Seahawks: 4 observations after preseason finale with Chiefs

The Seahawks’ preseason finale against the Chiefs offered a mixed but instructive snapshot as Seattle finished its run with a 0-2-1 record. Coach Mike Macdonald said the team is in a “great place” entering the regular season after training camp began July 25, even though Seattle was outscored 45-32 and outgained 968-673 in preseason action. A key detail: Seattle committed 35 penalties for 290 yards, narrowly matching opponents’ 35 flags for 284. Penalty totals mirrored how many starters and key players sat out. Quarterback Jalen Milroe delivered a stabilizing performance, completing 16 of 26 passes for 223 yards, a TD, no interceptions, and only one sack, plus a 30-yard connection to Emmanuel Henderson Jr. on the final drive. Spanish summary follows: his growth statement included missing a late 52-yard field-goal attempt by Jason Myers as time expired.
