The Seattle Seahawks are making a statement with their 20-3 win against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7's edition of Sunday Night Football.
After back-to-back losses, the Seahawks needed to bounce back strong, and they did just that against the Chiefs. Here's a look at the winners and losers from the matchup.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba looked dominant once again against the Chiefs. The NFL's leading receiver added to his total with 150 yards on nine catches and a touchdown.
JSN continues to establish himself as the best wideout in the game, and doing so against a really good defense like the Chiefs' only solidifies that.
The front seven stifled the Chiefs' offense all day long. Kenneth Walker III came into the game averaging 133 rushing yards per contest, but he managed to only gain 36 yards on the ground on 14 carries, good for 2.6 yards per carry.
By taking out Kansas City's top weapon, the Seahawks were able to take control of the game from there.
While Walker struggled for the Chiefs, his replacement, Emanuel Wilson, had one of his best showings of the season. Wilson gained 82 yards on 20 carries and had a touchdown of his own in the fourth quarter to secure the victory.
Wilson might concede some carries in the coming weeks to Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price as they return from their injuries, but he looks like someone who deserves a role within the offense.
Seahawks defensive back Ty Okada had the Seahawks' lone turnover of the evening. His interception in the second quarter, as the Chiefs were entering Seahawks territory, took away a bunch of momentum, and Seattle was able to capitalize with a touchdown on the ensuing drive. Okada's big play put the Seahawks on a path to victory, and he should be commended for it.
On a night when a lot of things went the Seahawks' way, Rashid Shaheed is the lone loser in the matchup. Shaheed suffered a knee injury that knocked him out for the rest of the game.
It remains to be seen how long Shaheed will be out, but his absence is definitely a loss for the Seahawks' offense.
