Notes:  QB Steve Bono finds WR Chris Penn in the corner of the end zone to start the KC scoring fest.  CB Dale Carter is next with a 46-yard touchdown catch, his first play on the offensive side of the ball.  

 

The Seahawks finally get on the board with a field goal at 9:05 of the second quarter.  After a Seahawks penalty paves the way for RB Marcus Allen to score a touchdown, RB Steve Broussard snaps off an 86-yard kickoff return that sets Seattle up on the KC 12.  A false start and a sack take away their touchdown chances, and K Todd Peterson misses the 40-yard attempt.

 

QB Rick Mirer cuts the Chiefs lead to 11 when he muscles the ball into the end zone.

 

Despite sacking the quarterback 6 times, Kansas City’s -2 turnover differential allows the Seahawks to stay in it until midway through the fourth quarter, when CB Mark Collins picks off a pass in the end zone intended for WR Joey Galloway.  The Chiefs run the ball on the ensuing drive, chewing up over 3 minutes and notching another touchdown when Marcus Allen drives it in, moving into 3^rd place on the career rushing touchdown list with his 105th.

 

Marcus Allen becomes the 8^th player ever with 11,000 career rushing yards and reaches third on the all-time rushing TD list with 105.

 

Thanks Steven!
