The Seahawks took an early 7-0 lead. After the defense forced a turnover on downs, the hosts went 61 yards on five plays, the biggest one being a 46-yard screen pass to Kenneth Walker III. Zach Charbonnet finished the drive with a 4-yard run up the middle.

Erasing a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter, Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold found tight end AJ Barner for a 26-yard touchdown with just 6:23 left in the game. That made it 30-28, but Seattle still needed the ensuing two-point try to tie it up.
