Seahawks Overcome Turnovers to Beat Texans, Create NFC West Three-Way Tie

The Seattle Seahawks secured a 27-19 victory over the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football despite committing four turnovers, including a fumble returned for a Texans touchdown and multiple interceptions. Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold acknowledged the unusual nature of the win, crediting the team's strong defensive and special teams performances for overcoming offensive mistakes. Seattle's defense was dominant, sacking Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud three times, intercepting him once, and limiting Houston's offense to 254 yards while holding them out of the end zone until late in the game. Key offensive contributions came from Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who caught a touchdown pass, and running back Zach Charbonnet, who scored twice on the ground. The Seahawks improved to 5-2, showing resilience and defensive strength reminiscent of their famed Legion of Boom era, while the Texans fell to 2-4. Seattle now looks ahead to the bye week, with potential roster moves on the horizon to bolster an already formidable defense.
