SEATTLE - Steve Broussard got
the unbeaten Seattle Seahawks o ff to
a perfect start. Then their defense
kept their record perfect against the
w inless W ashington Redskins.

their first since 1986 - w ith a 24-14
victory over the Redskins on Sun
day.
" I t w as b lo c k e d p e r f e c tly ,”
Broussard said. " I r a n through a hole
as big as a truck.”

said. " T h e re ’s nothing like taking
the ball aw ay to deflate your oppo

Ricky W atters had his second
straight 100-yard rushing game and
scored his first touchdow n for the
Seahaw ks, w ho also got W arren
M oon’s sixth TD pass o f the season.
The Redskins (0-3) are o ff to their
w orst start since 1981, when they
dropped their first five games.
‘ ’T here’s no question our team is
as frustrated as you can b e,” dow n
cast Redskins coach Norv Turner
said. "W h en you start the game out
w ith a kick return for a touchdown,
that really hurts.”
Said W ashington linebacker Ken
H arvey. " I t w ould be easy to give
up. But we have 13 gam es left and we
have to believe w e can win all 13
gam es.”
W ashington lost despite getting a
300-yard passing gam e from Trent
Green. G reen was 27-of-54 for 383
yards and tw o touchdow ns. The
R edskins h ad 27 first dow ns to
S eattle’s 16 and 465 yards to the
Seahaw ks' 299.
"S ta ts are stats,” Seattle coach
D ennis E rick so n said. " B u t the
scoreboard is the scoreboard. T hat’s
w hat it’s all about.”
" W e had a lot o f good perfor
m ances, b ut w e still d idn’t w in,”
said G reen, W ashington’s starter the
past two w eeks. W atters ran 24 tim es
for 146 yards and one touchdown,
w hile M oon was 16-for-33 for 141
yards and one touchdow n with no
interceptions.The Seahaw ks inter
cepted two passes by G reen and also
recovered a fumble that cost the
Redskins a chance for a second
to u chdow n.S eattle’s d efense had
three sacks, giving it 19 in three
games. The Seahawks have outscored
their first three opponents 95-28.
Broussard, 31, gave the Seahawks
a 7-0 lead 15 seconds into the game
when he took David A kers’ kickoff
at the 10 and sprinted 90 yards un
touched for a touchdown. Leading 10-
7 at halftim e, the Seahawks scored
two touchdowns in the third quarter
to take a 24-7 lead.
W atters scored on a 13-yard run
with 2:22 gone in the second h alf
after Darrin Smith intercepted a pass
by G reen on the W ashington 19.

Griffith Joyner autopsy inconclusive
An autopsy
on Olympic sprinter
^Florence Griffith Joyner did
not immediately determine the cause
o f death, a sh e riffs spokesman said
Tuesday.
" I t could take a few days or a few
w eeks’ ’ before a cause is determined,
said Lt. Hector Rivera o f the Orange
County SherifT s Department. Rivera
said the coroner started the autopsy
M onday at 1 p.m. PDT, but didn't
know how long the procedure took.
The coroner conducted a series o f
standard tests, including toxicology,
done when the cause o f death is un
known, Rivera said.
The stylish 38-year-old athlete, the
world record holder in the 100- and
200-meter dashes, died early Monday
at her Mission Viejo home. She had
suffered from heart problems in re
cent years.
Her husband, Al Joyner, the 1984
Olympic triple jum p champion, called
authorities after finding her "u n re
sponsive and not breathing,”
Rivera said. "S h e died in her
sleep sometime during the night,”
he said.
A decade ago this week, Griffith
Joyner won three gold medals at the
Seoul Olympics, where her sister-in-
law, six-time Olympic medalist and
world heptathlon record-holder Jackie
Joyner-Kersee, also starred. In an NBC
interview Tuesday, Joyner-K ersee
praised her as " a woman o f sub
stance.”
Griffith Joyner, or FloJo, as she
was known, still holds world records
in the 100- and 200-meter dashes. She
set the 100 mark o f 10.49 seconds in
the quarterfinals o f the 1988 Olympic
trials at Indianapolis, and since then,
no one has even broken 10.60. At
Seoul, she won the gold medal in a
wind-aided 10.54.
Griffith Joyner then smashed the
world 200 record in the Olympic fi
nal, clocking 21.34. American Marion
Jones, with a 21.62 at the W orld Cup
in South Africa this month, is the only
other w oman to run the 200 in under
21.70.
G riffith Joyner also won a gold
medal in the 400 relay and just missed
a fourth gold medal when the U.S.
team finished second in the 1,600
relay, which Gri ffith Joyner anchored.
‘ ’ It' s an amazing legacy. Many ha ve
tried and all have failed in terms ofher
records,” said nine-time Olympic gold
m edalist Carl Lewis. "(H er death) is
something that impacts the sport when
the sport is hurting very, very bad.”
Track and field had never pro
duced such an exotic creature. At the
1988 trials, she stunned fans and com
petitors by running in a purplebodysuit
with a turquoise bikini brief over it,
but nothing on her left leg.
"S h e proved a beautiful woman
could go out and be a phenomenal
athlete,” said Dwight Stones, a two-
time Olympic bronze medalist in the
high jum p. " W e w on’t know for a
long time how many female athletes
she inspired by being her own per
son.
"S h e was very, very determ ined,’ ’
said Jeanette Bolden, a former O lym
pic teammate and head w om en’s track
and fieldcoachat UCLA. "T herew as
no impossibility to anything. She re
ally tried to live that.”
