Last week, after losing a heartbreaker to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Seattle Seahawks saw their first drop in the national media power rankings in over three weeks. However, how will this change after the Seahawks impressive ninth consecutive road win in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars?

Once again, it is not surprising to see the five national media sites viewed (NFL.com, Pro Football Talk, Bleacher Report, ESPN, and Yahoo) move the Seahawks up again. This is usually the tune of power rankings. You win? You move up. You lose? You move down. The question that remains is how...

After their first win in Jacksonville in 25 years, the Seattle Seahawks are now in a three-way tie for first place in the NFC West at 4-2. Both wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and tight end AJ Barner had 61-yard receptions, with JSN posting his second-highest receiving yard total for a single game with 162 on the day. Sam Darnold threw a pair of touchdown passes to put Seattle ahead by as many as 14 points in the third quarter, the former of which was the aforementioned catch by Smith-Njigba. Despite a Jaguars TD early on in the fourth, the Seahawks...

On Sunday afternoon in northern Florida, the Seattle Seahawks dispatched the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-12 in a game where the Seattle defensive front controlled the game and for the most part kept the Jags off the scoreboard.

As has been the case all season, the number of snaps played by the top two running backs of the Seahawks was closely watched. It was, once again, Zach Charbonnet getting more playing time at the position, playing 33 snaps to the 19 logged by Kenneth Walker.

As of right now, no definitive explanation has been provided by the team for the difference in...

Seahawks have best QB-WR duo in the NFL – Seaside Joe Jaxon Smith-Njigba making history and Sam Darnold repeating it

[Finishing Strong On Defense & Other Takeaways From Mike Macdonald’s Monday Press...

The casual observer may have noticed that the Seattle Seahawks have split carries between their running backs.

The astute observer may have gleaned that Kenneth Walker is far and away the more effective back, yet Zach Charbonnet has nearly as many carries (78 to 60 in Walker’s favor, keeping in mind Charbonnet missed a game). The elite observer will note that Charbonnet had nearly double the snaps as Walker in Week 6 against Jacksonville (33 to 19).

So what gives? Are the coaches just incompetent, or bad at math?

It turns out, they might in fact be playing the long...

The legend of Mike Macdonald’s road warrior Seattle Seahawks continues to grow. Coming off a heartbreaking loss at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Seahawks went into Jacksonville and responded again after a home loss with a big bounce back victory over one of the early darlings of the NFL season.

With the win, the Seahawks move to 4-2, with a 3-0 record on the road, and are now 10-1 under Macdonald when on the road. The home/road splits are frustrating, but this level of road dominance is astonishing, and really should allow Seahawks fans to dream big and...

Why yes, we have a few more Monday Night Football doubleheaders to get through, including the one involving the Seattle Seahawks and Houston Texans next week. As far as this week, we actually have a palatable twin-bill. The early game is the 4-1 Buffalo Bills at the 2-2 Atlanta Falcons, who will host the Seahawks in December in a potentially important showdown. Meanwhile, the 2-2 Chicago Bears are back from their bye week and face the 3-2 Washington Commanders, aka Seattle’s first opponent after its bye.

I think you all remember what happened the last time the Bears played the...

The first head coach firing of 2025 is here.

On Monday, the Tennessee Titans fired head coach Brian Callahan following a 1-5 start to the season, as reported by ESPN’s Turron Davenport. The Seattle Seahawks are set to take on the Titans at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium in Week 12.

Callahan’s firing comes just one day after a loss to Pete Carroll’s Las Vegas Raiders, who led by as many as 17 points in the game. The Raiders were up 10-0 at halftime, with former Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith throwing his seventh touchdown pass of the season near the end of...

Jaxon Smith-Njigba is inevitable.

The Seattle Seahawks took down the Jacksonville Jaguars on the strength of the defense plus their explosive passing game. The connection between Sam Darnold and Smith-Njigba is otherworldly at the moment, and has propelled Seattle back into first in their division.

Yes, Smith-Njigba now leads the NFL with 696 receiving yards, having passed the now injured Puka Nacua in Week 6. But there are many more metrics that Smith-Njigba leads, and it’s worth asking just exactly how good could JSN’s 2025 campaign be?

I want to look at the pace for his total volume stats, the...

The Seattle Seahawks live to make the home crowd disappointed. While they forgot that they’re not supposed to do that at Lumen Field, it is truly astonishing what they’ve managed to do away from Seattle under Mike Macdonald. A whopping 10 wins out of 11 on the road, the latest of which came 20-12 over the Jacksonville Jaguars, who’d won three in a row prior to Sunday. The Jags fans might be disappointed but a 4-2 start with wins over the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers should provide some perspective on how well they’ve performed to start the...

It got a little hairy there near the end of the game with all the chances that the Seattle Seahawks kept giving the Jacksonville Jaguars, but Mike Macdonald’s crew stepped up when it counted and walked away with the 20-12 road victory – the ninth in a row for the franchise.

Jacksonville got on the board first, scoring an easy walk-in touchdown on what looked like a coverage breakdown. Both defenses were playing good ball early on besides Seattle’s snafu. Then, the Seahawks offense broke out of their malaise when Sam Darnold found the red-hot Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a 61-yard...

Before we dive into the links together, I’d like to exercise a bit of privilege and personally note something partially obvious, but nonetheless worthwhile: Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the franchise player we’ve been looking for. He’s the best of our two favorite and dearly transactioned receivers, and combined with his uncanny route-running and controlled madness, the ceiling for Smith-Njigba is yet to be breached. From Rockwall, TX to your living room, Jaxon is undoubtebly the freakin’ man. Thank you for attending my ThadTalk.
