Seahawks Defeat Chiefs 20-3 in Seattle to Hand Kansas City First Loss of Season

The Seahawks hosted the Kansas City Chiefs in Seattle on October 25, 2026, and earned a 20-3 victory in NFL Week 7, according to reports from Fox News, CBS Sports, and the Seattle Seahawks. Sky Sports reported that the result handed the Chiefs their first season loss, while Fox News described the matchup as a potential Super Bowl preview. According to KSHB 41 Kansas City, the lopsided loss left the Chiefs winless in Seattle.

On the offensive side for Seattle, Fox News reported that Sam Darnold silenced critics as the Seahawks dominated the 20-3 contest. Sky Sports highlighted that Jaxon Smith-Njigba starred for Seattle in the victory. Late in the fourth quarter, a touchdown by Emanuel Wilson boosted the Seahawks' lead to 19-3, according to NFL.com, before the game concluded at 20-3.
