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.

Throwing four touchdowns in the first half, Sam Darnold deserved all the flowers leading the Seahawks to a blowout win in Landover. But with injuries on both sides of the ball, it was a complete team win with no shortage of standouts shining under the lights.

Scoring 31 points before halftime, the Seahawks’ offense set Northwest Stadium on proverbial fire behind a historic night from Sam Darnold, leading to an easy blowout primetime victory over the Commanders.

Spearheaded by an all-world performance by Sam Darnold, the Seahawks showed no rust coming out of their bye week, racing out to a 24-point lead on the road in prime time.

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.

Closing in on the halfway point of their rookie seasons, how have Tory Horton and company performed thus far for the Seahawks?

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.

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.

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.

Putting it together in all three phases to the delight of the hometown crowd, the Seahawks enjoyed one of their most lopsided victories at Lumen Field against the Saints on Sunday. Who shined brightest in the 31-point domination?

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?

Leading to 30 points with their efforts, special teams told the story as the Seahawks blew out the Saints for a much-needed home victory.

Success on their own turf has been hard to come by for much of the Mike Macdonald era, but on Sunday, the culture the coach and his staff continue to build with the Seahawks manifested into one of the most dominant performances in their 50-year history.

Scoring on every one of their offensive possessions with a perfect 4-for-4 showing in the red zone while dominating on special teams, the Seahawks turned their Week 3 home contest against the Saints into a laugher in no time.

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.

The Seattle Seahawks bounced back from a week one loss to take a game on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers. What were the five key moments that led to the Hawks’ victory?

Despite producing 100-plus yards of offense more than their opponent, the Seahawks shot themselves in the foot several times during an ugly first half against the Steelers, going into intermission trailing thanks to a litany of miscues on offense and special teams.

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?

The regular season may be underway, but after a close loss to the 49ers on Sunday, the Seahawks have a few positions with ongoing competitions set to play out in coming weeks and some tough conversations could soon be on tap in the secondary.

Though he’s ramped up his activity at practice, Uchenna Nwosu won’t be ready to suit up for the Seahawks in Sunday’s opener, while two veteran wideouts will also be held out against the 49ers.
