"SEATTLE -- Not everything was bad for Seattle sports fans on Monday night. While the Mariners fell just short of their first-ever World Series appearance, the Seattle Seahawks took care of business at Lumen Field, beating the Houston Texans 27-19. The Seahawks' defense held Houston to 254 yards and sacked C.J. Stroud three times, helping them overcome four turnovers. Meanwhile, Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught a touchdown pass while running back Zach Charbonnet ran for two more scores."
"The Seahawks harassed C.J. Stroud, sacking him three times, intercepting him once and holding the Texans' quarterback to under a 50% completion rate (23-for-49). Their loaded pass rush and typically strong run defense were enough to keep Houston's offense out of the end zone until late in the fourth quarter despite Seattle again playing short-handed in the secondary, with Devon Witherspoon and Julian Love both inactive."

Seattle committed four turnovers and converted only 2 of 14 third downs, but defensive dominance secured the win.
