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.

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?

The Seahawks already have a top-five caliber defense, but John Schneider always has his eyes on ways to improve the roster. Could he buck past trends by going all-in at the trade deadline for an elite pass rusher?

Closer to full strength in the secondary, the Seahawks will be challenged by Jayden Daniels’ mobility, while the chance to awaken an inconsistent run game may present itself for the visitors in prime time against a Commanders defense that has endured plenty of struggles thus far.

Just three days away from the NFL trade deadline, two prominent members of the Seahawks’ defense continue to be dangled as trade targets. What’s behind the rumors and would Seattle actually move Riq Woolen or Boye Mafe?

While the Seahawks won’t be quite at full strength in the secondary for Sunday night’s clash with the Commanders, Mike Macdonald will have to navigate a potentially tricky situation with two of the team’s best weapons playing together for the first time since Week 1.

Boasting a top-five offense and top-six defense, the Seahawks stack up favorably with the best of the best, at least on paper, after seven games. But to be viewed as a true contender that can stay atop a competitive NFC West, several areas must be shored up in the second half.

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.

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.

Winding up on the wrong end of a shootout on Sunday, the Seahawks allowed nearly 400 passing yards to Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers, leaving Mike Macdonald searching for answers. Looking at 10 explosive pass plays allowed, what went wrong defensively?

Licking their wounds after a 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers, the Seahawks could have a few key defensive players returning this week, but Devon Witherspoon’s status remains one of potential concern.

Typically, scoring 35 points in an NFL game leads to victory. But the Seahawks endured an uncharacteristic off day at the wrong time with busted coverages, missed tackles, and an anemic pass rush that left Mike Macdonald seeking answers after a 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.

Despite over 340 passing yards and four touchdowns from Sam Darnold, one lone mistake from the quarterback cost the Seahawks in a tight, high-scoring affair as the Buccaneers escaped with a 38-35 win at Lumen Field.

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.

Minus Devon Witherspoon, the Seahawks could face a major challenge against a talented Bucs receiving corps. How do Riq Woolen, Josh Jobe, and company stack up against Emeka Egbuka and Tampa's wideouts?

In the midst of a contract year, Riq Woolen’s fourth season with the Seahawks hasn’t gone according to plan thus far. With rumors swirling, does it make sense for the team to consider moving the talented, yet inconsistent cornerback?

While both teams enter Week 3 battling injuries at key position groups that could dictate who wins Sunday, slowing down the Saints’ still elusive, dynamic running back stands atop the goals for the Seahawks.

Meeting up in a rare matchup in Pittsburgh, the Seahawks will have sights on their first win in 2025 while the Steelers look to stay unbeaten early in the rugged AFC North. Which matchups will dictate who lands a Week 2 victory?
