Texans vs. Seahawks: Score, results, highlights from Week 8 game in Seattle image

As Sunday's Texans-Seahawks game in Seattle approached, storylines like Houston's standing in the AFC South behind impressive rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson and Seattle's quest to remain a power in the NFC behind Russell Wilson seemed secondary.

Then, despite the off-field noise, an instant classic played out on the field in Seattle, as the Seahawks edged the Texans for a 41-38 win.

Texans players were expected to stage a protest before Sunday's game in the wake of team owner Bob McNair's controversial comments, which were revealed Friday in an ESPN report, from last week's owners meeting. McNair's reported meeting with Texans players over the weekend had little effect on their feelings about his words. As a result, many Houston players kneeled during the national anthem before Sunday's game.
