The victory keeps Seattle's momentum going as they look to establish themselves early in the year, while the Panthers will need to regroup after a hard-fought effort on the road.
Sam Darnold shone for the Seahawks, throwing for two touchdowns and leading the offense effectively, while Haynes King put up impressive numbers for the Panthers with 367 passing yards. Jadarian Price contributed a solid ground game with 64 rushing yards, helping to balance Seattle's offensive attack.

Carolina's defense, led by Trevin Wallace's seven tackles and Nic Scourton's sack, fought valiantly, but ultimately could not contain Seattle's offensive threats when it mattered most.
