Snap Reactions: Seahawks defense plays fewest snaps in 35 years
After years of mostly non-competitive losing performances, the Seattle Seahawks turned the tables on the San Francisco 49ers and handed them a humbling loss with the NFC West title on the line. Seattle’s 13-3 win was a kind scoreline given the statistical dominance, but it’s still a win that gave the Seahawks the division title […]

In Today’s Links: more on the Charles Cross extension, how our Seattle Seahawks made the right move in letting Pete Carroll go, what our squad need to work on during their bye week, more recaps and analysis of last Saturday’s gargantuan victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Klint Kubiak getting some buzz for at least […]
Falcons request head coach interview with Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak
The 2025 NFL regular season is over, but the search for new head coaches is very much underway. After the Atlanta Falcons fired Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot on Sunday, the NFC South team went straight to work on at least finding their next coach. One of the candidates is Seattle Seahawks offensive […]
Jonathan Gannon out as Arizona Cardinals head coach, leaves with 0-6 record vs. Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks will be seeing someone else on the opposing sideline in their next division matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have fired head coach Jonathan Gannon after three seasons with the team, as reported by NFL insider Adam Schefter. Gannon went 15-36 between 2023 and 2025, including a 3-15 mark vs. the […]
How the Seahawks finished with the best regular season of all 14 playoff teams
That’s a wrap on the regular season. The NFL Playoffs are set, a bunch of Wild Card teams are better than two division winners, and Aaron Rodgers has bamboozled Baltimore once again. I knew from a few weeks back the Seattle Seahawks had done something impressive in terms of beating current playoff-caliber teams. That curiosity […]
Enemy Reaction 2025: San Francisco 49ers
Oh how sweet it is to win a division title and the number one seed. It’s even sweeter when it happens on the road against a team that’s had the upper hands for years. The Seattle Seahawks are NFC West champions and the top team in the conference after what had to be the most […]
Why Mike Macdonald is the obvious choice for NFL Coach of the Year
On Saturday night, two candidates for the NFL’s Coach of the Year award entered Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with the NFC’s No. 1 seed on the line. The San Francisco 49ers headman, Kyle Shanahan, stood on one sideline after somehow propelling an injury-riddled 49ers team to a 12-4 season. On the other was […]
Pete Carroll out as Las Vegas Raiders coach after 3-win disaster
In very unsurprising news, Pete Carroll’s Las Vegas Raiders head coaching days are over. The former Seattle Seahawks head coach has been “relieved of his duties” following a brutal 3-14 campaign, the second-worst season by win percentage since the Raiders joined the NFL from the AFL. On the plus side, the Raiders have the No. […]
Four Down Territory: How the (NFC) West was won
It was the biggest regular season game in franchise history, and the Seattle Seahawks delivered one of the most impressive defensive statements in franchise history. It was all Seahawks in a 13-3 pummeling that doesn’t accurately show how much Seattle dominated the San Francisco 49ers. After beating big brother number one in the Los Angeles […]

Seahawks give Charles Cross a big contract extension
A day after the Seattle Seahawks secured the NFC’s 1-seed in the playoffs, they lock up their most consistent and battle-tested offensive lineman. The Hawks and star LT, Charles Cross have agreed to a multi-year deal that will keep him in the Pacific Northwest through the 2030 season. Cross was drafted 9th overall in the […]
Game 272, Steelers vs. Ravens live discussion: Will DK Metcalf’s suspension be costly?
The winner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens is heading to the playoffs as AFC North champions. Their reward is taking on the Houston Texans, who boast an elite defense and an improving offense. Pittsburgh could’ve won the AFC North last week by beating the lowly Cleveland Browns. Not only did that not happen, […]
Seattle Seahawks win NFL scoring defense title
The NFC West wasn’t the only title the Seattle Seahawks locked up this weekend. For the first time in a decade, the Seahawks have won the scoring defense title.

Words of Prey, Seahawks-49ers: 1t 1s accompl1shed
The Seattle Seahawks’ season is not over. Yet it is already a success. Seattle hired Mike Macdonald to re-establish the franchise back on its rightful perch atop the NFC West, by way of a full defensive makeover. His job was clear: tame the offenses of football’s two pre-eminent masterminds, out-genius the other two geniuses in […]
Ted’s Talk: Weakened 49ers lucky to not get blown out by Seahawks
Earlier this week I wrote a pregame article about the Seahawks season coming full circle in this Week 18 game between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. That couldn’t have been more true with how this contest turned out, a thoroughly dominant 13-3 road victory riddled with missed opportunities that would’ve saved all Seahawks […]
The Seahawks have ruined football (for their opponents)
Once again, the Seattle Seahawks came into another stadium held the NFL’s number one offense to single-digit points. The San Francisco 49ers got to stay home and prepare for an entire week, with home-field advantage all the way through the Super Bowl on the line. They scored three points. But take heart! You’re not alone […]
Post-Snap Reads 1/4: Seahawks secure huge, NFC West sealing win in Santa Clara
Another undeniably uneven game by the Seattle Seahawks offense coupled with another absolutely dominant performance from the Seattle Seahawks defense delivered a somewhat unsuspected 2025 NFC West title for our favorite team. The ‘Hawks had opportunities to score a bit more than 13 points against the 49ers, and really the game should have been more […]
Winners and Losers from the Seahawks’ NFC West title triumph over 49ers
When the Seattle Seahawks lost to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11, running the table was effectively the only realistic path toward winning the NFC West over the Rams and San Francisco 49ers.

Seahawks’ NFC West win clinches greatest regular season in franchise history
The Seattle Seahawks are NFC West champions after a superb defensive display against the San Francisco 49ers, holding them to just a field goal and 173 yards of total offense in their own building. For the Seahawks, the hope is that it’s the first of two trips to Santa Clara, with the second coming in […]
Seahawks defense suffocates 49ers to worst performance of Kyle Shanahan era
The Seattle Seahawks made the loudest possible statement with their NFC West title win over the San Francisco 49ers. While the offense may have played much better than the 13 points suggested, the defense was every bit as dominant as the 3 points allowed indicated. For context: Seattle had 180 yards rushing and the 49ers […]
Seahawks-49ers score: Seattle dominates 49ers to win NFC West, top seed
The Seattle Seahawks (14-3) are NFC West champions for the first time since 2020! While Seattle didn’t put up nearly as many points as it should’ve given the offensive performance, the Seahawks defense stifled a red-hot San Francisco 49ers (12-5) offense. Zach Charbonnet’s 27-yard touchdown was the only TD of the game and it was […]
