The second time that year the Seahawks blue a 21 point lead. First one was against the Cincinnati Bengals of 21 - 0 at the end of first quarter. This one hurt more 24 - 3 in the second half and lose. These are the days for the Seahawks had no defense, especially against the run in 1981. The running game also fell off really badly from the late 70s losing David Sims and Sherman Smith to injuries.
