Chiefs Experience First Red Zone Shutout in Mahomes' Career During Loss to Seahawks

The Kansas City Chiefs suffered a 20-3 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks, marking their first loss of the 2026 season. This game was notable as it was the first time in Patrick Mahomes' 153 career starts, including playoffs, that the Chiefs did not reach the red zone.

The Seahawks showcased a strong defensive performance, pressuring Mahomes on 53 percent of his dropbacks and limiting the Chiefs to just 213 total yards and 11 first downs. Mahomes completed 19 of 33 passes for 165 yards and threw one interception, while the Chiefs converted only three of 11 third-down attempts.

Despite a 50-yard field goal from Harrison Butker in the third quarter, the Chiefs struggled to maintain offensive momentum. The absence of wide receiver Rashee Rice and the inability to establish a running game further complicated their efforts. With a divisional matchup against the Denver Broncos approaching, the Chiefs must quickly address these issues to avoid further setbacks.
