LOS ANGELES (AP) - Los Angeles clinched a berth in the playoffs when Steve Young threw for one touchdown and ran 47 yards for another to lead the Express to a 24-19 victory over the Oakland Invaders Friday.

The Express had to survive a last-second Oakland drive, which ended with quarterback Fred Besana's pass being knocked away in the end zone as time ran out. Oakland had a seven-game winning streak snapped.
