The NFL’s Divisional Round is complete, and now the Conference Championship weekend awaits for the Seattle Seahawks and three other teams. In the meantime, the College Football Playoff will crown its second national champion of the 12-team era in Miami on Monday night.

In a statement few barely believed could ever happen, the Indiana Hoosiers are the undisputed best team in the country and have the best quarterback in college football. Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza is from Miami and gets to return home for the wonderful opportunity of sealing Indiana’s first ever national title. Curt Cignetti’s group smashed Alabama...

The Seattle Seahawks rookies combined for 141 snaps in the NFC Divisional Round romp of the San Francisco 49ers. That number was inflated by garbage-time reps in the fourth quarter. It’s also important to remember that the Seahawks currently have two rookies on Injured Reserve and had four rookies inactive for this game as healthy scratches.

Let’s break down some of the key snaps from the All-22.

Grey Zabel – Offensive Guard (53 snaps)

Coming off the best game of his young career, Zabel followed it up with another strong performance in both phases, playing a key role...

Zach Charbonnet’s season-ending knee injury was a huge bummer for the Seattle Seahawks ahead of the NFC Championship game. However, that was not the only injury news for Seattle.

Head coach Mike Macdonald also called starting left tackle Charles Cross “day-to-day” with a foot injury. Cross started the Divisional Game against the San Francisco 49ers but was held out the rest of the game “out of caution” according to Macdonald. He went on to say that “we will need to work through that, day-to-day is the best way to put it.” regarding Cross’ foot.

If Cross is unable to go...

Amidst arguably the most stunning season in Seattle Seahawks history, and the wildest NFL playoffs in recent history, we still have one last college football game to play.

On Monday night, we will see one of the most unlikely national championship games ever, as the No. 10 seed Miami Hurricanes return to home, literally and figuratively, to their place as a blue blood in the sport, while the No. 1 seed Indiana Hoosiers look to finish off the most dominant Cinderella season ever.

While many would assume the Seahawks are all in on Sunday and beating the Los Angeles Rams...

Unfortunately, Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald’s initial optimism that running back Zach Charbonnet’s injury was not serious was merely optimism. The reality is that Charbonnet, who led all Seahawks players with 12 touchdowns scored, will not play again this season.

Coach Macdonald confirmed on his weekly Seattle Sports 710 radio appearance that Charbonnet’s knee injury, which he suffered in the second quarter of Seattle’s 41-6 Divisional Round win over the San Francisco 49ers, is serious enough to need season-ending surgery.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Charbonnet tore his ACL.

Charbonnet was in the middle of the best season of...

The odds at FanDuel Sportsbook list the Seattle Seahawks as slight home favorites against the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game, with Seattle sitting at around -158 on the moneyline while the Rams come in at +134. That pricing reflects the expectation that the Seahawks benefit from playing at Lumen Field while still acknowledging how narrow the gap is between these two teams. The fact that the Seahawks won decisively against the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round didn’t create much of an advantage, even with the Rams coming off an overtime game in the cold of...

The Seattle Seahawk should’ve won by way more than 10 points in their Week 18 win over the San Francisco 49ers. I’d say they made up for it in the Divisional Round, winning 41-6 and sending the Niners into the offseason. It’s not only the worst loss of the Kyle Shanahan era, it’s the second-worst loss the 49ers have ever had against the Seahawks in team history. Few Seahawks wins have ever felt this satisfying to watch.

For the first time in six years, it’s Enemy Reaction time following a Seahawks playoff win! We have ourselves a glorious Niners Nation...

In Today’s Links: several thoughts and previews of this Sunday’s match-up between our Seattle Seahawks and their Los Angeles Rams, the trades that helped our squad get to this point, news and numbers of note from last Saturday’s huge win against the 49ers, a look at the 4th down stops by the Dark Side Defense from said game, how Sam Darnold managed his oblique injury to be able to perform, Grey Zabel and his “perfect game”, how the ‘Hawks are set up for an even stronger 2026, and a lot more. Dive in. Get some knowledge. The week of preparation...

The Seattle Seahawks’ NFC Championship Game opponent is set.

In the final game of NFL Divisional Round weekend, the Chicago Bears’ magical season came to a crushing end against the Los Angeles Rams. Despite Caleb Williams’ absolutely absurd game-tying touchdown pass to Cole Kmet on 4th down in the closing stages of regulation, the Rams defense came up with a critical interception in overtime to set up Harrison Mevis’ game-winning 42-yard field goal. The Rams survive and advance in a 20-17 classic to set up the trilogy with the Seahawks.

We know the story by now: Sam Darnold’s four interceptions...

The Seattle Seahawks will be hosting the NFC Championship Game next Sunday after soundly defeating the San Francisco 49ers. As for who they’ll face next? We’ve still yet to figure that one out.

It’ll be a bitterly cold and snowy and blustery day in Chicago when the Bears take on the Los Angeles Rams. On paper, the Rams should win, but they narrowly escaped the Carolina Panthers a week ago. The Chicago Bears have been an inspiring story filled with improbable comeback wins under rookie head coach Ben Johnson and second-year quarterback Caleb Williams.

Seattle has faced the Rams twice...

Thirteen seconds to victory.

The Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers played out the remaining 59:47, out of sportsmanship, and also because Fox had sold a boatload of ads. But the Niners would never reach seven points and the Seahawks would never look back. The objects in the rear view mirror would only get smaller and smaller. One of the league’s great rivalries would tip in one direction for the foreseeable future.

Seattle 41, San Francisco 6 was an ass-kicking, and that’s being polite. For once, a game was exactly as close as the score indicated. There was a punishing...

Lost in the shuffle of the weekend, sandwiched in between a Sam Darnold oblique injury and a 41-6 desecration of the Bay Area, a head coaching hire took place. One with at least some potential implications to the Seattle Seahawks.

The Atlanta Falcons hired Kevin Stefanski, becoming the second franchise to fill their vacancy and raising significant questions about Klint Kubiak.

The most experienced coaches available this cycle (outside Mike Tomlin) have now been recruited. It hits Seattle in a particular way because of all the interviews and availabilities, Kubiak had most strongly been rumored and connected to Atlanta.

Regrettably,...
