ABC Sports Online

In one of the most exciting fourth quarters in league history, the teams combined to score 41 points amid disastrous weather. Baltimore rallied for 27 points in the fourth behind Joe Joe Washington, who threw a 54-yard TD pass and caught a 23-yard pass to give the Colts a 20-13 lead, which Roger Roger Carr later extended to 27-13. But a Steve Grogan TD run with 3:22 to go and Sam Cunningham's 1-yard TD run with 1:32 remaining tied the game. But Joe Washington took the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for the game-winning touchdown.
