Bellingham, WASports

Sam Darnold's 244-yard, two-touchdown performance led the Seattle Seahawks to a 30-24 victory over the struggling Tennessee Titans. The Seahawks improved their record to 8-3, maintaining the first wild-card spot in the NFC playoff chase. Darnold's standout moment came with a 63-yard touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who finished the game with eight catches for 167 yards and two touchdowns, setting a franchise record for single-season receiving yards. The Titans, now at 1-10, suffered their sixth consecutive loss, highlighting their struggles with consistency as noted by interim coach Mike McCoy. Seattle's defense demonstrated its strength by sacking Titans quarterback Cam Ward four times.

Ward managed to pass for 256 yards and score a rushing touchdown, but it wasn't enough to rally the Titans. Injuries affected both teams, with multiple players ruled out, including Seattle's LB Chazz Surratt and RB George Holani. The Seahawks are now positioned strongly for the playoffs as they look ahead to their next matchup.
