The Seahawks lost their first two games, and three weeks into the strike,
head coach
Jack Patera and general manager John Thompson were fired on Wednesday, October 13, and
Mike McCormack took over as head coach for the remainder of the season.

Chicago Bears the next week, the team was upset 16–0 in the
Kingdome by the
New England Patriots .
