The Seattle Seahawks handed the Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the season Sunday night, winning 20–3 at Lumen Field behind a strong defensive performance and 150 receiving yards from Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Seattle improved to 4–3 and ended a two-game losing streak. Kansas City fell to 5–1 after managing 213 total yards and 11 first downs.
Smith-Njigba caught nine passes, including a 28-yard touchdown that helped Seattle take a 10–0 halftime lead. Sam Darnold finished with 257 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Emanuel Wilson rushed for 100 yards on 24 carries. His 21-yard touchdown run with 3:47 remaining gave Seattle its final margin after Kansas City had failed to convert an opportunity to draw closer.
Patrick Mahomes completed 19 of 33 passes for 165 yards and an interception. Former Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was held to 36 yards on 14 carries against his previous team.
Kansas City’s only points came on Harrison Butker’s 50-yard field goal. Butker also missed attempts from 58 and 45 yards.
Before kickoff, the Chiefs listed receiver Rashee Rice and tackle Jaylon Moore as inactive. That pregame roster information was the original focus of this page.
Kansas City visits Denver next Sunday. Seattle hosts Chicago on Monday, November 2.
