  "account": "Seattle Seahawks' Quarterback Jalen Milroe had a strong performance during the preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs, showcasing his ability to make quality passes and gain yards. His 16/26 completion rate, 223 passing yards, and a touchdown made him look more like a starter than the third or fourth-string quarterback. This performance could potentially pave the way for him to become the starter for the 2027 season.\n\nOn the other hand, Jason Myers' kicking performance was poor, as he failed to make more than half of his field goals and PATs. This disappointing showing raises concerns for the Seahawks' kicking situation, as it's unlikely that Myers will be able to regain his form before the cut-down day. His contract year has started off on an inauspicious note.\n\nOther notable players from the game include Trevon Diggs, who had an impressive game and will likely remain on the roster, and Nehemiah Pritchett, who was crucial in holding the Chiefs to a field goal in the red zone. Cody White also had a strong performance, bouncing back from his previous struggles against the Tennessee Titans. However, Cody's performance was not his best day, as he muffed a punt and dropped a deep pass.\n\nOverall, this game was an important showcase for Milroe and other roster bubble players, with some demonstrating notable improvement and others falling short of expectations.",
