The Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles were the two best teams in the NFC last season and they’re among the best teams in the conference this year. Detroit comes in at 6-3 off the back of a thorough beatdown of the Washington Commanders, while the Super Bowl champion Eagles won a barely watchable 10-7 slog over the Green Bay Packers. At 7-2, Philadelphia’s point differential is only +26, so they’ve been winning close all year. The Lions offense hasn’t been as crisp as in recent seasons, yet they still entered Week 11 as the highest scoring team in the NFC....

The nightmare continues for Sam Darnold against the Los Angeles Rams.

Last season with the Minnesota Vikings, Darnold had two losses to the Rams, including a nightmare performance in the playoffs that ended his Vikings tenure. As quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks (7-3), he had a disaster of all disasters, throwing four mostly brutal interceptions in a 21-19 loss. The Rams (8-2) are now atop the division with the tiebreaker after jumping out to an early 14-3 lead and hanging on for dear life at the end.

Darnold not only made several back-breaking mistakes, the red zone offense was not...

The Los Angeles Rams are the new leaders in the NFC West after their win over the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle is now the top wild card team in the NFC, at least for now.

We will update after Sunday night’s game featuring the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles.

The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams are battling with first place in the NFC West on the line.

The Rams cling to a 21-19 lead, but the Seahawks have the ball back at their own one yard line with a timeout and needing just a field goal to win a game in which Sam Darnold has thrown four interceptions.

However, with the game on the line, the Seahawks are without their starting left guard, 2025 first round pick Grey Zabel. Zabel went down and appeared to be in significant pain after getting rolled up on during the Ken Walker...

The Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams are locked in a defensive struggle at SoFi Stadium in a game where field position could be crucial down the stretch.

With the potential for special teams to play an outsized factor in a game to determine first place in the NFC West for the next couple of weeks, as well as to keep pace in the race for the top seed in the NFC, the Seahawks will be without a key member of the special teams.

Tyrice Knight has seen the number of snaps he has played on defense decrease as...

The Seattle Seahawks started off with an early 14-3 hole against the Los Angeles Rams. An early Sam Darnold interception set up the Rams with a short field and a Kyren Williams 4th and goal touchdown. Once again the Seahawks defense was put right back in their own red zone after stopping the opposition on the previous possession. After a Seattle field goal, the Rams gashed the Seahawks on the ground and capped it off with a Matthew Stafford slant to Davante Adams for another TD.

Seattle shut the Rams out in the second quarter with two long field goal...

The time has come. It’s Round 1 of 2 (possibly 3?) for the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams.

Winner takes control of the NFC West with sole possession of first place. Seattle has never beaten the Rams with Matthew Stafford as the starting quarterback. They’ve come close on a few occasions but not close enough. The Seahawks and Rams are both red hot after their respective Week 5 losses. Not only are they winners of four straight, they’re winning emphatically.

Is this the year the Seahawks get one over Sean McVay and company in a meaningful game? It’s not...

The Seattle Seahawks are currently perched atop the NFC West by way of a tiebreaker, and on Sunday afternoon they will look to move into sole possession of first place in the division when they face off against the Los Angeles Rams.

The winner of the Rams-Seahawks tilt will own the head-to-head tiebreaker, meaning whichever team emerges victorious will hold first place for a minimum of two weeks.

With the importance of the Sunday showdown laid out, Seattle appears to be getting healthy at the right time, with players like Ernest Jones and Josh Jobe ready to return to the...

The Seattle Seahawks (7-2) and Los Angeles Rams (7-2) are tied for the best record in the NFC. These longtime NFC West rivals are set to square off at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA to determine the division leader. Both teams have won four in a row and they’re winning in lopsided fashion. Seattle is coming off a 44-22 home thumping of the Arizona Cardinals, while the Rams drubbed the San Francisco 49ers on the road in a 42-26 victory. Seattle’s defense will be boosted by the return of former Ram Ernest Jones IV and cornerback Josh Jobe. However, they’ll...

Ready for the battle of heavyweights in the NFC? Many would say that this is the most pivotal game of the Mike Macdonald era insofar, and this matchup has even influenced roster building tactics. Both the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams are riding very high at the moment… in fact, FanDuel pins these as two of the top five championship caliber teams in the league.

Statistics back up this notion, as SEA and LAR are the only two teams who are top five in both offensive scoring and defensive scoring allowed. We are witnessing the collision path of rival...

Arguably, the biggest evaluation for the 2025 Seattle Seahawks’ season sits on the schedule mere hours away. There is one injury on Hawks’ coach, Mike Macdonald’s defense that can be counted on to be quizzed and probed thoroughly… the absence of Julian Love looms large.

In his stead, Seattle will ride into battle with the ’23 UDFA Ty Okada as the deep cog of the secondary, patrolling as a free / duo safety. This isn’t new, as Okada has started 6 games so far in Macdonald’s second season as lead man.

Is it too early to say it’s a Ty...

In just a matter of hours, the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams will meet in the first of two huge divisional clashes. Both teams are 7-2 and not only looking for the NFC West lead, but also pushing for the No. 1 seed in the conference. Week 11 is in Inglewood, where the Seahawks have won twice before against the Rams, but both times they were playing against backup quarterbacks. Sam Darnold and Matthew Stafford are playing like MVP candidates, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Puka Nacua are looking like two of the five best receivers in the NFL, and...
