The Seattle Seahawks (5-2) triumphed 27-19 over the Houston Texans (2-4) in a game that wasn't as close as the scoreboard indicated. Seattle struggled to get out of their own way, committing four turnovers -- their most in a game since 2020.

The Texans return from their off week with a tough game in Seattle needing to keep pace in a crowded AFC playoff race.

Before Monday, the last team to hit those three numbers and win was the SAN DIEGO Chargers back in November 2000 when they had 149 yards passing, five turnovers and a 9.1% third-down conversion rate in a 17-16 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. That was 25 years ago. Even Sam Darnold had to admit the game was a little bizarre.

In prime time, the Texans plunged to their most embarrassing loss of the season, a miscue-filled defeat that confirmed they're not among the NFL's elite.

Monday night was a tough one for the Houston Texans. The defense manufactured four takeaways against the Seattle Seahawks, held Seattle to just two third-down conversions in the entire game, scored a touchdown themselves — all to lose by eight points in a 27-19 defeat to the Seahawks.
