The Seahawks (8-6) almost certainly need to win against the Vikings (12-2) in order to have a decent shot at winning the NFC West over the Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks (8-6) are in virtual must-win territory entering Week 16. Unfortunately, one of the hottest teams in the NFL is rolling into Lumen Field in search of the NFC North title and the No. 1 seed in the conference.

Kevin O’Connell’s Minnesota Vikings are 12-2, winners of seven straight, and boast a very good offense and a great defense that will likely give a struggling Seattle offense fits. Like the Seahawks...

Geno Smith, Zach Charbonnet, and Coby Bryant will serve as captains for Sunday’s game.

The Seattle Seahawks have just released their list of Week 16 game captains for Sunday’s home contest versus the Minnesota Vikings.

Seattle named quarterback Geno Smith, running back Zach Charbonnet, and cornerback Coby Bryant as captains for a pivotal matchup against the 12-2 Vikings, who have won seven in a row coming into this game.

None of this week’s captains appear to have any ties to Minnesota. That being said, all three of them have been vital to the Seahawks’ success so far this season.

Smith...

Only three Seahawks have been ruled out, one of whom isn’t even on the active roster right now.

The final injury report is out for the Seattle Seahawks’ huge Week 16 home game against the Minnesota Vikings, and it couldn’t be much more positive for Seattle.

Only tight end Brady Russell, outside linebacker Trevis Gipson, and safety K’Von Wallace (who’s still on IR, technically) have been ruled out for Sunday. No one else was even listed as questionable, much less doubtful. That means Geno Smith, Kenneth Walker III, Olu Oluwatimi, Zach Charbonnet, and others who have either missed time or...

The Seahawks play action game is a mess under Ryan Grubb.

The Seattle Seahawks offense is as bad as we’ve seen it in years under new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb. Early optimism and hype following his days at the University of Washington have fizzled, and the stats are not pretty.

Among the themes of this season has been the seemingly bizarre lack of play action usage from Grubb, representing a complete departure from previous Seahawks offensive coordinators Darrell Bevell, Brian Schottenheimer, and Shane Waldron. According to NextGenStats, Smith ranks 33rd out of 34 quarterbacks in play-action rate. Smith has yet...

Looking at the four scenarios for the Seahawks as they look to get past the Rams in the NFC West title race.

It’s a tight finish in the NFC West between the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams for the division title. The Arizona Cardinals are lurking at 7-7 but not in a great position for a miracle finish, whereas the 6-8 San Francisco 49ers could be eliminated from the playoffs this weekend.

With the Seahawks throwing away their slender division lead last week, the Rams hold first place on the head-to-head tiebreaker despite having an identical 8-6 record. Not...

It’s been a long, long time since the Seahawks provided their home fans with so few wins.

Amidst a vibrant discussion on home field advantage for the Seattle Seahawks taking place this month, the team’s fate is already sealed as far as a winning record.

They will finish either a 3-6 or 4-5 record at home, depending on the outcome against the Minnesota Vikings. Fans have seen only three wins at Lumen all year, and chances are they won’t get more.

I went back 16 years, and Mike Macdonald’s first year as head coach has achieved a truly rare feat....

Can Seahawks go 15 rounds with a playoff team?

[With lingering knee issue, Seahawks’ Geno Smith says he expects to play vs. Vikings Sunday...

It looks as if Walker is set to return to the lineup for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks got good news regarding quarterback Geno Smith’s knee injury, and they have good news at the running back position.

Walker was a full participant at Thursday’s practice, marking his first full practice since he was injured in the Week 13 win over the New York Jets. That’s a good sign toward getting back onto the field. Zach Charbonnet, who’s started four games in Walker’s absence at separate points of the season, was upgraded to a limited participant with an oblique injury.

It’s already Week 16. Where did the season go? Where did 2024 go?

The final Thursday Night Football matchup before Christmas gives fans a matchup of two teams that would slot into the final two playoff spots in the AFC if the season ended today. However, the season does not end today, and the winner of the AFC West showdown between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers will be one step closer to clinching a playoff berth.

For the Broncos, it’s simple, and all they need to do is defeat the Chargers to lock up a trip to the...

This tiebreaker hurt the Seahawks last year but could benefit them this year. Emphasis on could.

It’s time for a little math lesson to go along with an NFL playoff picture breakdown for the Seattle Seahawks.

Yes, losing badly to the Green Bay Packers while Geno Smith suffered a (thankfully, not serious) knee injury really sucked. But Seattle still can make the playoffs by winning out, and indeed with the right set of outcomes could clinch the NFC West in Week 17. If you’re here to say “Seattle has no shot to make the playoffs” then feel free to click...

Sure, why not revisit one of the worst trades in Seahawks history for the millionth time?

It’s another day ending in y, which means it’s time to look back at the ill-fated Seattle Seahawks trade for Jamal Adams.

I’d like to say this is the first season since 2020 in which the Adams trade is not relevant to the team, but his $20 million dead cap hit impacts the 2024 squad.

ESPN’s Bill Barnwell ranked the biggest mistake by each NFL team since 2020, and the Adams trade was (perhaps fittingly) ranked 12th. Here’s a little refresher on both the...

Woolen responded to his coach’s comments in a separate interview.

The Seattle Seahawks effectively gave themselves no chance to win with a poor start against the Green Bay Packers, and among those who had a nightmare opening half was cornerback Riq Woolen.

Just in the first half, Woolen committed an obvious roughing the passer penalty on the game’s second play, allowed a career-worst fifth touchdown of the season to Romeo Doubs, gave up a 36-yard pass to Christian Watson, and committed a defensive pass interference penalty on Doubs to give the Packers a chipshot field goal before halftime.
