PRO FOOTBALL—USFL: Michigan, Memphis and New Jersey snatched victory from the jaws of defeat with fourth-quarter turnarounds against San Antonio, New Orleans and Chicago, respectively. The Panthers trailed the Gunslingers 17-10 with 46 seconds to play when Michigan running back Anthony Allen caught a Whit Taylor pass and scrambled four yards into the end zone to force the game into overtime.

Memphis's Alan Duncan split the goalposts twice, from 45 and 52 yards, in the final two minutes of play to edge the Breakers 20-17 at home.

No love was lost along the way. "The game wasn't 10 seconds old, and they were hammering [our] guys off the ball," complained Steamer forward Don Ebert after Game 2.
