SUPER BOWL XXVII : The Spotlight : WHAT THEY’RE SAYING AROUND THE NATION

Without a crystal ball or Tarot cards, the Super Bowl XXVII coaches defined the difference in last night’s game two days before that difference developed.

“There’s only one ball,” Marv Levy, the Buffalo Bills’ doomsayer had said on Friday when asked what the key to the game would be. “We got to keep it and they got to try and take it away.”

But the Bills didn’t keep the ball, the Dallas Cowboys took it away. Nine times. Four interceptions. Five lost fumbles. Some bakeries don’t bake that many turnovers.
