Seahawks News
The Seahawks are flying high after picking up a much-needed win last night.
They put on a defensive clinic in their 20-3 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Kenneth Walker III was held to just 36 rushing yards in his return to Seattle, which was well short of his 133-yard average entering the game.
The Seahawks’ Emmanuel Wilson ran for 100 yards and a touchdown, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his stellar season with 9 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown.
Seattle’s defense didn’t allow a single red zone drive, which has never happened to KC with Patrick Mahomes at quarterback.
The Seahawks improved to 4-3, while handing the Chiefs their first loss of the season. Next up, they’ll host the Chicago Bears a week from today on Monday Night Football.
