Seahawks punt on second possession of third quarter, still up 12-0

The Seattle Seahawks currently lead the New England Patriots 12-0, despite not scoring a touchdown. During the second half, Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold was sacked by Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams for an eight-yard loss. Subsequent plays included a short pass to wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and a short run by running back Kenneth Walker, leading to Seattle's fourth punt of the game. The Seahawks appear to be relying heavily on their defense, which may face a challenge as linebacker Tyrice Knight is being evaluated for a concussion.
