Cleveland's Frank Ryan faded, stood up in the slot, and looked for his receiver, Gary Collins. Firing a waist-high bullet pass, he hit Collins in the end zone. This was the first touchdown in last week's National Football League championship between the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Colts (see SPORT).
