The Seahawks Syndicate: NFC Championship Game preview and predictions
The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams are fittingly playing for the NFC Championship Game on Sunday. In a year in which three NFC West teams made the playoffs with 12 wins, it felt inevitable that at least one would make it to Conference Championship weekend, and it’s appropriately the top two teams. This trilogy […]
Seahawks-Rams injury update: Top 3 left tackles miss practice again, but there’s good news
The Seattle Seahawks are gearing up for their biggest game in a decade with lingering questions surrounding the roster, thanks to a lengthy injury report. All three of the Seahawks’ left tackles missed practice with lingering injuries for the second day in a row. Seattle’s head coach, Mike Macdonald, did give a favorable projection on […]
Seahawks playoffs 2026: Will Rashid Shaheed continue to be a Rams-killer?
And then, there were four. With the Divisional Round in the rear view, we have just four teams left in the NFL’s tournament to see who gets to play in Super Bowl LX on Sunday, February 8. The NFC Championship game is a particularly interesting pier-sixer in that it has two teams that have already […]
Seahawks general manager John Schneider wins Executive of the Year
Maybe it’s overdue, perhaps it’s the perfect time, but it’s finally happened for John Schneider. The longtime Seattle Seahawks general manager has won his first Executive of the Year award, which is voted on by the Professional Football Writers Association (PFWA). While he never won an award for building the Legion of Boom and an […]
Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Mike Macdonald among 4 Seahawks named NFL Honors finalists
The NFL Honors finalists have been revealed, and there is a significant Seattle Seahawks presence across eight Associated Press awards. Superstar wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is obviously a finalist for Offensive Player of the Year, although the inclusion of MVP contender Drake Maye could significantly hurt his chances of winning. Perhaps that’s a consolation prize […]
Behind Seahawks enemy lines, NFC Championship preview: The keys to Seattle beating the Rams again
The Seahawks arrive at the NFC Championship riding their most complete performance of the season. The Divisional Round tape against the San Francisco 49ers showed a defense capable of controlling games through structure, discipline, and communication, paired with an offense that dictated terms early and finished drives. But there is an important and uncomfortable reminder […]
Where were current Seahawks players the last time Seattle made the NFC Championship Game?
This is the first time in 11 years that the Seattle Seahawks are playing (and hosting) the NFC Championship Game. When looking at the age of many players on the roster, 11 years is roughly half of their lives. Take Nick Emmanwori for example, who is only 21 years old. This means that the last […]
Pre-Snap Reads 1/22: How do the Seahawks really feel about the Rams?
In Today’s Links: Sunday’s score is likely to be closer than last Saturday’s, areas of weakness in the Los Angeles Rams’ O, Coach Macdonald highlights togetherness that our Seattle Seahawks forged this offseason (and a bit earlier, as well), injury updates and the most up-to-date status on the left side of our squads’ O-line, Derick […]
Seahawks-Rams injury report: Seattle’s top 3 left tackles miss first NFC Championship practice
The Seattle Seahawks have a very lengthy initial injury report for their NFC Championship tilt against the Los Angeles Rams. Not one, not two, but three Seahawks left tackles didn’t practice on Wednesday. Charles Cross, described as “day-to-day” by head coach Mike Macdonald due to a foot injury, was a DNP. Josh Jones, who didn’t […]
Jaxon Smith-Njigba wins Offensive Player of the Year award
The Seattle Seahawks fielded a surprisingly potent offense during the 2025 season, setting a franchise record for points scored on the season. Much of the credit for the offense being as prolific as it was goes to third year wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who finished the regular season with a league-leading 1,793 receiving yards as […]
Seahawks designate George Holani for return to practice ahead of NFC Championship Game
The Seattle Seahawks need some reinforcements at running back following the season-ending ACL tear suffered by Zach Charbonnet. It looks like some help could be on the way. On Wednesday, ahead of their first practice for the NFC Championship showdown with the Los Angeles Rams, the Seahawks designated George Holani for return to practice. He […]
Rashid Shaheed close to becoming the most prolific Seahawks kick returner of all time
The Seattle Seahawks traded for Rashid Shaheed, presumably, to help make the passing game more explosive. That hasn’t quite materialized yet, and ideally he’s extended soon so we can see him with a full offseason more integrated as a wide receiver. In the meantime, Shaheed has made the once nightmarish Seahawks kick and punt return […]
Is it time to start mentioning John Schneider as an all-time Seattle Seahawks great?
As we bask in the warm afterglow of that huge Seattle Seahawks Divisional Round win, we must ask ourselves: is John Schneider the most underrated figure in the history of the Seahawks organization?

3 options for the Seattle Seahawks to replace Zach Charbonnet
The Seattle Seahawks running back room was dealt a huge blow when Zach Charbonnet tore his ACL in the NFC Divisional Round against the San Francisco 49ers. Charbonnet led the team with 12 touchdowns as part of a 1-2 punch alongside Kenneth Walker III, who dominated the 49ers apart with 116 yards and three touchdowns. […]
Two surprising reasons Kenneth Walker can cover in Zach Charbonnet’s absence
Zach Charbonnet will not play in the NFC Championship Game, a brutal loss for the Seattle Seahawks. But if there is a silver lining it’s this: Kenneth Walker may finally be ready to shoulder the entire load on his own, helped by two factors. A lighter workload, and a late-season coaching change. Walker played 498 […]
Seahawks All-22 film review: The good and bad from Seattle’s playoff thrashing of 49ers
The Seattle Seahawks played their first Divisional Round game since the January 2020 loss to the Green Bay Packers, and they did so with a level of focus and execution that showed up clearly on tape.

Seahawks All-22 film review: How Seattle’s rookies performed in blowout win over 49ers
The Seattle Seahawks rookies combined for 141 snaps in the NFC Divisional Round romp of the San Francisco 49ers. That number was inflated by garbage-time reps in the fourth quarter.

Zach Charbonnet’s season-ending knee injury was a huge bummer for the Seattle Seahawks ahead of the NFC Championship game. However, that was not the only injury news for Seattle.

Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet out for season with ‘significant knee injury’
Unfortunately, Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald’s initial optimism that running back Zach Charbonnet’s injury was not serious was merely optimism. The reality is that Charbonnet, who led all Seahawks players with 12 touchdowns scored, will not play again this season. Coach Macdonald confirmed on his weekly Seattle Sports 710 radio appearance that Charbonnet’s knee […]
