Mike Macdonald’s defensive vision is forcing study and re-evaluations
The Seattle Seahawks are still holding serve, as the defending champions. While the Los Angeles Rams got all of the hype, the Hawks are the team that is forcing the talking heads to keep them at the head of the pack after Week 1. Not just them, but a deluge of online analysts as well. […]
The Seahawks have turned the turnover battle around during 11-game win streak
When the Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl 60, they became only the 10th team to end the regular season with a negative turnover differential but still hoist the Lombardi Trophy. According to Stathead, no team has ever won more games in a season despite a minus in the turnover column than the 2025 Seahawks. But […]
Seahawks Week 2 power rankings: Seahawks stay on top, Rams slip from national glory
Entering the 2026 season, the national media has been very high on the Seattle Seahawks. This is not surprising as the team just won the Super Bowl, and in a dominant way. Across the NFL landscape, the consensus top two teams appeared to be the Seahawks and their division rival, Los Angeles Rams. However, will […]
Seahawks News: The 2026 Seahawks D could be better than last year’s
Historically, our 2025 Seattle Seahawks were one of the best defenses of all-time. Some metrics even had them about the 2012 team that set records and demolished the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl. Could this year’s team, still young, deep, and quite explosive, top that squad, and themselves? There is a chance when you […]
Seahawks hold tryouts for 3 defensive players, including national champion from Indiana
The Seattle Seahawks are gearing up for their Week 2 divisional showdown with the Arizona Cardinals, most likely with Drew Lock as the starter in place of the injured Sam Darnold.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seahawks fans and fans across the country.

With Sam Darnold out, who could the Seahawks look to sign as a third quarterback?
With Sam Darnold dealing with a glute injury that will likely sideline him for the “short-term”, the Seattle Seahawks may not need to go looking for other starting quarterback options. However, there have been reports that Darnold may be out a little longer. One report from Mike Florio even mentioned that Darnold could be out […]
Seahawks News: Week 1 indicators for Jadarian Price’s role in Seahawks O
Our Seattle Seahawks were fond enough of Jadarian Price to take him with the last pick in the first round of the NFL draft. That may have said enough as to what the ‘Hawks thought about his talent, his potential, and his place in the new Brian Fleury offense. If week one of the 2026 […]
Seahawks Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III has career-high game in Chiefs debut
Kenneth Walker III wanted to prove he was a lead back when he left the Seattle Seahawks to sign with the Kansas City Chiefs in a huge free agent move. The Super Bowl MVP spent 2025 sharing lead back duties with Zach Charbonnet, but the Chiefs made it clear that Walker was going to be […]
Seahawks say Sam Darnold has ‘very unique soft-tissue’ but ‘short-term’ injury
After several contradicting reports on Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold’s injury, confirmation on exactly what he’s dealing with has come to light. According to ESPN’s Brady Henderson, a team spokesperson confirmed Darnold is dealing with a “very unique” soft tissue injury, but it is considered short-term.

Seahawks fan discussion: How will Kenneth Walker III do in his Chiefs debut?
The final game of Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season is an all-AFC West affair between the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos. While Patrick Mahomes’ return from his ACL tear is the main story, for Seattle Seahawks fans we’ll get an early glimpse of two October foes (Broncos in Week 6, Chiefs in […]
Seahawks add rookie seventh-round guard to practice squad
The Seattle Seahawks opened Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season with a vacant practice squad spot following the promotion of A.J. Finley to the active roster.

Ex-Seahawks Boye Mafe, Cody White make huge plays in Week 1 wins with new teams
The Seattle Seahawks may have had Sunday off after their Week 1 Wednesday victory over the New England patriots, but there were a couple of former Seahawks from last season’s Super Bowl team who made big impacts on their new teams. As part of a revamped Cincinnati Bengals defensive front, edge rusher Boye Mafe’s debut […]
Steelers fans growing frustrated with DK Metcalf after mistake-filled Week 1
On a wild, high-scoring opening Sunday of the NFL season, one game that was a complete eyesore to watch was the Pittsburgh Steelers laboring to a 20-13 win over an Atlanta Falcons team that was forced to start third-string quarterback Cooper Rush at the last minute. Mike McCarthy’s Steelers debut might have ended in a […]
An All-22 review of Jadarian Price’s encouraging Seahawks debut vs. Patriots
I’ve missed writing this weekly column. As a Seattle Seahawks fan and someone who loves the draft, one of the things I look forward to most is getting to study how Seattle’s rookies perform once the games actually count. Unfortunately — or perhaps fortunately, and I’ll explain why later — there isn’t much tape to […]
Seahawks News: How long will Sam Darnold be out for?
Nothing’s official-official yet. But, according to one trusted reporter, our man Sam Darnold will be out for at least four weeks, maybe longer.

PFT’s Mike Florio: Seahawks’ Sam Darnold could miss 4-6 weeks
While the rest of the NFL finishes off Week 1, the Seattle Seahawks have spent their weekend working through just how long they’ll be without their starting quarterback, Sam Darnold. There was apparent clarity on the injury early Sunday, with ESPN’s Ian Rapoport reporting that Darnold went down with a glute injury in the Seahawks’ […]
Myles Garrett placed on injured reserve in early NFC West twist
The Seattle Seahawks may be the reigning Super Bowl champions, but they entered the 2026 season as not even favorites to win the NFC West. Of course, that honor belonged to the Los Angeles Rams, whose trade for Myles Garrett put them over the top as preseason Super Bowl favorites. Well, the Rams got blown […]
Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold out ‘probably a couple games’ with glute injury
We have some clarification on Sam Darnold’s injury and when the Seattle Seahawks quarterback could return. According to ESPN’s Ian Rapoport, Darnold actually didn’t have a hip injury in the team’s thrilling opening night win over the New England Patriots.

Understanding Terrion Arnold’s contract with the Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks have set out on the defense of their Super Bowl title, upending the New England Patriots in a 13-10 come from behind victory to start out the 2026 season victorious.

Seahawks News: Can Drew Lock keep the Seahawks afloat?
So far as we know now, Sam Darnold will be out next Sunday for the Seattle Seahawks game against the Arizona Cardinals. There is a chance that he’ll be sidelined for maybe a week or two further, but we’re not sure. In the meantime, Drew Lock, who did not look that bad at all last […]
Early 2027 NFL Draft prospects Seahawks fans should keep an eye on
The 2027 NFL Draft is still a long way away. That needs to be the first disclaimer. The college football season has barely started, and a lot will change between now and April. Players will emerge, others will fall, some will declare early, others will return to school, and a handful of prospects who aren’t […]
Seahawks News: Thoughts on the new Seahawks O after week one
Happy Saturday! Hit that snooze button, if you are permitted. With that being said, let’s dive into the links and discuss the Brian Fleury offense and your thoughts, at first blush.

Enemy Reaction 2026: New England Patriots (with bonus Rams meltdown!)
When the Seattle Seahawks lost to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1 of last season, they held a late 13-10 lead and gave up a game-winning touchdown in the final two minutes of regulation. Similar scenario in 2026 against the New England Patriots, and ‘The Dark Side’ wrote a different, happier ending to turn […]
8 snap count observations from Seahawks win over Patriots
It’s usually not all that notable when a team comes back from 10 points in the second half to win a game, but the Seattle Seahawks overcoming a 10-0 third quarter deficit to beat the New England Patriots 13-10 to start the 2026 NFL season is one of those exceptions. Sam Darnold was lost to […]
