The Kansas City Chiefs did not survive Seattle, losing 20-3 to the Seahawks on Sunday Night Football on October 25, 2026, at Lumen Field. The defeat was Kansas City's first of the season, dropping the Chiefs from 5-0, while Seattle improved to 4-3. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes finished 19-of-33 passing for 165 yards, threw an interception, and did not throw a touchdown. Kicker Harrison Butker accounted for all of Kansas City's points, missing a 58-yard attempt before halftime. Seattle built its lead behind quarterback Sam Darnold, who threw for 257 yards and a touchdown, and a defense that limited Kansas City's offense throughout. The loss came one week after Seattle itself had lost to Denver, a result cited heading into the matchup as a reason to expect Seattle to rebound at home. The outcome snapped Kansas City's perfect start and reinforced Seattle as a legitimate contender in a competitive AFC and NFC landscape. The community largely got this one right: only 33 percent of voters predicted the Chiefs would survive, meaning the majority correctly anticipated Seattle's win. The result added to a growing list of upsets this NFL season in which undefeated teams have stumbled against divisional or conference opponents on the road.
