It’s the bye week for the Seattle Seahawks, meaning a relaxed weekend of football without the stress of “enjoying” a Seahawks game for Seattle fans. However, even though the team is not on the field, the front office staff remains hard at work, especially with the trade deadline looming just over the horizon on Tuesday, […]
In my preview for this game, I wrote about why I thought this would be a tough game. The Seattle Seahawks managed to make it tough for themselves against the Houston Texans, but for other reasons. A strip-sack in the end zone, three turnovers, and still struggling in the running game. The defense kept us […]
In Today’s Links: we’ve got a mailbag, thoughts on a possible Riq Woolen trade, contract talk, Grey Zabel at the bye week, a THREE-IN, THREE-OUT hightlights the ups and downs of the Seattle Seahawks win earlier this week, and a bit more. Happy Friday! The weekend is nigh! Thanks for being here. #np SPAGHETTI by […]
The Seattle Seahawks are steamrolling towards a quarterback controversy. Well, if things continue at their current trajectory, it won’t be much of a controversy at all. But Seattle’s positioned itself for a very different future at QB than nearly anyone would have predicted six months ago. “With the 92nd pick of the 2025 NFL draft, […]
The Minnesota Vikings have already lost as many games as they did all of the 2024 season, when Sam Darnold was their starting quarterback. J.J. McCarthy has been out since Week 3 and otherwise is 1-1 in his young career. Carson Wentz has deputized for him and the results have been as Wentz-ian as you […]
On Thursday, the Washington Commanders announced that quarterback Jayden Daniels has been ruled out for the team’s Monday Night Football contest against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a recent hamstring injury.

On Monday night the Seattle Seahawks dispatched the Houston Texans 27-19 in a game that did not feel anywhere near as close as the final score.

To ease the pain of all Mariners fans, the Seattle Seahawks came out flying on Monday Night Football in the first 20 minutes, before trying everything possible to give the game to the Houston Texans. Despite their efforts, the Seahawks held on for a 27-19 win, climbing to 5-2 on the season. I won’t say […]
Monday night at Lumen Field the Seattle Seahawks upended the Houston Texans to move to 5-2 on the season heading into the bye, with the next game on the schedule being a Sunday Night Football matchup against the Washington Commanders. During the victory over the Texans, the Seahawks once again used the same five starting […]
The Seattle Seahawks defense dismantled the Houston Texans on Monday night. Things like 31 yards allowed to running backs, 10 tackles for loss, and 12 passes defensed, you know. Just a normal day in Mike Macdonald land. Anybody who watched the game knows the score and discrepancy should have been an avalanche, had the refs […]

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, it’s time to recognize Seattle Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones, who has become the heart of Seattle’s new Legion of Boom-ish defense, and the franchise’s most […]

We’ve got several days of this coming, looking back at the season so far, and speculating on […]
It’s safe to say that the Russell Wilson/Sean Payton beef still exists. The Seattle Seahawks great and former Denver Broncos quarterback left the Broncos on bad terms after he was benched by Sean Payton with two weeks left in the 2023 regular season. Denver wasn’t mathematically eliminated from the playoffs yet, but reportedly the Broncos […]
With the bye week coming up for the Seattle Seahawks, head coach Mike Macdonald gave a few injury updates for players, including a few names we have not seen or heard from in a while. Starting defenders Derick Hall, Devon Witherspoon, and Julian Love all should be back after the bye, according to coach Macdonald. […]
Last week, after beating the Jacksonville Jaguars, the national media began looking at the Seattle Seahawks as a legitimate playoff team, and perhaps even a Super Bowl contender. However, how will this change after the Seahawks stout victory over the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football? Well, this week, despite the win, the national media […]
We will take it. Ensnared in the spookiest home stretch of their already spooky existence, the Seattle Seahawks exorcised their home demons ahead of Halloween. Lumen Field is a Little Shop of Horrors no more. Indeed, the Scream-ing 68,632 in attendance Saw their favorite defense slowly but surely Chainsaw Massacre the Houston Texans on a […]
First things first, I want no part of any of these late kickoff games during the regular season. It’s bad enough that they have them during the preseason, we don’t need them when the games actually count. The way the Seattle Seahawks played against the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football didn’t help. Yes, Seattle […]
In Today’s Links: recaps, recallings, retellings, and musings on our Seattle Seahawks’ big win last night. Lots to talk about. Didn’t look pretty, to be frank. Let’s break it down. Easier I’d say than dissecting the M’s game. Where are you at with the ‘Hawks after yesterday’s win? You worried about the O and/or Sam […]
This was not the night Seattle sports fans wanted, it’s not the night Seattle sports fans deserved, but it wasn’t a lost cause for Seattle sports. While the Seattle Mariners came agonizingly close only to fail to reach their first World Series, the Seattle Seahawks overcame their many self-inflicted wounds to defeat the Houston Texans […]
Words cannot really do justice to that Monday Night Football madness. The Seattle Seahawks suffocated the Houston Texans offense all game, and yet ended up with four turnovers committed and needlessly let Houston have a slim hope of a comeback. After racing out to a 14-0 lead, it looked like it’d be an easy night […]
