THE READ
83 points between Chiefs and Seahawks

Seattle threw 46 times and ran 12, abandoning the ground game at 79 percent pass plays versus their 67 percent season average—a desperation move that played into Kansas City's strength. Jalen Milroe matched Patrick Mahomes with 416 yards and 4 touchdowns, and Tory Horton had 203 receiving yards, yet the Seahawks still lost by 7 because Xavier Worthy's 5 catches for 213 yards and 3 touchdowns was the difference. The real problem: Seattle's 3 turnovers to Kansas City's 4 shouldn't have mattered in an 83-point shootout, but it did. The Seahawks have to take this one straight—they scored 38 points and lost, and that tells you everything about where the execution gap sits right now.

SRS is how many points a side beats an average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20. SOS is how hard that schedule has been. Full table.

IN THE BOOTH
Drew Larkin The superfan
Seattle had Jalen Milroe throwing for 416 yards and 4 touchdowns with Tory Horton untouchable at 203 receiving yards, and it still wasn't enough—Kansas City's Xavier Worthy went for 213 yards and 3 scores, Patrick Mahomes answered everything the Seahawks threw at them, and even 4 turnovers couldn't stop a Chiefs offense that looked unstoppable.
Daniel Keller The numbers guy · replying
Seattle abandoned the run entirely—79% pass rate—and Milroe still needed 46 attempts to match what Mahomes did in 29, which tells you everything about where these teams actually live.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers — none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that did not happen.

Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
