Patrick Mahomes, the guy many call the “future G.O.A.T.,” led his Kansas City Chiefs to a measly three points against our Seahawks at Lumen Field on October 25. That is not a typo. Three. Points. Our defense put the clamps down so hard, the Chiefs left Seattle with a 20-3 blowout loss.
Mahomes Couldn’t Muster More Than a Field Goal at Lumen
Can you believe it? The Chiefs, loaded with “one of the best running backs in the league,” two “All-Pros” on the offensive line, “one of the greatest tight ends of all time,” and “one of the greatest coaches of all time” on their sidelines, came into the Emerald City and couldn’t crack double digits. Mahomes threw for a pathetic 165 yards, one interception, and, get this, *zero* touchdowns. Our very own Derick Hall #58 even forced a fumble on him in the third quarter. It was a shutdown, plain and simple, and it proved our defense under Mike Macdonald is no joke. The Chargers.com writer for the opposing team noted Mahomes’ performance continued a trend, saying they’d be waiting to hear about how “horrible he is” after throwing “multiple interceptions and zero touchdowns across his last two games.” Yeah, we saw it firsthand.
When Herbert’s “Worse” Outing Was Actually *Better*
Here’s where it gets wild. Just a few weeks earlier, in Week Four, Justin Herbert and the Chargers faced our Hawks. Herbert’s stat line was 189 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. On paper, that might sound a little rough, right? But here’s the kicker: his offense scored a season-high 23 points. Let that sink in. Herbert, with a game that was described as “worse” in the original article, managed to lead his team to a touchdown and 23 points. Mahomes, with a supposedly superior supporting cast, could only squeak out a field goal against the same Seahawks defense. It just makes the Chiefs’ performance at Lumen look even more embarrassing.
What we saw at Lumen Field was a defensive clinic. Our guys held one of the league’s most potent offenses to a single field goal, forcing turnovers and making life absolutely miserable for a supposedly elite quarterback. This is the kind of suffocating defense Seattle fans live for, and it’s a huge reason to be fired up about what’s next.
