Murphy is Scott Roper, a San Francisco cop making up his own rules in edgy face-offs with the criminal class of the Bay Area. Roper is no Dirty Eddie; he's a negotiator who has to ingratiate himself with the malefactors before he can blow their heads off. This offers plenty of chances for Murphy-style comedy, none of which writer Randy Feldman or director Thomas Carter bothered to exploit. Except for a decent scene in which Roper mimics a white bandit as a test for his galoot partner (Michael Rapaport), there's no room for Eddie...

The Carolina defense did the rest, intercepting Troy Aikman twice in the fourth quarter and holding Emmit Smith to 80 yards on 22 carries as they allowed only six points in the second half, to set up their playoff game against Green Bay. In a fog-bound game at Foxboro, the "Blitzburgh" Steelers saw the frenzied defense that has been their strength turned against them. "They only had one blitz that surprised us," Patriots fullback Keith Byars said. It certainly wasn't on the Patriot's opening offensive play, when Drew Bledsoe took...
