Russell Wilson credits Kansas City Chiefs in Seattle Seahawks defeat

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has credited the Kansas City Chiefs for their performance in their victory over his side.

The Seahawks succumbed to their fourth defeat of the season with their 24-20 loss at Arrowhead Stadium, but they did have the chance to win the late on when Wilson drove them downfield, only to be stopped four times by the Chiefs' defense.

"We knew we were playing a great football team and we had to take some chances," Wilson said. "We were down and we had to take some shots. They were able to stop us. They made some great plays."

Pete Carroll's men now trail the Arizona Cardinals by three matches in their race for the NFC West title.
