He also intercepted a pass and took it a career long 79 yards for a touchdown. The Seahawks won their first ever playoff game that year and reached the AFC Championship before losing to the eventual NFL Champion Los Angeles Raiders.Teamed with 1982 first-round draft pick Jeff Bryant, the two were fast becoming one of the best defensive end tandems in the league. The two would be paired up until 1992.Green had 13 sacks and career high four fumble recoveries in 1984, then had 13.5 sacks the next year He also scored two touchdowns. One came off a 19-yard interception return, and the other came off a 79-yard fumble recovery return.
