Game Preview
This matchup features two quarterbacks trending in different directions. C.J. Stroud has shown promise in his second year, leading the Texans with improved accuracy and poise. However, he faces a tough challenge against Seattle’s opportunistic secondary and relentless pass rush.
Sam Darnold, meanwhile, has revitalized his career in Seattle, operating efficiently behind a strong offensive line and leaning on a balanced attack led by Kenneth Walker III. The Seahawks’ home-field advantage, fueled by the roaring 12th Man, could play a major role in disrupting Houston’s offensive rhythm.
Defensively, Seattle’s front seven has been dominant against the run, while Houston will rely on its defensive versatility and the leadership of head coach DeMeco Ryans to keep things close.
Prediction
The Texans have the talent to make this a competitive matchup, but Seattle’s experience, crowd noise, and late-game execution give them the edge. Expect a defensive battle that opens up late in the second half.
Projected Score: Seahawks 24, Texans 17
