The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 20-3 on Sunday evening, handing the previously unbeaten Chiefs their first loss of the season. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the standout performer for Seattle, catching nine passes for 150 yards and a touchdown. Sam Darnold threw for 257 yards and a score for the Seahawks, who improved to 4-3 and snapped a two-game losing streak. Emanuel Wilson also contributed significantly with 24 carries for 100 yards and a touchdown.

The Chiefs' offence struggled throughout the game. Patrick Mahomes managed only 165 yards and an interception, while Kenneth Walker III, who had been averaging a league-leading 133 yards per game, was held to just 36 yards on 14 carries. Kansas City's total offensive output was 213 yards, with just 50 on the ground.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid acknowledged the poor performance. 'Listen, all three phases we struggled, so we've got to do better, and that's my responsibility,' he said. 'So I take full responsibility for this. We've got to play better as a team.' Travis Kelce provided one bright spot for Kansas City, recording four receptions to reach 1,104 for his career, moving past Marvin Harrison and Cris Carter for fifth in NFL history.
