Seattle, WA – The Seattle Seahawks delivered a decisive 20‑3 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, snapping a two‑game losing streak and showcasing a balanced attack on both sides of the ball.
Offensive highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 257 yards and a touchdown, completing nine passes to wide receiver Jaxon Smith‑Njigba for a total of 150 yards. Smith‑Njigba’s big plays included a 33‑yard gain early in the second quarter that set up a field‑goal, a 28‑yard touchdown reception that put Seattle up 10‑0, and another 28‑yard catch that brought the ball to the Chiefs’ one‑yard line before Darnold was intercepted.

Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III, who entered the season averaging a league‑leading 133 yards per game, was limited to 36 yards on 14 carries. Seattle’s defensive line also forced a fumble on Mahomes in the third quarter, leading to a 50‑yard field‑goal by kicker Harrison Butker.
