Seahawks offense self-destructs in red zone, lose 17-13 to Bengals

The Seattle Seahawks (3-2) should’ve beaten the Cincinnati Bengals (3-3), but the offense was highly culpable for their failures to finish drives in the red zone.

Geno Smith threw two interceptions, took multiple untimely sacks, and the red zone offense only managed 10 points in 5 trips. The opening drive touchdown that looked so promising gave way to a disjointed performance and a 17-13 loss to Joe Burrow and company.

Seattle’s defense allowed 14 points on the first two drives, but locked the Bengals offense down and limited them to just a field goal the rest of the way (on a 0-yard drive).
