Notes:  Kansas City comes out early with a TD in the first minute and never lets off the gas.  Seattle strikes back with a touchdown pass to Steve Largent, but the tie is the best they can manage for the rest of the game.  Kansas City’s running backs take turns punching through Seattle’s line, with Palmer, Heard, and the rookie Christian Okoye all getting some carries.  Palmer returns a punt 92 yards for a touchdown, echoing the runback he had in week 1.  Steve Largent passes the great Charlie Joiner for first place on the all-time receptions list.  This loss, coupled with a Houston win, puts the Seahawks on the road for the playoffs while the Chiefs start their off-season on a high note.

 

This is the first game ever with a female play-by-play announcer.

 

Thanks Steven!
