In a decisive Week 11 showdown, the Seattle Seahawks topped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a final score of 31-14, solidifying their position in the playoff race. With both teams vying for crucial wins, Seattle's performance showcased their dominance on both sides of the ball. Sam Darnold delivered a standout performance for the Seahawks, throwing for an impressive 353 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his ability to connect with receivers downfield. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the star of the receiving corps, racking up 160 receiving yards and proving to be a reliable target throughout the game. Meanwhile, Baker Mayfield led the Buccaneers on the ground with 62 rushing yards, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with Seattle's offensive firepower. Defensively, Ernest Jones IV was a force for the Seahawks, making five tackles and snagging an interception that shifted momentum in their favor. The turning point came in the second quarter when Jones's interception set up Darnold’s third touchdown pass, extending Seattle's lead and putting Tampa Bay on their heels. The Buccaneers struggled to recover from that moment, as Seattle's defense continued to apply pressure, limiting their scoring opportunities and sealing the victory.
