Krieg finished third, behind Willie Gault and Herschel Walker. In basketball and rowing trials, he finished first, beating athletes like Randall Cunningham, Evander Holyfield, and Carl Lewis.
In 1989, Krieg struggled to lead, about slowed by injuries. Steve Largent fractured his elbow and retired at the end of the season. Other injuries slowed Curt Warner, and an ageing offensive line struggled to block for the racing game. Krieg thus had to rely on fullback John L. Williams. Even though the Seahawks only had a 7- record, Krieg played well.
Kansas City Chiefs
Krieg signed with Seattle’s then division rivals the Kansas City Chiefs, starting as a starter in the 1992 season, which ended with a 10-6 record, including a win over Seattle. His negative playoff performance away from the San Diego Chargers led to elimination. Before the 1993 season, the Chiefs signed Joe Montana, making him their starting quarterback.
Krieg nevertheless managed to see the field, replacing Montana in six games, including five as a starter, in place of the injured Hall of Famer. Montana and Krieg took the Chiefs to an 11–5 record, reaching the division title. In the playoffs, they went all the way to the conference final, where they were eliminated by the Buffalo Bills.
