The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 20-3 on October 25, 2026, snapping a two-game losing streak. Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the offense with 150 yards, while coach Mike Macdonald’s defense held the Chiefs to 213 total yards and recorded a 36-game streak without allowing a 100-yard rusher. Quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 257 yards but recorded his eighth interception in five games, including a critical pick in the first half.
The Chiefs (5-1) struggled offensively, failing to reach the red zone and missing key players like Josh Simmons and Rashee Rice. Patrick Mahomes was pressured on 53% of his dropbacks before halftime, leading to an interception and only 37 passing yards in the first half. Kicker Harrison Butker missed a field goal, highlighting the team’s offensive woes.
Smith-Njigba, the AP Offensive Player of the Year, became the first player since 1966 to record 850+ receiving yards and eight touchdowns in a team’s first seven games. His 129-yard first half set a career high and was the most by a Seahawk in a half since 2020.
Seattle’s next game is against the Chicago Bears on November 2.
