The defensive squad for Seattle was formidable, racking up four sacks and prying one fumble from their opponents' grasp. Jamie Sheriff stood out in this defensive masterclass with two sacks and three hits on the quarterback that significantly hampered Cleveland's offensive flow. In special teams action, Jason Myers proved his worth by nailing all three field goal attempts he faced, with his longest from an impressive 58 yards out underlining his kicking prowess.


On offense, Geno Smith steered his team with remarkable efficiency, completing 80 percent of his passes for 62 yards which included a touchdown pass to DK Metcalf who made an eye-catching 21-yard catch to score. Kenny McIntosh added to the spectacle with an electrifying 56-yard dash to the end zone that underscored Seattle's potent ground game.


Michael Dickson’s punting was instrumental in controlling field position throughout the contest. He sent off punts totaling 163 yards over three attempts which played a key part in keeping Cleveland at bay despite none landing within their 20-yard line.


The receiving corps also made significant contributions beyond Metcalf’s standout play; Easop Winston Jr., Laviska Shenault Jr., Jaxon Smith-Njigba collectively racked up crucial yardage that sustained drives and kept their team on the front foot.


This win against Cleveland reflects Seattle's comprehensive strategy where both offense and defense play pivotal roles in carving out victories. With eyes now set on their next encounter scheduled for August 31st back at Lumen Field against an as-yet unnamed opponent, fans are keenly awaiting to see if Seattle can continue this winning streak into deeper waters of their season.
