 | | The Chiefs, the A.F.C.'s Western champion, had two distinct chances to win the game before Yepremian swung his left foot in his soccer- style manner and put the Eastern champion Dolphins into a championship game for the first time in their six-year existence. |
 | | The man who had, and missed, both chances was Jan Stenerud, the Norwegian soccer-style kicker who beat out Yepremian on the A.F.C. team for the N.F.L. All-Star game next month, despite having scored 7 fewer points than Garo's leagueleading total of 117. |
 | | This time Stenerud tried a field goal from the 42, but the snap from center was a little high and Nick Buoniconti, the man who lost the coin toss, smashed through and blocked the kick. |
