The Seattle Seahawks clinched a crucial victory over the Carolina Panthers, finishing the game with a score of 23-16 in Week 17 of the 2026 season. With playoff implications on the line, both teams fought hard, but it was Seattle that emerged victorious, solidifying their postseason hopes as the regular season winds down. Seattle's offense was powered by a standout performance from Jadarian Price, who rushed for 99 yards, consistently pushing the Seahawks forward. Meanwhile, Bryce Young of the Panthers threw for 245 yards and secured one touchdown, but it was Tetairoa McMillan's impressive 102 receiving yards that kept Carolina in the mix until the final whistle. Defensively, the Seahawks made key plays that shifted momentum in their favor. Devon Witherspoon led the charge with six total tackles, while Daiyan Henley contributed significantly with 1.5 sacks, pressuring Young throughout the game. The turning point came late in the fourth quarter when Marshon Lattimore intercepted a crucial pass, giving Seattle the opportunity to control the clock and seal the win.
