The SHORTEST Halftime in NFL HISTORY | Seahawks @ Chiefs (1998)
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 08. 2024
- A halftime break in the NFL is usually 13 minutes long. However, in a 1998 game between the Seattle Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs, the halftime break was just six minutes. This is the story behind the shortest halftime break in NFL history, and the circumstances that led to this bizarre decision.

This video was longer than that halftime 😆
Oh! 🤣
Yes🤣🤣🤣
And it's only 8 minutes 😹😹
I initially thought that the video was going to be the footage of the halftime but apparently the explanation takes even longer.
I was at this game. It was nuts. The field looked like a damn ocean. Not only that, but for some reason we got there way early, so combined with the delay, we spent over five hours at Arrowhead that night.
You mean like for tailgating? Or you just went into the stadium super early?
@@ChiefJustinO LOL. We just went into the stadium. Literally nobody else was there. My stepdad was worried about traffic, I guess, so we avoided it by going when no one else was even thinking of going. My brother was like "WTF are we here so early?"
I don't think alot of people realize that the field at Arrowhead is below ground level, and I'm sure that drainage wasn't designed to handle that much rain. I'll never forget watching it. I was in fourth grade, and it was all anyone could talk about the next day. Lol
I remember it well. There were even some waterfalls from the upper decks and the stairs were like walking up a river. Other than a Monday night game against the Raiders, I don't remember seeing Arrowhead that drenched before.
I was also at this game in the upper level and we when we left,I can remember getting to our truck and pouring water out of my shoes and thinking I could of filled up a cup with shoe water
I'm a Chiefs fan and I remember this game. It was crazy for sure. The Lake Arrowhead Game is what it's known as locally.
My dad was at this game. It was insane. If ever there was a game deserving of being called the "Rain Bowl", this was it.
I remember watching this game as a kid in Kansas City
100%, this was my first game I attended. We stuck it out during the delay, stayed for the entire game. After the storm passed it was really nice, clear skies and all haha
Also remember the tsunami bowl with the Panthers vs the Jaguars 👍
@@jessefehr7249 dont forget ravens vs patriots 2020
@@jessefehr7249 the ball getting stuck in the mud after a punt is an iconic image
Seahawks: Lots of rain? Feels like a home game.
lol well at the time the Seahawks played in the King Dome which means no rain games. They didn’t play outside until 2002.
@@patrickwhelpley1745 Actually, in the two years(2000 and 2001) between the closing of the Kingdome and the opening of Lumen Field, the Seahawks played at the University of Washington's Husky Stadium...
And in 1994, when the Kingdome was temporarily closed due to the stadium's ceiling tiles falling before a Mariners game(which thankfully was postponed, and also caused the M's to play the rest of that shortened season on the road), they played preseason games and a couple regular season games at UW also.
Actually, one Seahawks home game in 1994 started at a very weird time(which JaguarGator could probably look into): 3 PM Pacific Time... yes, you're reading that correctly: 3:00 PM... of course, because the Seahawks did not sell out the game, it was not on TV here(I say here, because I was born in Tacoma and have lived in the area my entire life).
They played at the kingdome at the time
@@patrickwhelpley1745 Thought this might have been a Husky Stadium game.
I remember this game well watching it live. It was a complete safety issue and to their credit, they did finish the game. I remember the field being an absolute mess...but the 6 minute halftime was needed given the potential incoming weather issues. Nice recap of this game and situation
I miss the Seahawks old colors.
For some really stupid reason, a lot of teams started wearing Navy Blue in the late 90's and 2000's. Denver switched to Navy Blue, the Rams switched to Navy Blue, the Houston Texans chose Navy Blue and red as their colors, and the Seahawks went an odd greenish dark bluish color etc. It definitely has made the game less visually interesting.
I mean at least houston had the best reason
@@ryanjacobson2508 Broncos look good, but I still like the old colors maybe make it less baby blue and keep it. rams looked okay the New Jersey’s are alright. Texans ehh bland and Seahawks were unnecessary but slowly looked cleaner
Me too
Seems to me as though the Seahawks' unis have gotten progressively worse since they realigned to the NFC. The silver and blue with the logo on the shoulder stripe was, IMO, one of the best looks in NFL history, the steel blue was worse, but still relatively clean because the unique colors were paired with a more conservative design, and the Nike redesign is pretty much an eyesore. The striping is horrifically busy in that gaudy "action green," the fake panel on the top of the helmet is incredibly unnecessary, the number font is appalling, and the navy jerseys take on a purplish hue in direct light, which doesn't match the color scheme at all and clashes with the helmet, which does not change color in direct light. It's a design that seems like it was only meant to work in a Nike advertisement, which, are you really all that surprised?
Seeing all the rain just guzzle down on the field... holy crap that's insane!
**FUN FACT** Dan Saleaumua (DT) Was on the Seahawks at the time (Played 8 seasons with the chiefs.) And was good Friends with Tim Grunhard (C). They talked about this game on the radio together years later and they both remember laughing and splashing each other in the face Pre-Snap with with the puddles of water that had formed on the field. I always found that hilarious for some reason.
I was at a Steelers Bears game in 17 and they brought the teams out in the middle of half time to attempt a field goal.
I will always remember this game. The area flooded in my Kansas City neighborhood, I watched cars float down the road sideways and I ended up having five feet of standing water in my basement...everything got ruined and my insurance covered none of it. 🙄
Ah yes, insurance.
Buy insurance in case something happens.
Then when something happens they point out a hidden loophole written in Greek or Chinese or something
Reminds me of a CFL opening night game from a few years ago. Thunderstorms in Winnipeg paused a game twice on separate occasions in the 2nd quarter, with each delay taking about 90 minutes each. "Halftime" was just one commercial break, and the 7:30 game didn't end until about 1:30 AM.
When I was a sophomore in high school I was an usher at our game with our cross town rivals. Game was supposed to start at 730 but a car hit a light pole and the power went out. By the time they got it fixed and the game was played it was midnight. Not only that it was raining and so windy the rain came in sideways under the stadium roof. We were soaking wet.
I remember watching this game. The rain delay was almost an hour. I was surprised that they got the game played.
Yes, The Seahawks used to be in the AFC. It was as forgetful as Brian Bosworth's career
They made a afc championship so it’s not completely forgetful
@@sharqueesha6957 But When They Moved to the NFC They won a superbowl
even more amazing is that the Tampa Bay Bucs were once in the AFC
XLVIII TO be exact
In 1976 Seattle was in the NFC and Tampa in the AFC. The plan was to switch them in 1977 then switch them back in 1978. But the NFL for whatever reason changed their minds and left them where they were the second year
I remember that game. Other than the lightning, the monsoon conditions seemed to make the game more interesting. I would have loved playing in a game like this. All that sliding in the water and mud. Reminds me when my buddies and I played football in the driving rain in the local park. I remember a Pittsburg Steeler/Bengal game we watch on TV where a heavy snowstorm came in on the second half. The Steelers won 7-6. A few of us decided to play some football in the Snow after the game. Besides the fun we had tackling each other in 8 to 10 inches of fresh snow. We also noticed the occasional flash of lightening and sounds of distant thunder. Crazy times.
I actually hate playing in games like these especially when it’s cold, it’s miserable and dreadful to trying as move
There's a really good picture of Derrick Thomas from that game. It's actually my favorite pick. Man we miss DT!
Man that throw by Gannon!!
They should have started him in that playoff game
@@naveenssportsquarter4670 The conspiracy theorist in me thinks the league asked us not to since it was Elways send off. There was no other excuse to not start him.
And the Chiefs stupidly kept Grbac... that still irks me to this day.
Absolutely LOVE your videos. You track some of the quirkiest events and facts in NFL history.
Ayyyye this was my first football game I attended, I remember we stayed during the delay in the mezzanine and most people left, dont blame them because it was storming its ass off
I just found your channel, you bring back so many memories talking about all these forgotten sports stories. Love it.
this channel is criminaly underrated
Happy I found this channel it will give me a chance to hear NFL stories I wasn’t born early enough to experience
5:40 the rare “raises the question” instead of the incorrect “begs the question”. My helmet off to you, good sir.
Begs to question
Raises the question
"All intents and purposes"
My pet peeve is
"All intensive purposes" &
"Supposably"
I revisited this game on CZcams 2 years ago when I was watching "bad weather" games. Chiefs have played in quite a few. This one, 1979 against the Bucs, 2002 in Oakland.
I was surprised they cut the length of halftimes. I would think they'd make them longer so they could sell more ads and make more $$$
I remember this game! Everyone in KC remembers it as "The Rain Game" and the FLOOD coming from the stands.
That wasn’t even the most memorable call Phil Luckett’s crew made in a Seahawks game that season.
Did they work the jets game as well?
Why do you think he was a bad person, i was only 15 at the time, so i was just happy that the seahawks weren't as irrelevant as they had been earlier in the 90's.
@@chrisgriffin329 Yes they did.
@@chrisgriffin329 I don’t know the context of this remark, but the Seahawks otherwise would have gone 9-7. They wouldn’t have made the playoffs, but finishing above.500 might have saved the coaches their jobs instead of getting fired after the season.
@@chrisgriffin329 glad someone else noticed Luckett.
Why am I not surprised that in the three examples of the Falcons at halftime, they weren’t winning any of them?
I live in kc . Had tickets to that game. Really wanted to go. But ended up not because of that storm. Thought it was the wiser move not to go.
I've seen this video in my suggestions a bunch of times but never bothered to tap it to watch it till now.
i remember this game, chiefs primetime games were an event growing up in my house
The one good about leaving the AFC West, for the NFC West, is the we don't have to go to Arrowhead. That stadium was a graveyard for the Hawks , I don't miss going there at all especially now with Mahomes. Go Hawks
The other being the fact that the Hawks have been much more dominant in the NFC. 3 Super Bowl appearances (1 win), 9 NFC West championships (more than any team in the division since the realignment back in 2002) never have finished 4th in the division.
@@jalenbarnes7888
Yes but our recent success must be attributed to the ownership of the late, great Paul Allen, who genuinely cared about the Hawks, and hired the best people to make us winners. Still hate Arrowhead Stadium. Go Hawks
Lol you said never have finished 4th in the division….until this year!
I didn’t see it posted here looking through all of the comments, but I am pretty sure this was also the first NFL broadcast to show the yellow first down line. And it was only shown sporadically, not on every play.
I was 11 watching the game on ESPN (happened to be my dad's 40th birthday as well) and had to admit to being mildly surprised that the Chiefs and Seahawks were able to finish in light of the virtual monsoon
Dude, I love your channel! It's like a NFL needs paradise! Thank you for your work! 🙏
This game was on my birthday. I remember this day like it was yesterday.
So glad I’ve stumbled on this channel. Binging.
This halftime was longer than the amount of time we liked the Vikings kicker
That Seattle seahawks logo stared into my soul..
There is a rule in high school football to shorten the halftime if needed due to weather and it is used often obviously. This was just common sense being used and no one should have had an issue with it
A rule worth breaking, the right decision was made.
Hard to believe the Seahawks once had great uniforms.
Of course this was in 1998 and Phil Luckett was the Head Official. That guy was a magnet for odd ass scenarios that year the botched coin toss and the Jets/Seahawks fiasco.
Not just that year...he single-handedly cost the Saints a touchdown on a wide open flea flicker from Aaron Brooks to Joe Horn; all because he couldn't get his butt out of the way.
This was the most disappointing, frustrating season in Chiefs history. We were on a roll with Rich Gannon going into the playoffs when Schottenheimer did his usual choke in the playoffs and put in Grbac who hadn't played in half a season. He played below average and looked winded in the second half. Not only that, but Schottenheimer also put restrictions on the team, canceled all their radio shows, and tightened them up. The Chiefs fans never got over it. Grbac was forever booed and Schottenheimer lost credibility. That last part was over-reaction, but it still smarts.
Why did he remove Gannon for Grbac? Was Grbac coming back from an injury?
@@jamesage24 Yes, Marty had a rule that you can't lose your job due to injury. It was a really dumb rule, but nobody could talk him out of it. EVERYONE tried.
The very next year, Belichick had the same option--Brady or a returning Bledsoe. He laughed at the question if he'd do like Schottenheimer.
I remember that night because the weather people said that it rained 5 inches in an hour. My neighbor's house was hit by lightning, and I remember that strike because of how loud it was. I spent the night bailing water out of my basement. It was squirting out of the concrete wall and landing on the floor about 15 inches from the wall.
I remember the pumps not working to clear the water from the field. And half the file being under water and just a huge waterfall coming down out of the stands
I'm usually a "if there's grass on the field" kind of guy. It rains. It snows. Wind blows. That's field conditions, deal with it.
But there's no grass anymore. It's not even mud. It's a damned lake! Last I checked, you do not *swim* in the game of football.
wait I didn't know the Seahawks was in the AFC WEST back then
Oh yeah. As a young Hawks fan I was raised to hate the Broncos/Chiefs/Raiders...And Chargers to a lesser extent. That's why Super Bowl 48 was so sweet. Beating the Broncos for it was awesome.
Yep. From 1978 to 2001. Also, in 1976.
I worked this game in the stadium restaurant all the rain broke the pipes and flooded part of the restaurant. It was crazy
Phil Luckett shortens the half time to 6 minutes. Gotta wonder if that was the most interesting thing he did in 1998......
Great series of videos! You should do one about the snowman that caught fire during the Cowboys Vikings game in the late 70s
A 2018 Tennessee vs Miami game had a 3 minute halftime
That game lasted 7 hours.
2021 Chiefs Bills delay brought me here
I remember watching this game on ESPN. It was nuts.
Makes one wish Arrowhead still had artificial turf...
Always remember....PATRICK MAHOMES was only 3 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME OF THIS GAME
That next day the Vikings cut GB down on MNF IN GREEN BAY when they went 15-1!
WHAT A SEASON, especially since the Falcons went 14-2!
I was at this game, in the upper deck. everyone had to vacate the upper deck because of the lightning.
Just found my recording of this game in a box of old VHS tapes.
I remember watching this game as a kid. It was epic
I'm just impressed they were able to kick the ball in that weather.
A Sunday night game in October of 1998, I was hammered.
I was at that game. Hardest rain I have ever seen.
My story about this game goes, the next day at school while I was waiting to start basketball practice, some workers fixing the locker room were trying to remember who was in the Sunday night game. “A coupl’a nobodies” was the response he got after a fairly long silence. My takeaway from this recollection is that whoever gave that answer was wrong at the time, but right after the fact. Neither team made the playoffs.
Ricky Watters fumbled I think 4 times and he rarely fumbled.
It's hard for me to wrap around the fact that the Seahawks were once in the AFC.
Its hard for me to accept that they arent
I grew up a Rams fan in the 80s & the NFC West was the Rams, 49ers, Falcons & Saints! A most recent oddity is the Colts were in the East with the Patriots until 2001, the Carolina Panthers were in the NFC West & Arizona Cardinals were in the NFC East. I’m convinced the NFL doesn’t understand Geography.
I was at this game. It was warm so the rain wasn't terrible. After this the league changed the rules to delay at any sign of lightening. I had a great poncho but my pants and shoes were soaked.
In September of 2018, the Titans & Dolphins had an even SHORTER halftime! In that game, there were four hours of lightning/rain delays, causing the entire game to last an incredible 7-hours & 10-minutes! The first delay came with 1:11 remaining in the second-quarter, and so when play resumed, the players didn't leave the field at halftime, which lasted only three-and-a-half minutes!
And the weather (over the stadium) was, for the most part, wasn't so bad that afternoon! Kind of clear, actually.
The 1977 flood took place during a Royals-A's game at what was then Royals Stadium
I remember this game, ima Hawks fan, and it was pretty epic! Reminds me of High School.
This happens alot in college football. There was a college football game recently that didn't have a halftime due to a long delay in the first half
I can't imagine there wasn't a shorter halftime at some point in the Pottsville Maroons era.
I remember watching that game it was insane
Please do one w that windy game in Chi town back in 2005!
You should do a video on that 2007 Steelers/Dolphins matchup that had horrid field conditions and ended 3-0 with less than a minute remaining lol.
Remember watching this game. An absolutely unreal torrent.
Might be the only call Phil Luckett ever got right. Less than 2 months later, he screwed up a coin toss. ☹️
Wait a minute. Hail the size of a quarter? If this was Seattle that would be something. But it's in the midwest, that's not really that rare there
Great video, one comment: you have to make those self-promotion plugs smaller. Taking up a quarter of the screen for something that can be said in five seconds and linked in description.
Check the weather of the last college all star game against the NFL champs (Pittsburgh). If I remember correctly they called the game at half time.
Grade A+ video
The fans reacted a lot better than the crowd at the last College All-Star-NFL Champion game in Chicago... '76, maybe?
I remember watching this.
Phil Luckett may have made some questionable calls, but he made the right one in calling the game until the conditions cleared...
Seattle was in the AFC?
They started there and played in the AFC west for years, moving to the NFC when the league expanded to 32 teams.
@@crowtrobot17 It was one of the best moves ever. It's Also strange to think the The Colts played the Jets in superbowl 3. But that was before the merger and conference alignment.
@@crowtrobot17 interesting, never knew that!
@@crowtrobot17 actually the first year the Hawks were in the NFC with Tampa in the AFC. They flipped them the second year with the idea of flipping back permanently after that but for some reason the NFL changed their minds and left Seattle in the AFC and TB in the NFC
The Seahawks were in the AFC from 1977-2001.
Ironically, it was also the last time that the Seahawks had great looking uniforms!
I thought it was funny when Seattle running back was Ricky Waters, he was in the water
Ricky Watters obviously had a feature role
There was a game on Sunday Night this year Raven vs Patriots and the rain poured down so hard in the last two minutes as Raven tried to come back Five minutes afterwards it wasn't raining at all😛
Every madden halftime
oh shit its the r/nfl random stat guy
The field conditions inside Arrowhead Stadium were atrocious. The *surfing* conditions, however....
Did you make this video in 2006 and just now release it?
is this about the low quality videos? this was 1998
Bruh think before you type
The Barbasol can @6:02 😂
My Birthday is October 4th so I turned 8 that year
Had season tickets but opted not to go. Can't say I regret it.
Phil Luckett was involved somehow in this. Why am I not shocked? That man always seemed to somehow be a magnet for weird stuff going on. You had his coin flip blunder. You had the flag incident, this, and many many more...so when can we get a vid on Phil Luckett's habit of being around weird games?
Also yes, I wasn't aware there were lightning delays back in 98. Good to know, and pfft. ESPN didn't want the game to end late? *eyes night racing* Yeah, well, auto races ended at 2-3am on ESPN before. What's one SNF game...
The Plains get some of the craziest weather on Earth. Flat as a pancake, dry and some of the most boring land you'll ever see and yet the weather is incredibly bonkers, changing by almost the second sometimes. No wonder the Wizard of Oz was set in Kansas.
People think it rains a lot in Seattle. It's more of a constant mist/drizzle. Midwest rain can be absolutely ridiculous.
Wrong it was just a second long when I press A to skip Brandon Gaudin's crappy halftime report
I hate the newer maddens because when you skip halftime they always shit on you and say something about no halftime reports
@@ohioboy1878 dude honeatly. Like why do I want to see highlights from a game I'm playing. If I wanted to watch highlights of madden if just watch clips I took
Before watching, I'm going to assume this is the rain game
yeeaaahhh boi
