Notes:  Al Hunter rushed for 133 yards and scored two touchdowns as Seattle became the first third-year team in NFL history to win nine games in a season.  Hunter’s second touchdown came on a fourth-and-one play and gave the Seahawks a 20-3 lead.  Kansas City’s Tony Reed followed with a 62-yard run to cut the Seattle lead to 20-17.  Reed rushed 11 times for 121 yards and finished the season with 1,053 yards, the most by a Kansas City back since Mike Garrett gained 1,087 in 1967.  Seattle’s Steve Largent captured the AFC receiving crown with 71 catches for 1,168 yards and eight touchdowns.  Look for Erin Gray selling Dr. Grabow pipes.

Thanks Doug!
