Smith-Njigba Sets Pace
Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the way for Seattle with 150 receiving yards, including 129 in the first half. He now tops the league with 867 receiving yards and eight receiving touchdowns. He became the first player in the Super Bowl era to reach at least 850 receiving yards and eight receiving touchdowns through a team's first seven games. The Seahawks finished with 410 total yards and converted 11 of 16 third downs.
Defense Stifles Chiefs
Seattle's unit extended its streak to 36 straight games without allowing a 100-yard rusher. Kenneth Walker III managed just 36 yards on 14 carries, and the Chiefs gained only 213 yards overall while never reaching the red zone. Their closest drive ended at the 27-yard line, where a field goal attempt missed. The defense held Kansas City to three points in the 20-3 result.
Darnold and Chiefs Offense Struggle
Sam Darnold went 20 of 28 for 257 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The Seahawks improved to 4-3 while handing the Chiefs their first loss, dropping Kansas City to 5-1. Kansas City's wide receivers combined for just six catches and 39 yards. Patrick Mahomes faced pressure on eight of 15 dropbacks before halftime.
