New Jersey edged Los Angeles in a close battle on Friday. Led by Herschel Walker, who seems to be making a late season push for league MVP, the win stands as a lone bright spot in an otherwise forgetful season. Walker ran for 155 yards and 1 touchdown in the game.
Los Angeles tried to pull ahead late in the game, but managed only the field goal to bring the deficit to one. The loss puts them at 5-11 on the season, with only two victories since leading the west at 3-2 after week 5. Rumors that the Express might draft Steve Young next year bring hope to a fan base that certainly lost much of their early optimism.
