The Seahawks would once again win a close game after intercepting Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott in the endzone.

While Russell Wilson finished with 388 yards and 3 touchdown passes to Tyler Lockett, he also finished with three interceptions, including a costly one in overtime to Cardinals rookie linebacker Isaiah Simmons that eventually set up the decisive field goal by Zane Gonzalez.

The Seahawks returned home after their overtime loss at Arizona, and rebounded with a dominant win over the arch-rival San Francisco 49ers.

The 44–34 loss dropped Seattle to 6–2 on the season, and the 44 points surrendered were the most in the Pete Carroll era.

Seattle's rushing attack was bolstered by the return of Carlos Hyde from injury, racking up 165 yards.

Seattle took sole possession of first place in the division with the Rams' surprising loss to the then-winless New York Jets later that day.
