The Seattle Seahawks have a new wide receiver in town, and if you blink you might miss him. Former New Orleans Saints speedster Rashid Shaheed was traded to Seattle on Tuesday, with the Seahawks giving up fourth- and fifth-round draft picks in the process. With a full roster, someone had to be let go or […]

The Seattle Seahawks didn’t make a splash trade on deadline day, but they did make a reasonably significant move by acquiring wide receiver and kick/punt return specialist Rashid Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints. As if this league-leading explosive passing attack didn’t have enough firepower, Shaheed adds another speed and downfield threat element while also […]

It’s hard to see him way back there, but that’s Kyler Murray on the bench now. Head coach Jonathan Gannon just announced that Jacoby Brissett, not Murray, will be the Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback moving forward. The immediate reports made it sound like this was a play-based decision. Which it should be. That would be […]

Last week, after the Seattle Seahawks bye, many national media sites quickly forgot about the Seahawks, either keeping them pat or moving them down their rankings. However, with the complete dismantling of the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football, plus the new addition of wide receiver, Rashid Shaheed, has the national media woken up to […]

The Seattle Seahawks are sitting atop the NFC West, looking smarter and smarter with every game in which Sam Darnold dominates. Even in Week 9 when Seattle traveled east to take on the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football and obliterated Washington and any hopes of turning the season around for former Seahawks defensive coordinator […]

We have a first in NFL history: a suspension due to repeated violations of the “hip-drop tackle.” The final straw was a tackle on the Seattle Seahawks’ superstar Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu has been ruled out for Week 10 against the Detroit Lions for this third infraction, although not a single one […]

The NFC West is the place to be. All four teams won last week in pretty decisive fashion, continuing their claim as the best division in football right now. Furthermore, the Seattle Seahawks have consecutive division rivalry games coming up. On deck: the recently-interesting Arizona Cardinals! After dismantling the Dallas Cowboys 27-17 on the road, […]

We’ve reached NFL trade deadline week, which is not nearly as eventful as say, the NBA, NHL, or MLB trade deadlines, but we could still see some activity from now until Tuesday’s deadline. For the second year in a row, the trade deadline is during Week 10. The Seattle Seahawks have historically been a team […]

When the 2025 season began, Drake Thomas and Ty Okada were not core pieces of the Seattle Seahawks defensive plan. In fact they played only 15 and 6 snaps in Week 1, respectively. Eight weeks later, that has changed in a big way. Okada has now played 367 defensive snaps, and 74 on special teams. […]

Supposedly, Kyler Murray isn’t healthy enough to start for the Arizona Cardinals against the Dallas Cowboys. It’ll be another weekend of Jacoby Brissett answering the call of duty, which has some wondering if Murray is being shadow benched for his uninspiring play, especially when looking at how generally effective the passing offense has been under […]

“Hello, Seattle!” A simple, yet effective, closing line from the great Mike Tirico last night as the Seattle Seahawks sent a message to the NFL that they are no longer one of best kept secrets in the NFL, but they are one of the best teams, period. A 38-14 destruction of the Washington Commanders doesn’t […]

We read the predictions, we swallowed our pride, we argued amongst one another. The Seattle Seahawks spent the majority of the 2025 NFL off-season making drastic changes at QB1 and WR1. Both moves elicited a mixed reaction from pundits and fans alike. Although, anecdotally I’ll say that most Seahawks-centric journalists were saying that we’d be […]

The Seattle Seahawks’ lone appearance (barring any flexing for the rest of the season) on Sunday Night Football was loud and eye-opening for much of America. If most of the country was asleep for the Monday night win over the Houston Texans, millions were wide awake to see Seattle destroy the Washington Commanders in their […]

The NFL season has effectively reached the midway point, with Week 9 action wrapping up Monday evening when the Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys face off on Monday Night Football. Once the Cardinals and Cowboys wrap up their game, there won’t be a shortage of content in the NFL news cycle, though, as even in […]

The Seattle Seahawks slipped out of first place for a few hours on Sunday afternoon, after the Los Angeles Rams waylaid the New Orleans Saints. However, a dominating victory over the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football put Seattle back atop the NFC West by way of tiebreaker, with divisional matchups against the Arizona Cardinals […]

There are a lot of ways to break down a game, unless one team is so thoroughly outclassed that one inescapable conclusion remains: this was a nationally televised whoopin’ of other people’s bottoms. The type we used to see with the [redacted] Seattle Seahawks. You know, the brand of defensive suffocate-o-fest that temporarily got Seattle […]

Those throwback jerseys just make everything better! In another S-tier jersey matchup with double throwbacks, the Seahawks came out on top of the Commanders in a 38-14 beatdown on national television. Sam Darnold was perfect in the first half, and the defense clamped down on an already depleted Washington offense, rendering them toothless. The only […]

The good news for the Seattle Seahawks is that they handled the Washington Commanders with ridiculous ease to improve to 6-2. The bad news is it came at the cost of their star linebacker, Ernest Jones IV. Jones was rolled up on late in the second quarter, departing the game early with a right knee […]

If you wanted the Seattle Seahawks to make a big statement on Sunday night, you got it and then some. The Seattle Seahawks smashing up the New Orleans Saints in Week 3 was fun but the Saints are an atrocious team. I know the Washington Commanders are not a very good team, but to go […]

The Seattle Seahawks have the best record in the NFC. Well, they are one of four teams with the best record in the NFC anyway and after all the tiebreakers are applied, they sit third in the conference coming out of Week 9. The NFC West could not be closer at the top. The Seahawks […]

The Seattle Seahawks (6-2) kicked off to the Washington Commanders (3-6) to begin Sunday Night Football, then proceeded to kick their asses for 60 minutes. It was a masterclass we’ve seldom seen from the Seahawks in recent years, but it is reminiscent of the contending teams that won playoff games. Sam Darnold had an all-time […]

The Seattle Seahawks completely dominated the first half of the Week 9 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Washington Commanders, with almost everything going their way. Of the things that did not go their way, injuries to a pair of key members of the starting defense perhaps the most easy to point to. Specifically, cornerback […]
