Editor’s note: The following, about the contest against the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 12 at the Kingdome, is the sixth in a series of stories on the games that made up the Browns’ 1980 Kardiac Kids season. This is the 35th anniversary of that memorable year.

A total of 13 of the 16 games in 1980 – 14 of 17 if you include the postseason – weren’t decided until the final two minutes.

That’s what made the Kardiac Kids what they were.

But the Oct. 12 contest against the Seattle Seahawks at the Kingdome is not included in that list. It was not close at all.

Mike Pruitt ran for 116 yards and two touchdowns and the Browns had three rushing scores overall as they dominated from start to finish to win 27-3 and gain their first victory ever over the Seahawks in four tries.

Pruitt got the first of those TDs on a two-yarder in the first quarter, and the Browns, who evened their record at 3-3, led 13-6 at halftime as Brian Sipe threw a 39-yard scoring pass to wide receiver Keith Wright.

Cleveland got single TDs in the third and fourth quarters on rookie Charles White’s three-yard run and Pruitt’s 22-yarder.

The Browns rushed for 176 yards overall.

Sipe was efficient throwing the ball, hitting on 12 of 24 attempts for 211 yards and the TD with no interceptions. Tight end Ozzie Newsome led the receivers with two catches for 60 yards.

After three close games in a row, the Kardiac Kids finally had a breather. It would be their last one for some time.

Next: The play of the year.
