The Seattle Seahawks have become the first team to beat the Kansas City Chiefs this season, winning 20-3. This victory is a significant achievement, as the Chiefs have been a dominant force in the league.
The Seahawks’ defense played a key role in the win, limiting the Chiefs to just 213 yards. In contrast, the Seahawks had 410 yards of offense, demonstrating their strength in this area. Notably, the Chiefs came into the game averaging 414 yards per contest, but the Seahawks’ defense was able to hold them to significantly fewer yards, showcasing their defensive prowess.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a standout performance, adding 150 yards to his total and scoring a touchdown. With 867 yards on the season, he is on pace to be a top contender for the league MVP. He led by over 130 yards for the receiving title going into the game and likely just extended that lead.
An interception thrown by Sam Darnold to Chiefs cornerback Nohl Williams could have gone a lot worse. Williams tried returning the ball all the way from one end zone to another and got a decent return off it, making it all the way to the Seattle 44-yard line. Had he gotten a few yards closer, the Chiefs could have kicked the field goal and made it a one-score game going into halftime. He also could have taken it to the house and really flipped the entire game.
