Clash at Paycor Stadium: Seattle Seahawks Fall to Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6

The Seattle Seahawks, with a record of 3-2, faced off against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium. Despite a hard-fought battle, the Seahawks were unable to secure victory, falling short with a score of 13-17. The Bengals improved their season to an even 3-3.

In an intense matchup at Paycor Stadium, the Seattle Seahawks displayed resilience but ultimately could not overcome the home team's defense. The Seahawks' offense managed to accumulate a total of 381 yards with quarterback play yielding 323 passing yards and completing nearly 66 percent of pass attempts. However, they were hindered by two interceptions and four sacks which cost them valuable yardage.

The ground game contributed with 87 rushing yards including one touchdown that marked the only time the Seahawks found their way into the end zone during this contest. Their rushing efforts averaged about three yards per carry over twenty-five attempts. The lone touchdown was complemented by two successful field goals from beyond fifty yards out, showcasing perfect kicking accuracy for the day.

Defensively, Seattle made its presence felt by recording three sacks and five quarterback hits on defense while also securing an interception and defending six passes effectively throughout the game. They forced two three-and-outs against their opponents but struggled in red zone efficiency where they allowed a success rate of eighty percent on defensive stands.

Special teams had moments of effectiveness as well; punters averaged thirty-eight net yards across three punts with two landing inside the twenty-yard line contributing to field position battles. Kickoff units saw touchbacks on three out of four kickoffs indicating strong leg power behind those kicks.

Despite these efforts by players in all phases of the game – offense, defense, and special teams – penalties proved costly for Seattle as they accrued sixty-four penalty yards over seven infractions which impacted momentum shifts during crucial moments in play.
