Seattle led 10-0 at halftime and 13-3 after three quarters, and shut Kansas City out in the other three quarters.

Smith-Njigba sets the pace for Seattle

Jaxon Smith-Njigba carried the Seattle offense early. FOX Sports reported that he had six catches for 129 yards and a touchdown by halftime, including a catch in the corner of the end zone. NBC Sports reported that he finished with nine catches for 150 yards and the touchdown.

Sam Darnold finished 20 of 28 for 257 yards with a touchdown and an interception, NBC Sports reported. Seattle finished with 24 first downs, 410 total yards and 11 of 16 third downs converted.

Emanuel Wilson put the game away in the fourth quarter. After a missed Kansas City field goal, Wilson ran 21 yards for a touchdown, a play both NBC Sports and FOX Sports reported as the score that sealed the result.

Seattle defense holds Mahomes and Walker

Kansas City finished with 11 first downs, 213 yards and 3 of 11 third downs, NBC Sports reported. Patrick Mahomes finished 19 of 33 for 165 yards with an interception and a 58.3 passer rating. NBC Sports reported, citing the NBC broadcast, that this was the first time the Chiefs did not reach the red zone in a Mahomes start, including the postseason.
