The Mariners won their fifth straight game on Wednesday, and it was a brutal battle that saw one aspect of their game pushed to their absolute limit while the team dragged its feet on the other side of the ball. How did they pull it off in extras to topple the Cardinals?

Mere minutes away from a signature season-opening win over the 49ers, the Seahawks couldn’t seal the deal when they had a chance to do so down the stretch, coming up short in their fourth straight home defeat in the rivalry.

The Seattle Mariners dropped the 15th game of their last 21 contests on Friday, as their road problems continued and their third wild card spot became ever more precarious. What was going wrong this time, and what is the way forward?

To say the Mariners are under the weather is an understatement. They dropped the 10th of their last 11 road games on Wednesday as the entire team fell apart once more. What can the team do to rectify the situation going into their next series?

A somewhat sluggish start led to the Washington Huskies being tied with the visiting Colorado State Rams in their season opener, but talent took over in the second half as the home team pulled away behind Demond Williams’ arm and leg and much stingier defense.

Holding high expectations with most of their stars returning and new talent onboard for Jedd Fisch’s squad, particularly in the trenches, the Washington Huskies will have their first chance to impress with Colorado State rolling into town.

Heating up after slumping upon his return to the Mariners, Eugenio Suarez appears to have found his swing at just the right time as his latest bomb helped propel Seattle past San Diego for a series win.

While the Seahawks have not made any stunning moves thus far trimming their roster to 53 players, the team did move on from a high-priced free agent addition and one of their Day 3 draft choices along with a few other minor surprises.

In their final dress rehearsal before the real bullets start flying on September 7, several young Seahawks will be looking to shine at Lambeau Field with roster spots and practice squad opportunities hanging in the balance.

The Huskies have high hopes entering their second season in the Big Ten behind young quarterback Demond Williams Jr. Where does Washington have the most talent and best depth heading into 2025?

Luis Castillo pitched much better than his previous outing and got out of some jams, while Julio Rodriguez and Eugenio Suárez both homered, yet Seattle got clobbered anyway. What were the big takeaways from the Mariners’ fifth straight defeat?

Trying to move players via trade in late August can be quite tricky with the rest of the league aiming to cut their own rosters down from 90 to 53. But the Seahawks could have a few assets that generate interest from other teams.

The Mariners hoped for a boost from the return of Bryce Miller on the mound, but their recent swoon now has extended to four games with many of the same issues hindering them again in Philadelphia.

With Denzel Boston and Jonah Coleman headlining a stellar returning core of players, could the Huskies be poised to take a massive jump forward in 2025 and surpass national expectations in year two in the Big Ten?

Trey Hendrickson and the Bengals seem even further from a resolution on his contract than they were earlier in the offseason, to the point where the team reportedly has started fielding offers. Who could the Seahawks dangle to pull off a blockbuster for the star pass rusher?

As Mike Macdonald put it, the Seahawks wouldn’t be batting 1.000 in training camp, and Wednesday’s final practice heading into their second preseason definitely dragged the batting average down with flags, mistimed snaps, and more.

Rapidly approaching their season opener, the Huskies have seen several players emerge in the early stages of fall camp on Montlake, including one of their high-ceiling freshmen offensive linemen.

In a back-and-forth practice where the Seahawks’ defense started fast and the offense finished strong, Jalen Milroe kept rolling with his new favorite target and answers regarding offensive line competitions continue to slowly emerge.

While the Huskies have loaded up on talent from the transfer portal since a disappointing first season in the Big Ten, Danny Sprinkle understands that the program will only take a big step forward if everyone buys in, which will require sacrifices.

Back to 100 percent health with a significant knee/hamstring injury behind him, Tory Horton continues to see more action with the Seahawks first-team offense by day, allowing the chance to establish chemistry with Sam Darnold.
