Another great video sir! Thank you again! I've mentioned before that I'm a lifetime Packers fan, but also a total NFL FAN AS WELL! The Chargers, Seahawks, Chiefs, Broncos, and Raiders, back when they were all part of the AFC West. I also liked the🐬🐬Miami🐬Dolphins🐬🐬 in the AFC as well. Back in 70's the Seahawks had some really great players. Jim Zorn was the QB and a damn good one. Sherman Smith, a decent RB, and the Legendary Steve Largent, one of the BEST all-time WR's in the 🏈🏉NFL🏉🏈! The early 70's 🐬Dolphins🐬 were also epic! Larry Czonka, Bob Griese, Mercury Morris. This will be a great game to watch!

Curt Warner, the RB, is the forgotten Curt Warner. He was overshadowed by the Rams/Cardinals QB. Warner was an excellent RB.

Dave Kreig and Kirk Cousins are basically the same QB. Once you see this, you will never unsee it.

It may have been the first real playoff upset in NFL history. I know we had Houston in '78 & '79 and the '79 Rams over Dallas but a 9-7 WC team beating a 12-4 division champ? It was hard to believe Miami was out.

I was at this game. As a young Dolfan, this was a tough loss.

Even though I'm a diehard Bronco fan (not an easy thing these days), going back to the late 70's (BIG Craig Morton fan), seeing any of these old broadcasts in better quality is just spectacular (and extra credit to seeing the pre-game stuff, wow)! Thanks for all you do!!!

Morton was an underappreciated QB. His stats were better than Namath's, and as good as Stabler's, but they each WON the Super Bowl, so they made the HOF. Morton led two different franchises to their first ever SBs, but was a turnover machine in both games. Career stats: Morton 183 TD, 187 INT, 81-62-1 as a starter, only threw 20 INTs twice his entire career, 73.5 career QBR Stabler 194 TD, 222 INT, 96-49-1 as starter, threw 20, 30, 22 and 28 INTs in consecutive seasons, 75.3 QBR Namath 173 TD, 220 INT. 62-63-4, led the AFL in INTs four times, 65.5 QBR Namath was finished by age 34, Stabler was a terrible QB after he left Oakland, with a 66.1 QBR in Houston and N.O., while Morton had a resurgence in Denver, having 5 good seasons, throwing 74 TD and only 62 INT and a QBR of 79.7 - including a 90.5 at age 38, leading Denver to a 10-5 record. Craig suffered 3 bad years with the Giants, which was just a dreadful team while he was there. If you exclude those seasons, he threw 154 TD and 138 INT for his career, with a QBR over 78. I've always wondered if Craig had won the Big Game, would he be in enshrined in Canton? He was succeeded by arguably the two greatest QBs of all-time, Staubach and Elway, so many people forget that he was the QB who took both of those franchises to their first Super Bowls (and Denver to their first ever playoff run). Take out his NYG seasons, and his record as a starting QB was 73-37-1, a winning pct of 66.4. Stabler never played on a bad team, and his career winning pct was 66.2. Morton was 7-6 in playoff games, 0-2 in the SB Stabler was 6-6 in playoff games and 1-0 in SB (one of his losses was to Morton in 1977) Namath? Made the playoffs only twice, going 1-1 and winning the most famous SB ever. If those two guys are in the Hall of Fame, Morton should be, too. Peace

Yeah typical South Florida at that time, the local news stations usually buys the rest of the tickets so the games could be shown on tv.

I remember this game vividly because it was our highlights game of the week on Channel 4 in the UK when I was a kid. The thing I remember the most was in the UK game intro they asked a young couple who were Dolphin fans what their predictions were for game and they laughing said "... Dolphins are going to win and Seattle would have a better chance if they didn't turn up " As a Hawks fan my blood boiled at the insult but we had the last laugh, 😊.Dave Kreig ( my all time favourite player) was in the zone and Curt Warner our rookie RB was at his sensational best and we dropped the hammer on Dolphins. Can't believe it was 40 years ago seeing the Hawks in the throw back uniforms last Sunday I half expected to see Kreig, Warner, Largent, Greene and Easley out there, Go Hawks

Im glad I get to see this on the rewind. I missed most of this game becauae I saw the Seahawks and Dolphins play before and I was playing a non stop marathon of Colecovision that Inhad gotten days earlier for Christmas.

leading up to this point in time, this was easily the biggest win in Seahawks history.

Dave Krieg was just getting started… so underrated

This game was THE highlight of my childhood. I had just turned 8 a few days before this game and when my mom asked what I wanted for my birthday, I said "the Seahawks to win the playoffs." I guess they didn't win the WHOLE playoffs, but because of this win, they were 2-1 in the playoffs, so they essentially "won the playoffs."

Everytime i see the hook and trailer against San Diego it makes me happy and sad at the same time.

Dave you are red hot right now with these Seahawks uploads as you uploaded another enhanced playoff classic. I got a copy of this game on my computer and I can replace that one as well with this clear quality beauty. I love watching the Hawks big upset over the Dolphins altough the Fins got their revenge the year after when the Dolphins won the AFC title.

That's some nice work on the brightness. I took a look at the before and after shots and you brought it back all the way. Once could even say the difference is like night and day (see what I did there?).

Ah, the GOAT...Dan the mf man, Marino. Thank you, sir...

I was at the game in Miami, where I lived at the time. It was a nasty day, not typical Miami weather, rain and chilly. New Year's Eve.

I remember this like it was yesterday. When Largent made the big catch at the end I pretty much lost it. When Warner scored a play later I really lost it! We got killed by a better Raiders team in AFC championship, but the 83 season was a lot of fun. I've always wondered how the 84 season might have turned out if Warner didn't blow out his knee.

Charles Bowser had the sad duty of replacing the late Larry Gordon in the Dolphins' starting lineup. Gordon, a starter at linebacker from 1976-82, died of a massive heart attack while jogging in June 1983, two weeks shy of his 29th birthday.

Nat Moore, a WR with a neck roll.

GREAT game.

Interestingly, 16 years later, the Miami Dolphins won at Seattle. It was the last win of Dan Marino’s career. Also, the final game played at the Kingdome.

I remember watching this game as a 15 year old. Bummer that they lost to the Raiders the next week.

In Fulton Walker's defense that football obviously got more damp as the game progressed, but @22:48 they showed that stat that he had led the NFL that regular season with 26.7 yards per KO return, before averaging just 17.3 yards per return off six KO returns in this game and that was the difference. Even before Coach Knox arrived, Seattle's KO coverage units were already legendary.

Wow. It's remarkable that Fulton Walker wasn't run out of town after fumbling back to back kickoffs at the end of that game. Did he have money on the Seahawks?? He played two more years after this. It's bad enough to do that anytime, but he did it in the worst possible circumstances. Is there even another time before or since that a player has lost a fumble on consecutive touches?! I'm certain it's never happened in the postseason. Walker kept Marino on the bench to prevent any hope for a late game winning or tying drive.

@@jmbuff1 No doubt. The question you originally posed on whether a player has lost multiple fumbles in the playoffs got me thinking. Kyle Williams had two key fumbles on punt returns for San Francisco in the 2011 NFC Championship game against the Giants. You hate to see it but he was a young kid thrown into the fire because Ted Ginn was out in that game, and Ginn was of course a solid, reliable if not spectacular punt returner. It really turned the game as one set up the Giants' go ahead score midway thru the 4th quarter while the second set up the winning field goal in overtime. An indelible image of that game was San Francisco brutalizing Eli Manning so much so that at one point he called a timeout late with his helmet pulled halfway off of his head with pieces of sod hanging from it. Anyway, not exactly the same thing as Walker because they occurred on punt returns and he did handle a couple of punts in between fumbles, but all the more devastating given it happened in a conference championship game and San Francisco seemed to be in control at that point.
