Backs against the wall and on the wrong side of a 30-7 scoring run by the Rams, the Seahawks had every reason to fold on Thursday night. But impressive distribution to all of their playmakers down the stretch paved the way for a historic comeback to clinch a playoff spot.

For the first time in a month, the Seahawks got off to a quick start on offense. But they couldn’t sustain that momentum over the next 20 minutes, entering the break trailing the Rams by six.

With both teams missing a key starter on offense, the Seahawks and Rams will each have to make adjustments accordingly in what likely will be a defensive slugfest in inclement weather conditions. Which matchups will determine who holds the No. 1 seed by Friday?

For just the fourth time in franchise history, the Seahawks willed themselves to a win on Sunday despite failing to score an offensive touchdown. But the victory may have created more questions than answers for an offense that has been bogged down for a month.

The architect of a Super Bowl winner and double-digit playoff teams, John Schneider has done his best work yet calling the shots on his own with the Seahawks in 2025. It’s well past time for him to finally receive his due as the best of the best.

In the midst of a lengthy slump with turnovers and sacks stacking in bunches, Sam Darnold pivoted to the most underrated part of his game to get back on track as the Seahawks blitzed the Falcons in the second half on Sunday.

For 30 minutes, the Seahawks appeared to be in trouble with the underdog Falcons tying them up in a low-scoring affair. But then lightning struck in the form of Rashid Shaheed and from there, Seattle took over in emphatic fashion for another blowout victory.

A bad interception by Sam Darnold and two unfinished red zone trips put the Seahawks behind at the half, but they remain well within striking distance of the Rams with the offense eating a lot of clock to go into the break only down five points.

Racing out to 7-2 starts, the Seahawks and Rams have put a ton of points on the board behind their star quarterbacks, talented receiving corps, and improved offensive lines. Where does each team hold an edge going into Sunday’s first matchup at SoFi Stadium?

The Seahawks may not have been inclined to ease Rashid Shaheed into action anyway, but thanks to a litany of injuries, there won’t be any training wheels as his new team has no choice but to fully unleash him five days after arriving from the Saints.

Headlined by Julian Love’s prolonged absence, early half a dozen players were ruled out by the Seahawks two days before kickoff, a sign that more moves could be coming in the next 24 hours as the team gears up for a tough road contest against the Commanders.

Ranking fifth in points per game, the Seahawks have eclipsed expectations amid a 5-2 start to the 2025 season thanks to Sam Darnold’s brilliance and an improving offensive line, but there’s still plenty of room for improvement heading into the bye week.

Turnovers and dropped interceptions kept a game that appeared to be teetering towards a blowout close on Monday Night Football, but the Seahawks found a way to close out a pesky Texans squad and keep pace in the NFC West heading into their bye week.

Pitting two of the NFL’s fiercest defenses against each other in prime time, the Seahawks hope to find a kink in the Texans’ armor and heat up C.J. Stroud, while the visitors intend to make life tough on Sam Darnold with a vicious edge rush and ball hawking defenders on the back end.

The Seahawks brought Cooper Kupp onboard for his soft hands, leadership, and championship pedigree. But as demonstrated once again in Sunday’s loss to the Buccaneers, his most important asset to his new team doesn’t always show up in the box score.

Offensively, the Seahawks put up plenty of fireworks on Sunday, but it wasn’t enough to hold on for a Week 5 win as the Buccaneers escaped with a 38-35 victory. Which players stood out for Seattle in defeat?

With the Seahawks and Buccaneers both dealing with several significant injuries, banged up secondaries will be challenged by talented receivers and the onus will fall on both defensive lines to set the tone rushing Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield as an equalizer.

Putting a discouraging season opener behind them, the Seahawks have averaged north of 30 points per game on offense in back-to-back wins over the Steelers and Saints. What have we learned about Klint Kubiak’s group in the first three weeks?
