The Seattle Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Chargers 30-23 on Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026, in Seattle. Seattle moved to 3-1. Los Angeles fell to 0-4 for a fourth straight loss to start the season. Emanuel Wilson rushed for 81 yards on 21 carries and caught three passes for 39 yards, scoring on a 23-yard catch and an 8-yard run after Jadarian Price was placed on injured reserve Saturday for a chest injury. Sam Darnold threw for 168 yards and two touchdowns. Justin Herbert threw for 189 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, was sacked four times for 35 yards, and has six interceptions and 12 sacks this season. Both teams threw interceptions on their opening plays from scrimmage, with Drake Thomas and Tuli Tuipulotu the interceptors; Sportradar said it was the first such game since at least 1991. Derius Davis muffed a punt return recovered by Connor O'Toole, and Seattle scored on the next play. Cameron Dicker made field goals of 40, 39 and 36 yards. Jason Myers missed an extra point and ended an 80-PAT streak. Seattle had a franchise-record 150 penalty yards on 14 penalties. Herbert's sack-fumble under two minutes left sealed the result. CONTESTED: No factual disputes are present in the record.
