Field Gulls
The Seattle Seahawks didn’t just win on Thursday night — they showed resilience.
Seattle’s 38–37 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Rams was emotional, chaotic, and ultimately revealing. These are the kinds of games that test more than talent. They test belief, composure, and whether a team can respond when momentum constantly shifts.
On tonight’s episode of Seahawks Aftermath, going live at 7pm PT, I’ll be joined by Field Gulls managing editor Mookie Alexander to break down one of the most intense wins of the season and what it says about this Seahawks team as the playoff picture comes into focus.
From the opening kickoff through overtime, this game lived on a knife’s edge. Momentum swung repeatedly. Opportunities were missed. Adjustments had to be made on the fly. Yet each time the pressure increased, Seattle answered.
Sam Darnold’s poise under pressure stood out late, as he navigated high-leverage moments with calm and control. Kenneth Walker III delivered a massive performance, setting the physical tone and giving the offense a stabilizing force when things threatened to unravel. On the defensive side, the unit once again earned its “DarkSide” reputation — tightening in critical situations, generating key stops, and showing discipline in overtime.
That doesn’t mean this was a perfect performance. There were stretches where Klint Kubiak’s play-calling struggled to find rhythm, forcing players to win through execution rather than flow. That tension — between resilience and refinement — will be a central theme of tonight’s conversation.
This was a rivalry game that demanded composure. Seattle didn’t blink. The Seahawks bent, adjusted, and ultimately responded in the moments that mattered most.
The bigger question now is what this win represents. Is it simply another dramatic chapter in a chaotic rivalry, or is it further proof that this team is learning how to win under pressure?
That’s the lens we’ll bring to Seahawks Aftermath — honest analysis, context, and perspective — along with reactions and questions from The 12s live in the chat.
If you want to understand not just how the Seahawks won, but why their resilience matters moving forward, tonight’s show is one you won’t want to miss.
