The Seattle Seahawks (4-2) were undermanned on defense, but they played like they had a full set of available players on Sunday.

Mike Macdonald’s group sacked Trevor Lawrence seven times and held the Jaguars rushing attack to just 59 yards on 19 attempts, and despite some early coverage busts, the Seahawks were able to win 20-12 in a game that was very ugly to watch but is nevertheless a huge W for Seattle. They are now 10-1 on the road under Mike Macdonald with nine consecutive victories outside of Lumen Field.

Sam Darnold wasn’t at his absolute sharpest, but he...

We’ve got only three games in this late afternoon window, but one is very relevant to the Seattle Seahawks.

Forget about whatever head-to-head tiebreaker the Seahawks don’t have on the Buccaneers, because the NFC West is more important. The Bucs beat Seattle last week, but they can so Seattle a solid by knocking off the San Francisco 49ers, who will not have Brock Purdy or Ricky Pearsall, but that didn’t stop them from winning against the Los Angeles Rams. We would love a Tampa Bay victory.

The other two games are the Cincinnati Bengals (now led by Joe Flacco) at...

The undermanned Seattle Seahawks defense has held the Jacksonville Jaguars to just six points. If anything, the offense hasn’t been great outside of Sam Darnold throwing to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, which is almost the entire passing attack. He’s caught 5 passes for 117 yards and Seattle’s only touchdown, which went for 61 yards on new Jaguars CB Greg Newsome.

Trevor Lawrence has been sacked three times and pressured a few more times. The run defense has been very good as usual, and the banged up secondary has had some terrible coverage busts but otherwise has not been a game-breaking liability.

The Seattle Seahawks have won nine of their 10 road games under Mike Macdonald, something only accomplished by a select few championship-winning coaches. This is going to be one of the tougher road matchups to date, as the Jacksonville Jaguars are on a hot streak and are one of the surprise stories of the NFL. After their dramatic win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night, the Jags are 4-1 while the Seahawks are 3-2 after last week’s home loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

For Seattle to assure itself of a winning record entering the Week 8 bye,...

Fans of the Seattle Seahawks entered the season with elevated expectations for the team in the second season under head coach Mike Macdonald, and through the first few weeks of the season, the team lived up to those expectations.

However, as is so often the case in the NFL, injuries reared their ugly head, contributing in a material way to a Week 5 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home. Now, in Week 6 the Seahawks will take on another Florida foe, this time making a cross-country road trip to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars, who currently lead the...

Rise and shine, Seattle Seahawks fans! It’s a 10 am PT road game for the last time until late November. The Jacksonville Jaguars have been one of the surprise teams of the 2025 NFL season, and indeed they’re tied for top spot in the AFC with a 4-1 record. The Seahawks will have their hands full trying to stay above .500 and not potentially cede ground in the NFC West race.

I’m dreading having to review last week’s five predictions because I know they were unfiltered sewer water, but we’ll do it anyway before trotting out this week’s predictions.

The Seattle Seahawks (3-2) are banged up and coming off a difficult loss at home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They don’t get a soft landing this week, as they travel to Florida to face the red-hot Jacksonville Jaguars (4-1), winners of three straight and a perfect 3-0 at home. Jacksonville leads the NFL in takeaways and is looking like a playoff-caliber team under first-year head coach Liam Coen. Seattle is in the intensely competitive NFC West and is looking to keep pace with the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams. While the Seahawks have been a poor home...

Having lost to one Florida team last week, the Seattle Seahawks will go to the Sunshine State to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Last time Seattle faced Trevor Lawrence, the Jags were on their way to a 3-14 season in which Urban Meyer didn’t even last the full season as head coach. Things are slightly different in 2025, as the Jaguars are 4-1 under first-year head coach Liam Coen, boasting a defense that leads the league in takeaways and an offense that has not been great but at least good enough to win games.

It’s time for another edition of...

For the fourth time dating back to 2024, Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Leonard Williams has seen his pockets lightened for an on-field infraction.

The NFL docked Williams $46,371 for his headbutting personal foul penalty in the third quarter of Seattle’s 38-35 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Presumably the reason for the severity of this fine is tied to his previous personal foul penalty and subsequent fine against the New Orleans Saints.

This penalty turned a run stop by Ernest Jones IV into a new set of downs and an eventual touchdown for the Buccaneers.

Williams was twice fined last...

As expected, a banged up secondary has the Seattle Seahawks looking to their practice squad for a pair of game day call-ups for Sunday’s showdown with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Veteran cornerback Shaquill Griffin has been elevated to the active roster, giving Seattle much needed help with Devon Witherspoon listed as doubtful and Riq Woolen downgraded to out with a concussion. Griffin’s only game time this season consisted of three defensive snaps against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It’ll be interesting to see if Griffin gets any more playing time than Nehemiah Pritchett, who had a tough time stepping in for Woolen against...

The NFC West has a banger of a lineup this weekend, which threatens to further divide the standings or send the whole thing back into chaos.

Here’s the full four-game slate in Week 6, along with the stakes for the standings.
