Seattle Seahawks vs. Houston Texans: The Battle of the Bottom Dwellers

A Defensive Struggle Ends in a 0-0 Draw

October 28, 2024

In a game that featured more punts than points, the Seattle Seahawks and Houston Texans played to a 0-0 draw on Monday Night Football. It was the first scoreless tie in the NFL since 2017, and the first ever in a primetime game.

The Seahawks had the best chance to break the deadlock late in the fourth quarter, but Jason Myers missed a 45-yard field goal with just over two minutes remaining.

The Texans, who entered the game with the worst record in the NFL, had a chance to win it on the ensuing drive, but Davis Mills was intercepted by Tariq Woolen in the end zone with just seconds remaining.

The tie leaves both teams at 1-7 on the season. The Seahawks have now lost six straight games, while the Texans have lost seven straight.

Defensive Dominance

The defenses of both teams were the stars of the show on Monday night. The Seahawks held the Texans to just 183 yards of total offense, while the Texans held the Seahawks to just 210 yards.

The Seahawks sacked Mills four times and forced him to fumble twice. The Texans sacked Geno Smith three times and forced him to fumble once.

The game was also a battle of field position, as both teams struggled to sustain drives. The Seahawks had just three drives that lasted more than five plays, while the Texans had just two.

Offensive Struggles

The offenses of both teams were anemic on Monday night. The Seahawks managed just 10 first downs and converted just 2 of 12 third downs.

The Texans were even worse, managing just 6 first downs and converting just 1 of 10 third downs.

The only亮点of the game came in the fourth quarter, when Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf made a spectacular one-handed catch for a 35-yard gain.

Conclusion

The 0-0 tie between the Seahawks and Texans was a forgettable game for both teams. The defenses dominated the game, and the offenses struggled to move the ball.

The tie does little to help either team's playoff hopes. The Seahawks are now 1-7 on the season, while the Texans are 1-7. Both teams have a lot of work to do if they want to turn their seasons around.
