Twenty Points Against the Chiefs: Why Seattle Fans Are Already Talking Season

The Seattle Seahawks hammered the Kansas City Chiefs tonight, 20-3, and the Emerald City is buzzing. That’s a statement win, plain and simple.

Defense Stifles the Chiefs

When you hold a team like the Kansas City Chiefs to just 3 points, you know something special happened on that field. A 20-3 final score means our defense was absolutely suffocating. That’s the kind of performance that tells you exactly where this team’s head is at. We gave up next to nothing, and that’s how you win big.

Don’t Mind the Other Guy, Seattle Had the Real Game

Forget any other primetime matchup tonight, especially one featuring what’s arguably the worst division in football. While we were watching our Hawks shut down the Chiefs, the Philadelphia Eagles were hosting the Dallas Cowboys in a game that apparently wasn’t worth anyone’s time. The Eagles rolled out without DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, though Saquon Barkley, Landon Dickerson, and Eli Stowers were active. Plus, Jalen Hurts was out, leaving Tanner McKee to get the nod at QB.

Dallas, on the other hand, is struggling, sitting at 2-4 after losing two straight. They haven’t even put up two touchdowns in their last two games, with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb clearly having a tough time on offense. Philadelphia’s defense let the Panthers drop 25 points on them last week, with Bryce Young hitting for 281 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Carolina even ran 74 plays in that game, thanks to the Eagles only averaging 3.6 yards per play. If the Cowboys needed a “get-right” defense, the Eagles were it. Honestly, the buzz was right: this was the kind of game where you’re better off with your family, outside, or watching the World Series or WNBA finals that were on at the same time. Good thing we had the Seahawks!

With that 20-3 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, the Seahawks are making a huge statement. Get ready, Seattle, because this is just the beginning.
