The Seattle Seahawks have snapped their three-game losing streak with a dominant 20-3 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The win marked a much-needed turnaround for the Seahawks, who had struggled to find their footing in recent weeks. After opening the season with two wins, Seattle had entered the weekend with a 1-3 record, fueling speculation that quarterback Sam Darnold might lose his starting job to Drew Lock.
However, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald had been adamant in his support for Darnold, citing the quarterback's "great football" this season. Macdonald's confidence in Darnold proved justified as the quarterback led the Seahawks to a decisive win over the Chiefs. Darnold completed 27 of 51 passes, including a 28-yard touchdown pass to Jaxson Smith-Njigba in the second quarter.
The Seahawks' defense was equally impressive, holding the high-powered Chiefs offense to just 210 yards and 11 first downs. Patrick Mahomes, who struggled to find his rhythm, was intercepted twice, including a pick that set up a Seattle field goal. The Seahawks' Kenneth Walker had a relatively quiet game, rushing for just 36 yards, but the team's defense was more than enough to carry the load.
The win marked a significant turnaround for the Seahawks, who will host the Chicago Bears on Monday night. The Chiefs, meanwhile, will travel to Denver to face the Broncos, who survived an ugly offense performance to beat Seattle 17-14 in overtime just last week.
