Notes:  FB David Sims, who rushed for 121 yards on 23 carries, swept around right end for a three-yard touchdown that broke a 17-17 tie with 10:20 to play. It was his third touchdown of the game. QB Jim Zorn set up the winning score when he ran for a first down to the Jets 2 yard line after a fake field goal. Zorn riddled the Jets’ secondary, completing 19 of 26 passes for 191 yards. Sims’ three touchdowns set a Seahawks game record.

 

Look for James Coburn, Kenny Stabler, Roscoe Lee Browne, Jeff Daniels, Stuart Pankin, Len Lesser (Seinfeld) and Ricardo Montalban selling various products.

 

Thanks Rick!
