It’s for first place in the NFC West and possibly the top spot in the entire conference, and it’s a longstanding rivalry matchup. And yet, it’s a […]

Sunday afternoon at Lumen Field the Seattle Seahawks retained first place in the NFC West by stomping the Arizona Cardinals 44-22.

The Seattle Seahawks pulled off a rare feat this season, starting the same five offensive linemen in each of the first nine games of the season. However, during the Seahawks dominant 44-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10, starting center Jalen Sundell left the game with a knee injury and following an update […]

So much for that being a trap game. After I spent the whole week telling anyone that would listen how nervous I was about playing a feisty team with a backup quarterback at home (PTSD, anyone?), the Seattle Seahawks brought down the hammer, again. With eight and a half minutes left in the second quarter, […]

What would the Seattle Seahawks do for an encore after their 38-14 destruction of the Washington Commanders? Apparently, just do it all over again but at home. In next to no time, the Seahawks were up 21-0 in the first quarter against the Arizona Cardinals, and at halftime it was a 38-7 rout. Yes, the […]

The New York Jets are a fiery mess while their former quarterbacks are scattered throughout the NFL to greater success. Now, the New York Giants, themselves a barrier to no one, […]

I know we’re past the “spooky season,” but the Seattle Seahawks are scary good right now. They used an early explosion on both offense and defense to put the Arizona Cardinals on ice in the first quarter. Particularly, the combination of a blitzing Tyrice Knight forcing fumbles, and hoover-like hands of DeMarcus Lawrence scooping the […]

The Seattle Seahawks have crafted a new winning template. It might drive you a little bonkers in a different way that the old Seahawks did, but who’s to say which way is better? I am. I will say. The new way is better. So you have to take a nap in the second half? Boo […]

The Seattle Seahawks defense went the entire season without forcing an opposition fumble. They ended that drought in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals, turning not one but two forced fumbles into touchdowns. Both involved the same players: Tyrice Knight on the strip-sack of Jacoby Brissett, DeMarcus Lawrence running the ball back for six points. […]

The Seattle Seahawks are in first place in the NFC. With multiple top teams in the NFC losing on Sunday, the news is even better for Seattle. The Philadelphia Eagles can still reclaim first place on Monday night, but at worst Seattle will be a tiebreaker from leading the conference. It isn’t just close at […]

Another week, another blowout win for the certifiably scary Seattle Seahawks (7-2). It was a wire-to-wire beatdown of the Arizona Cardinals (3-6), who fell behind 35-0 out of the gate and looked like they were about to get that 58-0 treatment like they did in 2012. Alas, the Seahawks didn’t get the shutout and had […]

It’s not quite 58-0, but it’s pretty close given what the Seattle Seahawks just did to the Arizona Cardinals. Opening drive touchdown from Sam Darnold to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, followed by a Tyrice Knight strip-sack of Jacoby Brissett for a DeMarcus Lawrence fumble return touchdown, then a George Holani touchdown run, then ANOTHER Knight/Lawrence combo for […]
