Seahawks Stay Undefeated at 3-0 with Dominant Defensive Performance Over Panthers
The Seattle Seahawks continued their impressive start to the season, improving to 3-0 after a hard-fought 21-14 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Despite being without star quarterback Jordan Love, who was sidelined due to a suspension, Seattle leaned on its defense and a resilient team effort to secure the win.
Defense Takes Center Stage
Seattle’s defense was the story of the game, stepping up in a big way to compensate for the absence of Love. The unit forced three turnovers and stifled Carolina’s offense, allowing only 49 rushing yards and keeping their passing attack in check. The Panthers managed just 225 total yards of offense, as Seattle’s defensive front consistently disrupted plays and applied pressure.
In key moments, the Seahawks’ defense held firm, limiting Carolina to a 1-for-5 conversion rate on third downs and a single trip to the end zone. The Panthers’ only score came in the first quarter, as Seattle shut them out for the remainder of the game.
Offense Finds a Way
Without Love at the helm, the Seahawks relied on a balanced offensive attack to grind out the win. The team racked up 351 total yards, with 129 coming on the ground and 150 through the air. While the passing game wasn’t as dynamic as usual, Seattle’s ground game provided stability and clock control, helping to wear down the Panthers’ defense.
Two touchdowns in the fourth quarter proved to be the difference, as the Seahawks capitalized on turnovers and key field position to take the lead for good.
