The Seattle Seahawks improved their season record to 3-1 following a challenging 30-23 victory against the Los Angeles Chargers. The contest was characterized by numerous errors, starting with consecutive interceptions on the opening offensive plays. A franchise-record 14 penalties for 150 yards were called against the Seahawks, disrupting any consistent game flow.
The fourth quarter proved particularly concerning for Seattle, as they were outscored 10-0 and outgained significantly. Despite opportunities to secure the win earlier, the offense failed to extend drives, and the defense permitted the Chargers to narrow the score to a one-possession game.
Compounding the offensive challenges were significant injuries to the running back corps, with Jadarian Price out for a month and Zach Charbonnet still recovering. Emanuel Wilson emerged as the featured back, rushing for 81 yards and two touchdowns, demonstrating a power-running style. Additional contributions from George Holani and a trick-play touchdown by wide receiver Rashid Shaheed helped the team accumulate 138 rushing yards.
