SEATTLE Dave Krieg left his mistake-flawed season behind,directing the Seattle Seahawks to a 23-17 victory Sunday night overthe Los Angeles Raiders, whose playoff hopes were severely damaged.
The loss stymied the Raiders (8-7) in their bid to clinch an AFCwild-card berth.
Both the Seahawks (7-8) and the Raiders remained mathematicallyalive - although longshots - for the playoffs.
The Raiders had a three-game winning streak broken.
Krieg, who has 19 interceptions and 16 fumbles this season,completed 25-of-34 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns, with nointerceptions and no fumbles.
In a last-ditch effort to win the game, the Raiders got to theSeattle 15. But Steve Beuerlein's fourth-down pass with 11 yards togo sailed over Mervyn Fernandez's head at the Seattle 5 with 1:28remaining. NOTABLE: Steve Largent extended his league record by catching a passin his 176th consecutive regular-season game. Largent, 35, had onereception. He plays his final game next week. QUOTABLE: Beuerlein: "We knew we were in control of our own destiny.It hurts."
