Grade:  Excellent.  A great quality game.

 

Notes:    James Jefferson runs back the opening kickoff for a touchdown, and Seattle dominates the first half even though they can’t get in the end zone again.  QB Dave Krieg and the Seahawks offense do their best, but the Chiefs, with the NFL’s #3 defense, holds them to just 3 field goals.  In the second half, QB Ron Jaworski leads the KC offense to score 17 unanswered points.  Christian Okoye has a career day, rushing for 157 yards and a TD on 30 carries.  The Chiefs score their first road win since 1986, and their first win in Seattle since 1981.  A good game from the early days of the Schottenheimer era.

Thanks Bruce!
