Seahawks All-22 review: The good and bad from Seattle’s blowout vs. Falcons
The Seattle Seahawks looked like two completely different teams within the same game against the Atlanta Falcons. The first half brought back all the recent concerns on offense, producing only six points and little rhythm. But after halftime, the defense elevated its level even further and the offense finally found its most consistent stretch in […]

Seahawks-Colts Wednesday injury report: Elijah Arroyo held out of practice
The Seattle Seahawks’ injury luck appears to be continuing with the release of the first injury report for their Week 15 game against the Indianapolis Colts. While the list appears quite long, with 15 players making it, only tight end Elijah Arroyo did not participate in Wednesday’s practice with a knee injury, which has left […]

Seahawks’ Jalen Sundell, Eric Saubert return to practice for Colts game
The Seattle Seahawks are getting healthier in December. Center Jalen Sundell and tight end Eric Saubert have both returned to practice ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Seahawks coach Kennedy Polamalu takes leave of absence
The Seattle Seahawks announced on Wednesday that running back coach Kennedy Polamalu has taken a leave of absence from the team for an undisclosed amount of time.

Four Down Territory: Seahawks find their dominance before the home stretch
Well, it sure didn’t look pretty in the first half. With the Seattle Seahawks doing their best Mike Holmgren 10am kickoff impression, the Seahawks were lucky to be tied 6-6 at halftime. According to multiple reports, Mike Macdonald supposedly told his team that newly acquired wide receiver Rasheed Shaheed was gonna make some magic. About […]
Rashid Shaheed wins NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after first Seahawks touchdown
The Seattle Seahawks did have an NFC Player of the Week winner as expected, but not the one you might be thinking of. Rookie safety Nick Emmanwori lost NFC Defensive Player of the Week to the Detroit Lions’ Al-Quadin Muhammad and his three sacks against the Dallas Cowboys, but the Seahawks were so dominant against […]

Seahawks change in free agency strategy has paid off
When free agency opened in March, Seahawks Seahawks general manager John Schneider went on an uncharacteristic spending spree on outside free agents, a change in strategy compared to the past decade. And that change has paid off well for the team. Specifically, for more than a decade under the direction of Pete Carroll, Schneider and […]
Seahawks Week 15 power rankings: Are the Seahawks a ‘team of destiny’?
Last week, the Seattle Seahawks rose again in the national power rankings after their shutout victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Will another dominant victory over the Atlanta Falcons continue this trend? Like last week, the win over the Falcons has moved the Seahawks up on average, however, once you’re already in the top five, there […]
Seahawks could actually face Philip Rivers in Week 15
The Indianapolis Colts have spent significant capital on the quarterback position in recent years, using a first round pick on Anthony Richardson in 2023 and then signing former first round pick Daniel Jones in free agency this spring. However, with Richardson on injured reserve with a fractured orbital bone and Jones having torn his Achilles […]
Seahawks injury updates: Jalen Sundell returning to practice, Elijah Arroyo could miss time
The Seattle Seahawks are slowly but surely getting some key guys back from injured reserve, and this week should see the return of their starting center. Mike Macdonald told reporters on Monday that Jalen Sundell is set to practice this week, having missed the minimum four games while on IR with a knee injury. Sundell […]

Colts plan Philip Rivers workout ahead of Seahawks game
It’s hard to believe this is a real thing that is happening in 2025, but the Indianapolis Colts need a lot of quarterback help, and they may need the services of a literal grandfather in an emergency. Daniel Jones is out for the year after tearing his Achilles, Anthony Richardson is on IR with an […]
Eagles vs. Chargers ‘Monday Night Football’ live discussion
In the words of former California governor and Kindergarten Cop actor Arnold Schwarzenegger… The Philadelphia Eagles are 8-4 and 1.5 back of the Seattle Seahawks for the best record in the NFC. A loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night would really clear the way for the No. 1 seed race to essentially […]
Snap Reactions: Backups see plenty of snaps as Seahawks stomp Falcons
Sunday afternoon the Seattle Seahawks became the first NFC team to reach double digit victories during the 2025 season, though the division rival Los Angeles Rams matched that win total just a few hours later. The final margin, a 28-point win, hides how close the contest remained early, with the teams emerging from the locker […]
Enemy Reaction 2025: Atlanta Falcons
The Seattle Seahawks might have raised eyebrows and collective fan blood pressure when they went into halftime tied 6-6 with the lowly Atlanta Falcons. Would they dare take the Falcons too lightly and potentially drop a critical road game? Nah. They just woke up in the 2nd half. A 31-3 curbstomping after intermission turned a […]
Defensive history up for grabs when Seahawks host Colts
The Seattle Seahawks have now gone consecutive games without allowing a touchdown – a rare feat in the NFL. They’ve beaten their last two opponents by a combined score of 63 to 9, emerging as the biggest bullies of the second half. And it’s not going to slow down just yet, either. With Daniel Jones […]
The Rashid Shaheed effect on full display in Seahawks vs. Falcons
It finally happened. In his fifth game with the Seattle Seahawks, Rashid Shaheed had a sizable impact on the game from start to finish. He was active in the passing game, he continues to have an effect on the run game, and then of course the play that everyone will remember. Coming out of halftime, […]
Ted’s Talk: Opportunistic Seahawks do birds dirty in Atlanta
I’ll be honest, at halftime with the Seattle Seahawks playing to a 6-6 tie with the Atlanta Falcons, I was becoming a little concerned with Seattle’s offense. At that point, their production in the last seven quarters had been one Zach Charbonnet touchdown and a whole mess of field goals. Seattle’s defense produced just as […]

In Today’s Links: all kinds of reactions, analysis, takeaways, and breakdowns of another Seattle Seahawks victory, this time beating the feathers off the Atlanta Falcons.
