THE CARDINAL RULE: PROTECT YOUR QUARTERBACK AND PIZZA HUT

          Pizza Hut officials in MD "altered their pizza giveaway
     promotion" around the Ravens because they were "nervous"
     about the Cardinals offensive line, according to Steve
     Schoenfeld of the ARIZONA REPUBLIC.  After customers
     received $9 off a large pizza after nine sacks by the Ravens
     last week, Pizza Hut said it wouldn't pay for more than five
     sacks on Sunday because the Cardinals have allowed an NFL-
     leading 54 sacks on the season.  The Cardinals' "much-
     maligned line" gave up only two sacks in their 16-13 victory
     over the Ravens.  Cards OT Lomas Brown: "They thought they
     were going to have a field day with us.  At least the Pizza
     people are happy with us" (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 11/24).
