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.

Forcing five turnovers and pitching their first shutout of the 2025 season, the Seahawks received key contributions from all three levels of their defense in a commanding 26-point blowout of the Vikings. Who starred in Seattle’s ninth win of the year?

Playing arguably his best football in the midst of his 12th season, Demarcus Lawrence has elevated the Seahawks’ defense to another level while oddly enough becoming an unexpected scoring source.

Forcing five turnovers while racking up a bunch of sacks and pressures along the way, the Seahawks didn’t let the Vikings find their comfort zone with a rookie quarterback under center, punishing the opposition to move into a three-way tie for the NFC’s best record.

Though Sam Darnold completed under 50 percent of his passes and took a quartet of sacks in the first two quarters, the Seahawks feasted on Vikings rookie Max Brosmer, turning a critical mistake into six points to build a 13-point advantage at the break.

Entering Sunday’s road tilt as heavy favorites against the one-win Titans, the Seahawks should have several advantageous matchups working in their favor, though the underdogs may have a big one to lean on with the visitors dealing with offensive line injuries.

Though they fell just short of an improbable comeback in a two-point loss to the Rams on Sunday, several Seahawks still turned in strong performances on the road. Who shined the brightest in defeat at SoFi Stadium?

Signing a four-time Pro Bowler in free agency normally wouldn’t hover under the radar. Somehow, the Seahawks adding Demarcus Lawrence didn’t draw much national attention in March, but the move now looks like one of the league’s best bargains.

Turnovers galore put the Seahawks behind the eight ball on Sunday in Los Angeles, but a stellar defensive performance kept the game within reach, only for a last-second game winning field goal to fall short in a hard-fought defeat.

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 been stingy allowing points to opponents with ferocious defensive lines, underrated linebackers, and versatile secondaries. Where does each team hold an edge going into Sunday’s first matchup at SoFi Stadium?

Scoring multiple touchdowns on offense and defense, the Seahawks put away the Cardinals in the first 20 minutes of Sunday’s rematch, coasting to a 22-point victory. Who shined brightest in Seattle’s fourth consecutive win?

Before the start of the season, few pundits expected the Seahawks to be a playoff team, let alone a Super Bowl contender. But after nine games, they absolutely belong in that conversation with a chance to snap several lengthy droughts.

Scoring 35 points in a first half avalanche, the Seahawks left no doubt as they quickly discarded the Cardinals in their Week 10 rematch, lighting up the scoreboard on offense and defense to cruise to a 22-point victory and set the stage for a massive road tilt with the Rams in Week 11.

While sloppy play allowed the Cardinals to close the gap a bit in the second half, an offensive and defensive scoring implosion by the Seahawks in the first two quarters provided an insurmountable lead as they raced to a fourth straight win to stay atop the NFC West in blowout fashion.

Making history with two defensive touchdowns while Sam Darnold and the offense kept humming, the Seahawks boat raced the Cardinals from the opening kick to build a 31-point halftime lead in front of a raucous Lumen Field crowd.

Only six weeks removed from their first encounter in the desert, the Seahawks and Cardinals will see plenty of familiar faces when they meet up again on Sunday. But one significant change has added a new wrinkle for Mike Macdonald and company to tackle in the rematch.

Just outside the top five in scoring defense, the Seahawks have lived up to expectations in Mike Macdonald’s second season in many regards, but Ernest Jones and company still have a ways to go to play up to their high standards.

Even as injuries mounted over the past month, with one blemish as an exception in Week 5, the Seahawks have kept momentum rolling with a top-five defense, further evidenced by stars and role players alike shining under the prime time lights against the Texans.

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.
