Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard return for a score. Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the game into overtime.
