Seahawks defense dominates Patrick Mahomes, Kenneth Walker III in big win
Key Points:
- The Seattle Seahawks defeated the previously undefeated Kansas City Chiefs 20-3, with their defense dominating and limiting Patrick Mahomes and Kenneth Walker III to their lowest passing and rushing totals of the season, respectively.
- Kenneth Walker III, who led the NFL in rushing yards before the game, was held to just 36 yards on 14 carries against his former team and did not score, while Mahomes was restricted to 165 passing yards with no touchdowns and one interception.
- Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold had a strong performance, throwing for 257 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, aided by receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s 150 receiving yards and a touchdown.
- Seattle’s defense held Kansas City to its fewest total yards, first downs, and red-zone drives in any Mahomes start, while the Chiefs scored only three points, tied for their lowest output with Mahomes at quarterback.
- The win improved Seattle’s record to 4-3, moving them closer to the NFC West-leading San Francisco 49ers, while the Chiefs fell to 5-1 and will need to quickly rebound against the Denver Broncos in Week 8.
