Perfect Seahawks extend perfect season with perfect shellacking of imperfect Chiefs
Field Gulls • • sports
Key Points:
- The Seattle Seahawks defense remains undefeated in the 2026 season, excelling in multiple statistical categories and consistently stifling top offenses, including the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers.
- Despite the defense's dominance, the Seahawks' overall record is 4-3 due to offensive turnovers and mistakes, which have directly contributed to their three losses.
- Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continues to lead the league in yards, first downs, touchdowns, and yards per touch, solidifying his status as one of the top offensive players in the NFL.
- The Seahawks' defense shows vulnerability on possessions past the tenth drive, where opponents tend to gain more plays and points, a situation exacerbated by the offense's inconsistent time of possession.
- Key defensive players such as Ernest Jones, Nick Emmanwori, Byron Murphy, Jarran Reed, Leonard Williams, and Derick Hall have emerged as leaders, while recent roster moves by John Schneider aim to maintain and strengthen the team's defensive and offensive lines.
