Seahawks Edge Chargers In Exhibition Thriller
Seattle quarterback Jim Zorn connected with Ron Howard for a three yard TD with 13 seconds left as the expansion Seahawks upended the San Diego Chargers 17-16 in an NFL pre season game. Zorn drove Seattle from a setback to seal their first exhibition victory with a late scoring drive aided by a 21 yard pass to Barton and a one yard run to Smith before finding Howard for the winning pass. San Diego had tied it late in the fourth on Bo Matthews run but Delaney’s extra point attempt failed and John Delaney had earlier tied the game with a 21 yard field goal. The Seahawks stunned the Chargers with a 96 yard kickoff return by Gary Mayman set up the late surge.
