It couldn’t happen, could it? Well, it’s happening. Philip Rivers, whose last NFL game was so long ago that the league was still playing 16-game regular seasons, is going to be starting for the Indianapolis Colts in a critical game against the Seattle Seahawks.

The 44-year-old grandfather has become the ultimate emergency option for the Colts following a season-ending Achilles injury to Daniel Jones. Notre Dame rookie Riley Leonard played in Jones’ absence during last week’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but came out of that game with a knee strain. Despite full practice status and no game designation, Indianapolis...

With the College Football Playoff field officially set and Bowl Season right around the corner, draft season is quietly heating up. While many prospects will opt out of bowl games to prepare for the 2026 NFL Draft, this is still a valuable window to evaluate players — especially for teams like the Seahawks, who have very specific needs.

Seattle enters the draft with just four selections after the trade for Rashid Shaheed: one pick each in Rounds 1, 2, 3, and 6. Because of that, this list focuses on interior offensive linemen who could realistically be available across Days 1,...

The Seahawks had to fight harder than expected to beat the Falcons. The first half from the offense was clearly below expectations, but the second half offered legitimate reasons to believe this unit can return to being productive. Adding even more value to the result is the fact that Atlanta had just beaten the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football, making Seattle’s victory look better in context.

Now, the focus shifts to the Indianapolis Colts. Not long ago, Indianapolis looked like a strong candidate for the No. 1 seed in the AFC, but a sharp decline in performance — combined with...

On Wednesday, the Seattle Seahawks designated Jalen Sundell and Eric Saubert to return to practice after a stint on injured reserve.

Neither of those two is an All Pro, or even Pro Bowl, caliber player, but both have specific skills that have been missed during their absence.

In particular, at center, Olu Oluwatimi has helped Sam Darnold and the offense remain near the top of the league in scoring, even as the tape shows a lack of athleticism and explosiveness relative to Sundell.

Both provide competent offensive line play, even if for different reasons. Olutwatimi brings a stoutness and push...

The Seattle Seahawks have announced the names that will serve as captains in a crucial matchup against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Crucial in that the Hawks seek to keep pace with the best record in the National Football Conference and the fight for the #1 seed.

The men that will serve as captains and gameday leaders will be quarterback Sam Darnold on offense, safety Julian Love on defense and fullback/tight end Brady Russell who will continue to be a key cog on special teams.

This will be Sam Darnold’s 5th game serving as captain. He is the signal-caller of...

The Seattle Seahawks appear on track to return to the postseason for the first time since 2022, with an opportunity to move one step closer to that goal Sunday when they host the Indianapolis Colts at Lumen Field.

However, when they do take on the Colts, they will do so without the services of one of their young thoroughbreds, as the team announced Friday afternoon that rookie second round tight end Elijah Arroyo will not suit up against Indianapolis.

This is likely not a major surprise for those who have followed the injury reports this week, with Arroyo not participating...

It’s been a couple of years of questions about whether to pursue Patrick Queen, re-sign guys like Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks, and trying out pieces such as Tyrel Dodson and Jerome Baker at the middle linebacker spots. Those spots seem to be simmering quite nicely now.

The off ball/inside linebacker unit did have some depth questions coming into this season. Remember some of the national pundits mocking LB as a potential first-round need for Seattle? That group didn’t get any additions in the draft and yet have proven to be a versatile and deep crew, and one that is...

Let’s hear it for Atlanta!

The Atlanta Falcons pulled off a ridiculous comeback against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night. Neither team is a threat to the Seattle Seahawks, as the Falcons have already been eliminated from the postseason and the Buccaneers are now in significant playoff peril. But it’s now the second time that a team has revealed the Seahawks to be better at football than one might have thought.

Blowouts are rare in the NFL. Let’s define a blowout as a victory of 13 or more points – the amount that Seattle is favored this Sunday against...

The Seattle Seahawks continue to show a clean injury report for Sunday’s Week 15 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts.

On the surface, it’s easy to be concerned about 16 players on the injury report, but only rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo did not practice for a second straight day. His knee injury suffered against the Atlanta Falcons will likely keep him out of the Colts game.

The only limited participants were safety Julian Love, whose practices in the short term may be managed a little more tightly due to how much time he missed with a hamstring injury, and tight...

The Atlanta Falcons are out of the playoffs after the Seattle Seahawks put them out of their misery last Sunday. Beyond playing for pride and jobs, the Falcons can play spoiler in the NFC South race.

After a 5-1 start, which included a thriller over the Seahawks, the Buccaneers have crashed to 7-6 and their comfortable NFC South lead has turned into a scrap with the Carolina Panthers. Those two will play twice over the final month of the season, but Tampa Bay can at least maintain a tie for first place by winning on Thursday. They’ll have Mike Evans...
