Seahawks Week 12 power rankings: Turnovers, loss lead to drop in national media polls

Last week, after the Seattle Seahawks blew out the Arizona Cardinals, the national media were beginning to view the Seattle Seahawks as legitimate Super Bowl contenders.

Seahawks defense continues to impress despite key absences

While there may be no solace taken from the Seattle Seahawks’ Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, there has to be some praise in order for the defense. The Rams may have scored 21 points, but 14 came off of Sam Darnold’s interceptions, which resulted in 3- and 25-yard scoring drives. For one […]

Cowboys vs. Raiders ‘Monday Night Football’ live discussion: Schotty vs. Pete

This game sure looks out of place in prime time, doesn’t it? The Dallas Cowboys are 3-5-1, the Las Vegas Raiders are 2-7, and yet this is taking up national television time? Unfortunately, this couldn’t get flexed out since it’s not within the Monday Night Football flex window, but maybe it’ll be entertaining because the […]

Mike Macdonald: Grey Zabel ‘day-to-day’

Sunday the Seattle Seahawks slipped out of their perch atop the NFC West, losing 21-19 to the Los Angeles Rams as the offense turned the ball over repeatedly and failed to capitalize on opportunities to seize control of the division.

Michael Penix Jr to miss Seahawks game, likely out for season

Last year, Michael Penix Jr made his NFL debut in garbage time against the Seattle Seahawks. This year, the former University of Washington star quarterback won’t be facing Seattle as a starter.

Mike Macdonald has ‘really positive’ injury update on Grey Zabel

The Seattle Seahawks not only lost another game to the Los Angeles Rams and therefore the NFC West lead, they also lost their promising rookie left guard in the process.

Words of Prey, Seahawks vs. Rams: What was that even

There’s no finality in Act 1 of a play. But at least the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams’ annual pageant now has the skeleton of a plot, complete with protagonists, villains and NPCs.

NFC Playoff Picture: Seattle Seahawks fall from top of NFC West with loss

Seahawks lose NFC West lead, take NFL’s top spot in turnovers committed

It may seem annoying to keep banging the drum like Todd Rundgren, but the Seattle Seahawks have a turnover problem.

Their -7 turnover differential is tied for fourth-worst. The four teams […]

Winners and Losers from another Seahawks loss to the Rams

The more things change, the more they stay the same?

Seahawks-Rams score: Sam Darnold throws away Seattle’s NFC West lead

The nightmare continues for Sam Darnold against the Los Angeles Rams.
