In a 1979 divisional playoff game against the San Diego Chargers, Carpenter filled in for an injured Earl Campbell, leading the team in rushing with 67 yards while also catching 4 passes for 23 yards in a 17–14 upset victory ...... despite being barely recovered from a knee injury himself, as he was still literally on crutches just before the start of the game.

I'm getting way off base here. But what I most remember about that game is Fouts throwing 4 int's to one guy.
