Notes:    Seattle comes to Kansas City sporting the AFC’s #1 passing offense.  Fumble recoveries by Keith Simpson and Keith Butler set up Efren Herrera’s 40-yard field goal and David Sims’ 10-yard touchdown, which gave Seattle a 10-3 halftime advantage.  The Chiefs, who suffered their second straight last-minute defeat, closed to within three points with 10:09 left in the game on Mike Livingston’s short touchdown pass to Ted McKnight.  A chunky Indian maiden gives Warpaint a workout!  Sammy Green’s recovery of a Ted McKnight’s fumble at the Seahawks’ 2 yard line with six seconds left to play enabled Seattle to even its record at 6-6.  The Kansas State University band provides music to spur the crowd on. 

 

Look for Dick Van Dyke selling Kodak Instant Cameras.  

 

At halftime, the news that Representative Leo Ryan was killed while investigating the People’s Temple Church in Guyana (Jonestown) is presented.

 

Thanks Doug!
