Last week, after defeating the Atlanta Falcons in a rather dominant manner, the Seahawks maintained the same average power ranking. Could a sloppy victory over grandfather, Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts potentially drop the Seahawks down? Surprisingly, the five national media sites did not overreact to the close game against the Colts. Of the […]
Two teams have officially clinched playoff berths for the 2025 playoffs. The Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams both clinched on Sunday evening further guaranteeing themselves another week of competition. 12 teams have already been eliminated; leaving nine teams from each conference fighting for the remaining six spots. Thursday Night Football of the Week 16 […]
It is officially Jason Myers appreciation season. After putting up all 18 points for the Seattle Seahawks last week against the Indianapolis Colts, Myers is starting to get praise from all around the national media. From appearances on the Pat McAfee show, to winning NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for November, to breaking […]
Alrighty, this is a weird one. The Seattle Seahawks narrowly beat the Indianapolis Colts, so this is as close to doing an Enemy Reaction for a Seahawks loss as I’ve ever come. Not that the Seahawks haven’t had close wins before, but the thought of losing to 44-year-old Philip Rivers at quarterback as a two-touchdown […]
I didn’t think I would be doing a Philip Rivers breakdown this season, but here we are! Let’s go play by play and review how he did in his return to the NFL after being retired for 5 years. Below are all his pass attempts from the game, which can be watched directly on Youtube. […]
Stock Up Blake Grupe 4/4 on his kicks, including 54, and 60 yard makes, the last one to put the Colts up with less than a minute remaining in the game. This was perhaps the Colts’ best kicking performance since Matt Gay in Baltimore two seasons ago, and it is even more impressive considering Grupe […]

The Seattle Seahawks (11-3) will attempt to build on a four-game winning streak when they host the Los Angeles Rams (11-3) on Thursday, December 18, 2025 at Lumen Field.
The Rams have been finding success on both offense and defense, ranking second-best in scoring offense (30.0 points per game) and third-best in scoring defense (18.6 points allowed per game). The Seahawks have excelled on both offense and defense this season, ranking fifth-best in points per game (28.9) and second-best in po...
The good news for the Seattle Seahawks is that Jason Myers is a boss. The bad news is his winning field goal against the Indianapolis Colts may have come at the loss of starting left tackle Charles Cross. Keen observers noted that Cross was not on the field for victory formation on the game’s final […]
Week 16’s Thursday Night Football clash between the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks is probably the most important game for either team this season. The Rams are on a two-game win streak. If we pop the hood and look underneath, there is a concerning trend for Los Angeles that could derail their hopes of […]
It also could’ve gone worse. And it didn’t do that, either. All things considered, not a top 50 disappointing game in Seattle Seahawks history. It had all the right ingredients for a catastrophe casserole, but in the end nobody choked. An afternoon that definitely started annoying was quelled before reaching full rage-inducing mode. In conclusion, […]
As the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams prepare to meet in a pivotal NFC West clash, the betting market at FanDuel Sportsbook reflects just how evenly matched these division leaders are — and how much is on the line. With both teams locked near the top of the NFC and playoff seeding implications, oddsmakers […]
After not allowing opponents to score a touchdown for 9 consecutive quarters, the Seattle Seahawks said “this looks fun, let me try!” Six scoring drives. 18 points. Six scoring drives if they’re touchdowns gets you 42 points. Field goals don’t win postseason games. Unless, apparently, Jason Myers is on a hot one. I’ll just get […]
The San Francisco 49ers have pulled their 10th win out for the 2025 season, continuing Kyle Shanahan’s masterclass of winning with an injured roster. While some might be a bit concerned about the Titans getting a fumble and getting back into the game as a result, it was one of those things that just happens. […]
So far in the 2025 season the Seattle Seahawks have won five games by 20 or more points, with rookie offensive lineman Bryce Cabeldue playing a key role in each of those victories. Specifically, Cabeldue has logged offensive snaps in exactly five contests this year, with those five games being: Cabeldue’s absence on offense has […]
What the hell was that?? Just when you think you’ve seen everything, the Seattle Seahawks turn back the clock to secure a vintage Pete Carroll-esque 18-16 victory with six (!!!!!!) Jason Myers field goals accounting for all of the points. I guess it was fitting as 44 year old Philip Rivers came out of retirement […]
8-6, four losses in a row, and the playoffs look further and further away each week, but gaddumit this one was fun. I cannot bring myself to be mad about this one. Yes it would have been amazing to win it, especially after being so close, but everyone gave their uttermost effort yesterday, and the […]
In Today’s Links: it was a game that decidedly had no consistent prediction from the pundits, both far and wide. As it went, Jason Myers showed us all in the Greater Hawkdom why he and the Seattle Seahawks Special Teams unit (Jay’s Jiants) have been truly special this season. Below are several articles, dissertations, takeaways, […]
The Los Angeles Rams clinched a playoff spot with their win on Sunday, but they don’t have much time to celebrate because they play a massive game against the Seattle Seahawks this Thursday. This could be the biggest game of the year for the Rams and for the NFC as the winner of this game, […]
The Los Angeles Rams retained their grip on the NFC’s top seed following a 41-34 shootout win over the Detroit Lions. L.A. is set up nicely ahead of a HUGE road matchup against the Seahawks on a short week. Without further ado, let’s get into the good, the bad and the ugly from Week 15. […]
The Seattle Seahawks handled their business in Week 15 and it opens the door to a huge opportunity this coming Thursday. It wasn’t pretty, but the Seahawks beat the Indianapolis Colts 18-16, winning on a last second field goal. Regardless of how they performed, Seattle got a much-needed win to set up a massive Thursday […]
The Indianapolis Colts nearly sprung an upset of the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15, but even with the loss, they still have a shot at a playoff berth. Indy has shot at both the AFC South title and a wild card berth, but they’ll need some help after Week 15’s results. The schedule does not […]
While Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald has had his fair share of struggles with managing the clock in 2025, that wasn’t the case on Sunday. As the Seahawks barely eked out a victory over the Indianapolis Colts, thanks in large part to Macdonald using his three timeouts to preserve 47 seconds for his offense’s […]
