At Lumen Field, home to the Seattle Seahawks, fans witnessed their team's defense shine as they amassed four sacks and seven quarterback hits. The defensive effort was further bolstered by an interception that was returned for 20 yards and one safety. Special teams contributed with one blocked kick and forced three three-and-outs.


The offense complemented the defense's robust performance. The Seattle Seahawks' passing game accounted for 226 yards through the air with a completion percentage of 68 percent and an average of over eight yards per attempt. Despite not throwing any touchdowns, they maintained efficiency with no interceptions thrown and two red zone visits resulting in touchdowns.


On the ground, the rushing attack added two touchdowns to their tally while accumulating 141 yards on 31 attempts, averaging about four-and-a-half yards per carry. Their longest run stretched for 29 yards.


Special teams also played a pivotal role in securing field position advantage; punting averaged over fifty-one net yards across three attempts with one landing inside the twenty-yard line. In terms of scoring through kicks, field goal units were successful on two out of three attempts – including one from beyond fifty yards – contributing six points to their total score.


Penalties seemed to be an area where both teams struggled equally; each incurred eight penalties throughout the game which cost them yardage but did not significantly impact their overall performance or outcome.


As fans look forward to future games, they can anticipate another exciting matchup as the Seattle Seahawks will face off against Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on August twenty-sixth at five PM local time. Fans eager to support their team can catch this upcoming game live as it unfolds.
