Seahawks Rally Behind Myer In Pro Football Preseason

Quarterback Jim Zorn praised backup Steve Myer after Myer led Seattle to a 34-24 comeback win over San Francisco. Zorn, who carried Seattle last season, called for depth at quarterback as Myer connected on two of five passes for 43 yards and ran twice. The Seahawks jumped ahead late in the third quarter and secured the victory with fourth quarter drives. The 49ers debut under Ed DeBartolo and Ken Meyer saw Jim Plunkett and Delvin Williams perform well, but San Francisco fell short. NFL preseason also featured multiple other results with notable field goals and debuts, including Tony Dorsett and Joe Namath appearances.
