The Seattle Seahawks defended their home turf on „Monday Night Football“, dominating the Houston Texans on the way to a 27-19 victory.
Seattle improved to 5-2 on the season, while the Texans, fresh off a bye week, fall to 2-4.
Sam Darnold and the Seahawks’ offense got off to a roaring start in the first quarter, scoring two touchdowns on their first three drives as Zach Charbonnet and Jaxon Smith-Njigba found pay dirt once again this season.
