With each of their Week 18 main courses within sniffing distance, the Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers plopped down in your booth at Chili’s, knocked over your drink and half-apologized, ordered your least favorite appetizer for the whole table, ate it noisily, talked with their mouths full, and never stopped badgering the server for more refills. Then after halftime, they started fighting. One left the restaurant with a bloody nose, the other with a win. All in all, a pretty eventful night out.

Indeed, after a first quarter devoid of big plays and thus nearly points-free, a second quarter out...

The Seattle Seahawks are a win away from the NFC West title, and it’ll have to be against the San Francisco 49ers.

After a thrilling 42-38 win for the 49ers over the Chicago Bears, the Los Angeles Rams are officially eliminated from the NFC West and No. 1 seed contention. You want to spin a negative (Seahawks can’t clinch the NFC West in Week 17 like was dreamed) into a positive? The Rams essentially lost the division title in Seattle next week.

Now the goal for the Seahawks is to capture the division and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs against...

The Seattle Seahawks walked out of Sunday with a 27–10 win over the Carolina Panthers, but as has often been the case this season, the final score doesn’t fully capture the tension beneath the surface. That’s exactly what makes the live crossover post-game reaction between The Hawks Eye and Seahawks Forever—featuring Dan Viens—worth tuning into.

For the fifth straight week, the Seahawks offense struggled to find rhythm in the first half. Drives stalled, execution lagged, and opportunities were left on the field. While Seattle eventually took control, this month-long trend is becoming harder to ignore—especially with the playoffs looming. A...

The Seattle Seahawks can win the NFC West if the San Francisco 49ers lose to the Chicago Bears and the Los Angeles Rams somehow lose to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday. They can win the NFC West and lock up the NFC’s top seed with the Rams lose AND the 49ers and Bears play to a tie. Only a tie is an acceptable outcome in this scenario.

Chicago is still nipping at Seattle’s heels for the NFC’s No. 1 seed, too. The Bears would hold a conference record tiebreaker on the Seahawks, so even if the Seahawks win the NFC...

The Seattle Seahawks were left short-handed at wide receiver after two early exits in their 27-10 win over the Carolina Panthers.

Cody White was the first of the contributors to go down, suffering a groin injury while nearly blocking a punt early in the first quarter. After the game, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald provided a minor and speculative update on White’s condition.

“We’ll see. It’s probably going to be some time with Cody,” Macdonald said.

Macdonald was similarly tight-lipped when it came to the condition of receiver and special teams ace Rashid Shaheed, who entered concussion protocol after a...

The Seattle Seahawks have not lost a regular season road game to the Carolina Panthers since 2007, and that trend holds true for another season. As we’ve seen in a few other Seahawks wins, a slow first half gave way to a monster second half and a very comfortable win in the end. Any nerves when it was 3-3 at halftime disappeared when the Panthers, yes, the Panthers, were kneeling down in a 27-10 game. You know you’ve had a bad day on offense when you’re in “victory formation” but to surrender a loss in a game that could’ve won...

A sluggish start, but a strong finish for the Seattle Seahawks (13-3), who are now on the doorstep of the NFC West title and the No. 1 seed. What was a 3-3 score at the half with the Carolina Panthers (8-8) turned into a 27-10 rout. Bryce Young was just 14/24 for 54 yards and an interception, although he did have Carolina’s only touchdown on a scramble. It was another outstanding showing from the Seahawks’ elite defense, who limited the Panthers to 139 total yards. Incidentally, Carolina would’ve won the NFC South had they beaten the Seahawks, but they’ll have...

The Seattle Seahawks’ wide receiver room took suffered another blow in their battle to stay atop in the NFC against the Carolina Panthers.

Their special teams star Rashid Shaheed was ruled out with a concussion after leaving the field late in the first quarter. Shaheed was hit out of bounds by former Seahawks cornerback Mike Jackson on a punt return.

After losing Cody White earlier in the game, the Seahawks are down to just Jake Bobo and Dareke Young behind their two starting wideouts, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp. In addition to stepping up in the reciving game, Bobo and...

Absolutely nobody deserved to be winning at halftime. The Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers are tied 3-3 after a rotten first half of football in which the Seahawks probably could’ve had three or four turnovers by now, while the Panthers have barely done anything on offense.

Sam Darnold looks shaky. Klint Kubiak’s play action game has been snuffed out. The running game is actually working but they’re not committing to it. Seattle’s defense has been amazing. The referees have been atrocious. I am not enjoying any of this.

The Miami Dolphins also lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the half,...

In a game with playoff implications for both NFC teams, the Seattle Seahawks lost a special teams contributor early.

Wideout Cody White is doubtful to return with a groin injury. The injury occurred after White nearly blocked a punt early in the 1st quarter and had to limp off the field.

Seattle will now look to other players to step up both as fill-in WR’s (White has shown impressive run-blocking prowess at times) as well as kick coverage participants. Jake Bobo, who has been off-and-on in terms of being active on game days, is active this time, so the Seahawks...

The Seattle Seahawks cannot clinch the NFC West today, but they sure as hell can throw it away.

It’s the penultimate week of the 2025 regular season. Seattle is 12-3 and is on the cusp of winning the division and the top seed, but the task is not easy. Yes, the Seahawks only need to win their final two games, but those games are against the 8-7 Carolina Panthers and 11-4 San Francisco 49ers. Carolina is in position to win the NF South with a win over the Seahawks and a Tampa Bay Buccaneers loss to the Miami Dolphins.

The...

The first place Seattle Seahawks currently sit atop both the NFC West division and the conference, and Week 17 has the team on the road looking to stay perched atop both.

That won’t be an easy task, though, as the opponent is the Carolina Panthers, coached by former Seahawks assistant coach Dave Canales, who has his team looking to clinch a playoff berth of their own while also taking on the top seed in the NFC for the third time already this season. In Week 9 the Panthers defeated the then 5-1-1 Green Bay Packers, and in Week 9 Carolina...
