Sunday the Seattle Seahawks logged their first win of the 2025 season, stomping the hated Pittsburgh Steelers 31-17 in a game that was tied heading into the fourth quarter before the Hawks pulled away.

On the offensive side of the ball, the ground attack got going behind Ken Walker’s best game in a long time, with the help of a very solid performance from a young offensive line that appears to be coming together quickly.

There’s no question that the Steelers defense came into the game with several question marks due to multiple injuries, but there is also no questioning...

You’ll hear about Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Sam Darnold this week. You’ll hear about Kenneth Walker III, and Tory Horton and possibly Elijah Arroyo as well.

But George Holani had himself a career day on Sunday to help the Seattle Seahawks defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road. He’s also the current face of a Seattle special teams unit that has been an underrated hero through these two early weeks.

First, he’s become the primary returner on kickoffs. Holani was the only Seahawks to take the ball out on kickoffs against the Steelers.

And as a unit, they came...

A season doesn’t end at 0-2, but there’s only one way to get to 0-3, and that’s by passing through, well, a Week 2 loss. The Seattle Seahawks spent 30 minutes Sunday morning in Pittsburgh looking like they were gonna choose Door 0-2, and in the process confirm every negative narrative floating in the aether.

They chose differently. When the clock hit zeroes, the Seahawks had outrun, out-passed, out-defended, out-executed and outsmarted a decent team on the road. Bad teams don’t tend to dominate NFL opposition. Mandatory disclaimer: there’s a lot of season left, and even the 2009 Jim Mora...

That’s more like it!

In a game that garnered significantly more importance than just trying to avoid starting the 2025 season 0-2, the Seattle Seahawks looked more like the team we saw in the preseason as they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-17 on the road with an early kickoff.

This was a statement game. Unlike the opener against the San Francisco 49ers, offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak didn’t give up on the run game, mixed in plenty of play action, and utilized his tight ends. It wasn’t always pretty with Sam Darnold throwing two interceptions. However, Seattle played complimentary football, keeping...

Two years ago, Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy hoisted the CFP National Championship trophy at the expense of Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. Now the former collegiate stars turned first round picks are set to meet in the pros for the first time.

McCarthy’s NFL debut was rough for three quarters against the Chicago Bears, then he turned it on with an amazing three-touchdown final quarter to deny the Bears a win and give the Vikings a tremendous comeback. Penix is in his first full season as a starter, and so far he looks as good as he did in college....

After a bitter ending to the home opener for the Seattle Seahawks, the team in white and wolf grey came back to produce a much sweeter product in Week 2. It’s all part of an annual reminder to not judge teams based on one game. The gathering of additional empirical data teaches us more and more about the 2025 Seahawks.

The Hawks finally looked like a team that could move the ball on offense, and put the clamps on any threat of an aerial assault by old man, Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh, PA.

DK Metcalf’s revenge game did not come...

While the Seattle Seahawks were taking care of business against the Pittsburgh Steelers, an unbelievable chapter of the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys rivalry was written in Arlington.

After a Week 1 performance from Russell Wilson that was bad enough for Giants head coach Brian Daboll not to immediately commit to starting him in Week 2, Russ turned back the clock and unleashed all of the Moonballs on Brian Schottenheimer’s team.

Wilson was 30/41 for 450 yards, 3 touchdowns, and one other play we’ll get to later. He initially broke his career high for passing yards in overtime before...

The Seahawks went on the road in what was deemed the first revenge game for wide receiver D.K. Metcalf who was traded from Seattle to Pittsburgh earlier this offseason. However, it was Sam Darnold and the Seahawks who had the last laugh thanks to a handful of big plays in the second half, on top of a Steelers special blunder that allowed the Seahawks to outscore Pittsburgh 17-3 in the final quarter. When the clock hit zero, the Seahawks would leave the East Coast with a 31-17 victory over Mike Tomlin and quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Sam Darnold threw for 295...

With the Seattle Seahawks holding a one-score lead in the fourth quarter on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team has lost the starter in the middle of the offensive line.

On a first and ten run at their own 27 yard line, Jalen Sundell was injured, and after getting attention on the field, headed to the locker room for further evaluation.

In Sundell’s absence, third year lineman Olu Oluwatimi came in and played the remainder of the drive, a drive on which the Seahawks easily moved the ball down the field with a Ken Walker touchdown run capping...

We’ve not exactly got a lot of options in this 1 pm window, but the biggie is the Super Bowl rematch between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. FOX has made the 1:25 pm slot a standalone game so the whole nation can tune in and see if Jalen Carter will spit on anyone else. Patrick Mahomes has never been two games under .500 in his entire Chiefs career, but nothing lasts forever. We know the Eagles hammered the Chiefs in the Super Bowl but both rosters have changed enough that we cannot pretend it’s the same matchup, so...

Early in the fourth quarter, Seahawks kicker Jason Meyers was good from 54 yards out to break a tie with the Steelers and give Seattle a 17-14 lead. On the ensuing kickoff, Meyers booted the ball towards Steelers rookie running back who was standing just outside the end zone. The ball bounced on the turf and as Johnson jogged up to field it, the ball bounced higher than expected and it went through his hands and into the end zone.

Instead of running after the ball to cover it up, Johnson watched it roll near the back boundary line as...
