Pros
Seahawks
Seattle played well with its "Darkside Defense" and its previously maligned offense led by Sam Darnold to beat the visiting Kansas City Chiefs by a 20-3 score Sunday night.
The Seahawks improved their National Football League record to 4-3 with the win over the previously undefeated Chiefs.
Darnold completed 20 of 28 passes for 257 yards with nine passes caught by Jaxon Smith-Njigba for 150 yards. Emanuel Wilson gave Seattle balance by carrying the ball 24 times for 100 more yards.
Jason Myers started off the Seahawks' scoring by booting a 25-yard field goal with 8:22 to play in the second quarter, then Darnold passed to Smith-Njigba to his left for a 28-yard touchdown with 1:44 to go in the quarter.
At first Smith-Njigba was ruled out of bounds at the 1-yard line, but a replay review gave him the touchdown instead. Myers' kick for the extra point made it a 10-0 game.
The Seahawks received the kickoff to start the second half and marched down the field for a 35-yard field goal by Myers with 8:09 remaining in the third quarter.
Kansas City responded with a 50-yard field goal with 1:42 to play in the quarter to close the gap to 13-3.
That's where it remained until Wilson all but sealed the win with a 21-yard touchdown run with 3:47 left in the game. Myers' PAT put the final score at 20-3.
Seattle will be back on national television for a third-straight time at 5:15 p.m. next Monday at home at Lumen Field against the Chicago Bears.
