Kayla James: "San Francisco came to Seattle looking for anything—a spark, a sign, some hint that this season still held something salvageable—and instead found a Seahawks team that simply would not let them have it. Rashid Shaheed had the afternoon of his life with 178 receiving yards, but what really decided this 35-6 rout was that the Niners' offence managed only 6 points against a defence that's been searching for answers all year; sometimes the thing that finds you first is the thing that ends you." Zoe Bell: "San Francisco's inability to move the ball through the air—148 yards—matters more than what Seattle did; this offence is broken in ways a single bad Sunday cannot explain."

Seattle dismantled San Francisco 35-6 behind Sam Darnold's 23 of 31 for 291 yards and 3 touchdowns, with Rashid Shaheed catching 12 for 178 and 2 scores. The Seahawks moved 400 yards total to SF's 243, controlling the line on both sides of it. San Francisco managed 6 points on an offense that couldn't sustain anything; Romello Height's 2 sacks were the only statistic worth noting for a Niners team now at 1-8.

Cardinals handled Seahawks 28-18. Dante Moore threw for Cardinals — 14/22, 213 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT. Walter Nolen III got after the quarterback for Cardinals — 3 sacks. Three weeks of this now from Jaxon Smith-Njigba: 83 receiving yards a game, well clear of his 60 average. Total yards: Seahawks 318, Cardinals 253.

Talia Morgan: "Seattle got shredded up front—7 sacks allowed is inexcusable—and Darnold's 4 touchdowns don't matter when your offensive line is a sieve and Detroit's scoring 56."

Seahawks had no answer. Lions took it 56-31. Demond William Jr. was steady for Lions — 18/24, 399 yards, 5 TD. Sam Darnold threw for Seahawks — 21/36, 332 yards, 4 TD, 1 INT — in a losing effort. Make it 4 consecutive games past 250 for Sam Darnold. Through the air: Lions 399, Seahawks 332.

Giveaways decided this one. Vikings 41, Seahawks 35. J.J. McCarthy threw for Vikings — 23/33, 326 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT. Sam Darnold threw for Seahawks — 26/40, 266 yards, 2 TD — in a losing effort. Make it 3 consecutive games past 250 for Sam Darnold. Through the air: Vikings 326, Seahawks 266.
