SEATTLE — On Friday, August 16, 2025, the Seattle Seahawks played their second preseason match, in which they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs with a score of 33-16. This was an important game for both teams, allowing them to assess their readiness for the new season.

The Seahawks demonstrated effective offensive play, notably, new quarterback Klyte Kubik executed a plan that included prepared approaches in the attack. In the first half, running back Zak Sharbonnet broke through 13 yards, and in the subsequent nine plays, the team exemplified how they want to play in the new season.

The offense of the team, led by quarterback Semom Darnold, showed a strong performance, completing 4 out of 4 passes for 34 yards. After the first series, which ended in a touchdown by Sharbonnet, the starting lineup of the Seahawks left the field, leaving room for reserve players.

The Chiefs, in turn, also had the opportunity to evaluate their game, although they played without several key players, such as Patrick Mahomes and Trevis Kelsey. The game revealed specific problems, including instability in the attack and injuries affecting several players on the team.

The Chiefs team showed that they still need to work on their weaknesses, particularly at the running back position, where starting player Isiah Pacheco demonstrated positive results, but the reserve players failed to maintain that trend. Coach Andy Reid noted that the team needs to improve their game to be ready for the regular season.

At the same time, injuries sustained by the Chiefs players may affect their preparation for the upcoming match against the Chicago Bears, in which Reid confirmed that the main players, such as Mahomes and Kelsey, will be playing.
