The touchdown that won today's divisional playoff game for the Cincinnati Bengals was a 16-yard pass from a veteran quarterback, Ken Anderson, to a rookie wide receiver, Cris Collinsworth. It came in the fifth minute of the final period, and it gave the Bengals a 28-21 victory over the Buffalo Bills. By winning, the Bengals advanced to the American Football Conference championship game, which will be played here at Riverfront Stadium Sunday against the San Diego Chargers. Collinsworth's touchdown was a positive play, but the most memorable one of the game was negative. Buffalo had an opportunity to tie the game with three minutes remaining when it made an apparent first down at the Cincinnati 16-yard line.

The head of Poland's military Government will meet the ambassadors of the 10 European Common Market countries in Warsaw Monday, the West German Foreign Ministry in Bonn said today. The ministry said that Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski, Poland's Prime Minister, had invited the envoys to the meeting. The talks will take place on the same day that the Foreign Ministers of the 10 European Community nations are due to meet in Brussels to discuss the Polish situation and Western Europe's reaction to it. With the shipyards at Gdansk, the birthplace of the Solidarity movement, scheduled to resume work tomorrow, the Warsaw Government promised to increase wages to offset some of the steep rises in the prices of staple goods, according to Polish broadcasts.

A new regulation limiting the number of taxicabs that can impose a 50-cent night surcharge went into effect in New York City on New Year's Day, and by the end of the holiday weekend some people were already avoiding the higher-priced cabs. Fleet cabs, about 20 percent of the 11,787 medallion taxis in the city, are still permitted the surcharge, notice of which must be displayed on both front doors. Nonfleet drivers can no longer impose the charge. The Sunday surcharge has been revoked.

SAN FRANCISCO IN their locker room, the other Giants were up and around. Some were shaking hands with each other. Some were in the shower. Some were in the trainer's room, slicing the tape off their ankles. And some were already getting dressed. But at his locker, Gary Jeter, still in his uniform, was sitting on a stool with his head down and his back to everybody else, almost as if he didn't want to face his teammates. ''He was holding me,'' Gary Jeter was saying now of Dan Audick, the offensive tackle who had lined up against him throughout the 49ers' 38-24 victory yesterday. ''The play was over, and he kept pushing me downfield.''
