The Seahawks have not fared particularly well at home under head coach Mike Macdonald.
They’re off to a fast start in the Week 7 nightcap.
Zach Charbonnet powered his way into the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown midway through the first quarter, giving Seattle a 7-0 lead.
Charbonnet’s touchdown capped a short five-play, 44-yard drive.
The Seahawks had such a short field in large part because Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud nearly made a catastrophic mistake drifting back toward his own end zone. On third-and-13 from the Houston 19, Stroud drifted backward until it looked like he was taken down into the end zone for a safety. But the officials ruled Stroud’s forward progress had him stopped at the 1-yard line.
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald was clearly unhappy about that ruling on the sideline, particularly because it was not a reviewable play.
After the punt, the Seahawks started with the ball at the Houston 44.
From there, quarterback Sam Darnold hit tight end Elijah Arroyo down the right side for a 27-yard gain, putting the Seahawks in scoring position at the 12-yard line.
Then Darnold hit Arroyo again for an 8-yard gain down to the Houston 1-yard line.
That’s when Charbonnet made his way across the goal line for his fourth rushing touchdown of the season.
