The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Carolina Panthers 27-10, extending their winning streak to six games and moving closer to securing the NFC's top seed. Quarterback Sam Darnold contributed a touchdown pass and nine catches by Jaxson Smith-Njigba aided Seattle's offense. The Panthers, struggling offensively, saw Bryce Young score their only touchdown but were limited to 139 total yards. Carolina's playoff hopes now hinge on a potential win against Tampa Bay or specific outcomes involving the Atlanta Falcons.
