them traveled 40 and 25 yards to Harold Jackson for touchdowns and Lawrence McCutcheon rushed for 140 yards -- his fifth trip over 100 this season -- as the Rams increased their Western Division lead to four games. The shutout was Los Angeles' second of the year. Atlanta was coached by Marion Campbell, who was elevated from defensive coordinator to replace Norm Van Brocklin five days before the game.

Greg Pruitt returned the opening kickoff 88 yards, the longest of the season in the AFC, and Thom Darden went 29 yards after recovering a fumble to give the Browns a running start against the Patriots in the first two minutes. After New England fought back to tie on two touchdowns by Sam Cunningham, a 25-yard punt return by Pruitt set up a winning four-yard run by Ken Brown. Cleveland had kicked an apparent tie-breaking field goal before Brown scored, but New England was offside and the Browns took the first down and went for the touchdown. Pruitt accounted for 196 yards overall and Darden had two interceptions.

The Giants won the toss at the outset of the overtime and drove to the Jets' 25 but, on fourth down, Pete Gogolak missed a 42-yard field goal attempt. Namath's touchdown pass climaxed a 75-yard drive. The Jets tied the game in regulation on a three-yard run by Namath in the fourth period.

Ken Stabler put on a fine passing show, completing 20 of 24 for 248 yards and two touchdowns as Oakland ran its winning streak to eight games and snapped the Lions' string at four. Cliff Branch caught both TD passes and had five for 102 yards while Marv Hubbard ran for 111 yards on 16 carries, his third straight 100-plus day. Dan Conners' two interceptions boosted the Raiders' AFC-leading total to 21. Greg Landry, who suffered a fractured left shoulder in the preseason, returned to action in relief of Bill Munson late in the game.

The Redskins fell behind 20-7 before linebacker Chris Hanburger fell on a fumble to reduce the deficit to 20-14, then Sonny Jurgensen entered in the third period and directed scoring drives for a pair of field goals and threw a winning touchdown pass of 30 yards to Charley Taylor with 2:13 remaining. Taylor had nine receptions for 155 yards and boosted his career total to 568 for third place on the NFL all-time receiving list. A late Philadelphia march for a possible tie was halted when Ken Stone intercepted a Roman Gabriel pass on the Washington 3.
