The Chiefs marched 63 yards on 14 plays on their opening possession only to have the drive stall out inside Seattle's 20-yard line. Kareem Hunt was stopped by K.J. Wright for a 4-yard loss on third-and-1 at the Seattle 8-yard line to force a 30-yard field goal from Sam Ficken. Alex Smith completed just 7 of 17 passes for 44 yards before leaving the game.
The drive ultimately proved even more costly for the Chiefs as running back Spencer Ware left the game on a cart with a knee injury and did not return. He was injured on a six-yard reception late in the drive as Terence Garvin made the tackle.
After a pair of Blair Walsh field goals, Wilson connected with fullback Tre Madden for a 2-yard touchdown to give the Seahawks a 13-3 lead.
De'Anthony Thomas returned the ensuing kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown to close the deficit to 13-10. It was the Chiefs' only touchdown of the night.
Walsh would add two more field goals to extend the lead to 19-10 early in the third quarter.
First-round pick Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs on a 74-yard drive that resulted in a 32-yard field goal by Ficken to trim Seattle's lead to 19-13. Mahomes was 8 of 15 for 70 yards in his limited action.
The Seahawks added another touchdown in the fourth quarter as Austin Davis connected with Tanner McEvoy for a 28-yard score. Backup quarterback Trevone Boykin posted a 0.0 passer rating, going 0 for 6 with an interception.
