Seattle began the season with an 18–12 loss to the San Diego Chargers in a game that featured no offensive touchdowns. Joe Nash scored the game's first points with a 12-yard interception return for a touchdown, on a ball tipped into the air by Cortez Kennedy .[ 3] Though the Seattle defense held the Chargers to no touchdowns, kicker John Carney had made six field goals to Seattle's one, as the Chargers led 18–10 in the fourth quarter.[ 3] With 1:25 left in the game, Mirer completed a pass to Brian Blades to the Chargers' two-yard line, but a hit by linebacker Gary Plummer made Blades lose the ball. Seattle scored a safety as the Chargers ran out the clock to win 18–12.[ 3] Sportswriter John Clayton noted that San Diego's game-plan was to run the football with halfback Marion Butts , and to run the ball to the left side, away from Kennedy. Clayton observed that the strategy worked against a defense he described as "tough", but mistakes by Seattle's linebackers allowed San Diego to earn "modest gains" on plays to keep drives moving.[ 19] The first rookie quarterback to start a Seahawks season opener, Mirer finished the game with 154 yards and completed 20 of 27 pass attempts.[ 3]
