GO SEAHAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9-23-1979: Seattle@Denver, Denver won 37-34
This game was the fourth meeting of the Broncos and the Seahawks. Seattle had entered the league in 1976, but were placed in the NFC West Division. They moved to the AFC West in 1977, swapping places with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who had been placed in the AFC West in 1976. Denver had never lost to the Seahawks.
Seattle startled Denver by being quick out of the gates and building a 10-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. A 27-yard Jim Turner field goal trimmed the deficit to 7, but the Seahawks answered with a touchdown to make it 17-3. Denver responded with a touchdown of their own, on a 2-yard run by Otis Armstrong. Seattle added a field goal before the half to make the score 20-10 going into the locker room. The Seahawks started the second half with the hot hand, adding two more touchdowns in the third quarter for a 34-17 lead. Then Denver’s Craig Morton went to work, throwing three third quarter touchdown passes — 2 yards to Dave Studdard on a tackle eligible play, 11 yards to Haven Moses, 35 yards to Rick Upchurch. This narrowed the Seattle lead to 34-31. The Broncos then scored on their first possession in the fourth quarter (a 1 yard run by Rob Lytle) to take a 37-34 lead. Denver fended off the Seahawks for the rest of the quarter to preserve the victory.
There is a Craig Morton in the SeaHawks future...hehehehe
Pride cometh before a fall.
