The Seattle Seahawks (4-3) handed the previously undefeated Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) a humiliating 20-3 loss at Lumen Field on October 25, 2026, as Jaxon Smith-Njigba erupted for 150 receiving yards and Seattle’s defense held Patrick Mahomes without a touchdown or a single red-zone appearance.
Quarter-by-Quarter

Seattle entered Sunday night desperate to end a two-game losing streak and responded by embarrassing the NFL’s last unbeaten AFC team. Mike Macdonald’s defense overwhelmed Patrick Mahomes from the opening quarter, with Nick Emmanwori forcing an errant pass that Ty Okada intercepted. Sam Darnold capitalized by finding Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a 28-yard touchdown, giving Seattle a 10-0 halftime lead. Smith-Njigba finished with nine catches for 150 yards, becoming just the third player in NFL history with at least 800 receiving yards and eight touchdowns through seven games. Darnold threw for 257 yards, while Emanuel Wilson rushed for 100 yards and delivered the knockout blow with a 21-yard fourth-quarter touchdown. Seattle piled up 410 yards, converted 11 of 16 third downs and controlled possession for nearly 36 minutes. The Seahawks even wasted three red-zone opportunities, making Kansas City’s offensive disaster look worse.
The Chiefs entered 5-0 and left looking like they had forgotten how to play offense. Mahomes completed just 19 of 33 passes for 165 yards and an interception, finishing with a miserable 58.3 passer rating. For the first time in his starting career, including playoffs, Kansas City never reached the red zone. Not once. Former Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III returned as the NFL’s leading rusher and Super Bowl MVP, only to manage 36 yards on 14 carries against his former teammates. Travis Kelce’s 44 receiving yards came with a historic move into fifth place on the NFL’s all-time receptions list, but Kansas City produced just 213 total yards and 11 first downs. Harrison Butker missed two field goals, including a 58-yard attempt after Nohl Williams’ 65-yard interception return. Missing Rashee Rice and starting tackle Jaylon Moore certainly hurt, but three points from an Andy Reid offense featuring Mahomes is indefensible. Kansas City didn’t just lose its perfect record. It tied its lowest scoring output of the Mahomes era and spent the entire night making Seattle’s defense look unbeatable.
