Last week, the Seattle Seahawks were ranked number one by all five national media sites polled (NFL.com, Pro Football Talk, Bleacher Report, ESPN, and CBS Sports). This occurred after the Seahawks took on the Los Angeles Rams in a roller coaster prime time victory in week 16. To nobody’s surprise, after Seattle defeated the Carolina Panthers in Week 17, the team remains at number one in all five rankings. This makes this week’s power rankings roundup (the last of 2025) a tad less controversial. However, let us still walk through what the five national media sites are saying about the...

The Seattle Seahawks’ rookies logged a combined 151 snaps in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. That total is down slightly from last week, but still in the same range, especially when factoring in the overtime game against the Rams the week prior. For the second consecutive week, Seattle opted to dress Connor O’Toole over nose tackle Brandon Pili, a decision that appears to be driven primarily by special teams usage. O’Toole saw just four snaps in garbage time.

As always, the focus here is on process and technique rather than box score results.

The Seattle Seahawks have made a few roster shuffles as they prepare for their 2025 regular season finale against the San Francisco 49ers. The Seahawks announced that they have placed wide receiver Cody White on injured reserve. Additionally, safety D’Anthony Bell has been waived.

White suffered a groin injury during the week 17 game against the Carolina Panthers, one that head coach Mike Macdonald said would keep him out for a while. This injured reserve designation effectively ends White’s 2025 season. The Seahawks seemingly would want Bell back on the practice squad if he were to clear waivers.

The original member of the Seattle Seahawks’ legendary Legion of Boom secondary will have to wait to hear his name called for Canton.

On Tuesday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame modern era finalists were announced. Former Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas did not advance beyond the semifinals for the second year in a row. He’s been eligible for Canton since 2024, having been out of the NFL since his lone season with the Baltimore Ravens in 2019.

Here are the finalists who did make it, and there are a few familiar NFC West names and one “Seahawks legend” in...

The Seattle Seahawks have their sights set on the number one seed in the NFC, but they now know where they’ll fall in case they lose to the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night.

Monday’s stunning Los Angeles Rams loss to the Atlanta Falcons means quite a bit to the Seahawks. It’s a little bittersweet knowing the Seahawks could’ve won the NFC West had the Chicago Bears beaten the 49ers on Sunday night, but it is what it is. There was still reason to pay attention to the Rams in terms of the wild card seeding, and on paper it...

The NFL weekend kicked off on Thursday with Christmas Day games followed by two games on Saturday, so we are a good chunk of the way through Week 17 already, believe it or not. The Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers squared off in a game with unexpectedly high playoff implications on Sunday.

For the Seahawks, the win keeps them in first place in the NFC while the Panthers needed to win to stay atop the NFC South and in the playoffs. Luckily, the Miami Dolphins knocked off the Bucs and kept the Panthers in first place.

The biggest matchup of...

There’s a slight part of me that doesn’t want the Atlanta Falcons to beat the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football. It would mean that the Seattle Seahawks were literally a few yards away from clinching the NFC West title through the Rams and San Francisco 49ers losing, but the Chicago Bears couldn’t seal the deal.

The plus side of a Rams loss is that it locks them into the No. 6 seed and guarantees the loser of Seahawks vs. 49ers will play the NFC South winner, which is not the worst “consolation prize” possible. It also worsens the...

The Seattle Seahawks’ main focus will be beating the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18 to secure the NFC West and therefore the top seed. After the Seahawks and 49ers both won on Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams were eliminated from division and top seed contention, which is astonishing given they were 30-14 up on the Seahawks with eight minutes left in regulation less than two weeks ago. Life comes at you fast, I suppose.

And yet, there is still reason to pay attention to the Rams’ Monday night game against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Seattle Seahawks once again shook off a slow start on offense and rode a second half surge to a comfortable win. They were tied 3-3 with the Carolina Panthers on a gloomy, foggy afternoon in Charlotte, but the 27-10 final score made the first half seem like a distant memory.

It’s time for Enemy Reaction for the Panthers, which we haven’t done in six years. Game thread comments are courtesy of Cat Scratch Reader, and having written this sentence before doing the screenshots, I’m curious to see how harsh they were on Bryce Young and the offense as a...

For what is likely the last time this season, the Seattle Seahawks once again came to the East Coast and left with a victory, defensively suffocating the Carolina Panthers 27-10.With the win, the Seahawks move to 13-3, and have now tied for the franchise record for wins in a regular season, with one more game to go. They also have moved to 7-1 on the road this season, which is just remarkable. If not for the Sam Darnold collapse and Jason Myers missed field goal at the buzzer in Los Angeles, Seattle could be 8-0 on the road and have...

The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Carolina Panthers 27-10 in a weird and terribly officiated road game. They also just found their recipe for the offense in the postseason.

This team steadfastly refuses to score in the first half, putting up three points against Carolina yet again. However, another 24 point-second half sent this game out of reach.

Along the way, a growing trend revealed itself further, one which may serve Seattle well as they anticipate a postseason run amid some recent offensive struggles.

This team needs desperately needs one more hero, but it may have two. Dear Klint Kubiak: may...
