Notes:  What begins as a defensive battle turns into a scoring bonanza.  Both teams slug it out on the ground through the first half, with Seattle scoring two of their touchdowns in the game by running the ball, including a great handoff to Brinson to put them on the board.  Kansas City QB Steve Fuller finally gets into a groove late in the third quarter and, with the help of a defensive TD, leads the Chiefs to victory.  Seattle QB Jim Zorn throws 5 INTs.

Thanks Gil!
