	eReader.com: Excerpt from Walter Payton
		Instead of sending Payton to the strong side, where the tight end could help seal off the corner, he had number 34 running a sweep to the more exposed weak side.
		Payton had gained more than 1,400 yards during the regular season, and the Bears knew that the New England defense would have to key on him.
		In their Super Bowl scheme, therefore, they often employed Payton as a decoy: McMahon would fake a hand-off to Payton, drawing the defenders toward him, and then either throw to an open receiver or hand off to the Bears' number two back, Matt Suhey.
