Seahawks exhibit potential victories, albeit Chiefs withholding key players.
In a preseason game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Seattle Seahawks, the Seahawks demonstrated a dominant run game and promising defensive effort.
The Seahawks' running game was a major highlight, with the offensive line imposing its will on the Chiefs' defense. Standout performances by Grey Zabel, Anthony Bradford, Abe Lucas, and Jalen Sundell pushed Kansas City's defensive front around convincingly, enabling big gains on the ground. Running back Zach Charbonnet notably scored an untouched 15-yard touchdown, highlighting the success of the run game.
Quarterback Sam Darnold played efficiently, benefiting significantly from the strong running game and offensive line. In his first preseason game as a Seahawk, Darnold went 4 for 4 for 33 yards. His ability to lead effective drives and play efficient football reassured many that the Seahawks made a sound choice in moving on from Geno Smith.
The Seahawks defense displayed high intensity and physicality, playing with the energy expected from a midseason game rather than preseason. Safety Julian Love and linebacker Ernest Jones IV combined to force a turnover on downs on fourth-and-one against the Chiefs' fullback Carson Steele in the first quarter. Linebacker Drake Thomas and nose tackle Brandon Pili combined to force a safety against the Chiefs' running back Elijah Mitchell in the second quarter.
Backup quarterback Drew Lock went 10 for 12 for 129 yards and two touchdowns in the game against the Chiefs. Receiver Jake Bobo reeled in two touchdown receptions in the opening half of the game against the Chiefs. Kicker Jason Myers made a tackle in the open field during the game against the Chiefs.
The Seahawks played well in their first two preseason games, with the first game ending in a 23-23 tie. The Seahawks won the game in question with a score of 33-16 at Lumen Field. However, it is important to note that this is preseason, and while the game painted an encouraging picture for Seattle, some caution is warranted.
