Chiefs-Seahawks: 4 instant takeaways from deflating loss in Seattle

The Kansas City Chiefs suffered their first defeat of the season in a 20-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes struggled significantly, recording a 58.3 passer rating and averaging only five yards per attempt while dealing with unfamiliar personnel on the offensive line.

His performance included two turnovers and a series of inaccurate throws throughout the contest.

Defensively, Kansas City failed to contain Seattle's passing attack, particularly in the slot. Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp exploited the middle of the field, helping the Seahawks convert nine of their first eleven third-down opportunities.

L'Jarius Sneed and Mansoor Delane faced difficulties in coverage as the Chiefs' secondary struggled to disrupt the rhythm of the Seattle receivers.
