Winners and Losers from Seahawks 13, 49ers 17

The wait is finally over. We have real, regular-season information on the 2025 Seattle Seahawks. Sam Darnold, Klint Kubiak’s offense, the Jalen Milroe package, all of it was unveiled Sunday afternoon.

It sucked.

0-1 is how Seattle starts the season, and there were Winners and Losers (besides the 49ers winning and the Seahawks losing). Let’s get to them!


Winners

Jaxon Smith-Njigba. What a strange conversation this offseason about him and Cooper Kupp, the loss of DK Metcalf, and a “prototypical WR1”. It seems, a very good wide receiver is friggin a very good wide receiver. Going 9-124 (with...

Sunday Night Football open thread: Ravens at Bills

Maybe the Baltimore Ravens would’ve lost to the Buffalo Bills anyway, but that Mark Andrews game-tying dropped two-point conversion has to go down as one of the more devastating playoff losses in NFL history. Now these two teams are set to rematch in the final Buffalo Bills season at their current stadium before moving to a new one in 2026.

Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are the last two regular season MVPs but the goal for both is to finally reach their first Super Bowl. Will either one of them do it? The Ravens and Bills are, as usual, among...

Seahawks-49ers Final Score: Seahawks 13, 49ers 17

The Seahawks came incredibly close to winning in walk-off fashion against the 49ers on Sunday afternoon, but a late Sam Darnold fumble forced by 49ers edge rusher Nick Bosa quickly put their comeback attempt to rest with 42 seconds left in the game. After quarterback Brock Purdy threw a touchdown with 1:34 on the clock, Darnold and the offense marched right down the field aided by a 40-yard catch-and-run by Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Three plays later, Darnold was stripped and the 49ers knelt out the clock to seal their 17-13 win at home in Santa Clara.

In his first start for...

Seahawks vs. 49ers 2nd half game thread: Seattle up 10-7 after tale of two kickers

It took the defense of the Seattle Seahawks until the second possession of the San Francisco 49ers to get settled, but the game at Lumen has been a hard-hitting, physical game between division rivals, just as most have expected.

The Niners jumped out to an early lead, scoring a touchdown on their first possession, but the Seahawks countered with a touchdown of their own to even the tally at seven each. The teams then traded field goal attempts, with San Francisco doinking an attempt off the upright, but Jason Myers putting his through the uprights to give Seattle a 10-7...

George Kittle ruled out of 49ers-Seahawks with hamstring injury

George Kittle ruled out of 49ers-Seahawks with hamstring injury

George Kittle is one of the most effective tight ends in the NFL — a fact Seahawks fans know too well. But the Seahawks will be spared the trouble of trying to contain Kittle for the rest of Sunday’s opener. Kittle left the game late in the second quarter with a hamstring injury and has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest.

Prior to injury, Kittle had four catches and 25 yards plus the Niners’ sole touchdown to this point. Kittle’s dominance as a receiver — he’s eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards in a season four time, including each...

Nick Emmanwori Questionable, heads to locker room

Nick Emmanwori Questionable, heads to locker room

The Seattle Seahawks took the field to face off against the division rival San Francisco 49ers in Week 1 action Sunday afternoon, giving fans their first chance to see the members of the 2025 NFL Draft in regular season action.

One of those rookies that fans have spent the summer waiting to see is second round selection Nick Emmanwori. With his unique physical and athletic skillset, how Mike Macdonald would deploy Emmanwori against opposing offenses was a heavily discussed and debated topic.

The type of weapon Emmanwori could present to opposing offenses was on full display on the first offensive...

Seahawks vs. 49ers 1st half game thread: A new era gets underway

It’s finally here.

The Seattle Seahawks’ 50th season begins against the same team whom they played their first (preseason) game against: the San Francisco 49ers. Geno Smith is out and the new quarterback in town is Sam Darnold, who had his own career resurrection with the Minnesota Vikings last season. Darnold’s previous stop was with none other than the 49ers, when current Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak was also on the 49ers staff.

But today is not just about Darnold. It’s about a Seahawks defense poised to be an undisputed top 10 unit, if not better. It’s about a Seahawks...

No surprise inactives as Jalen Milroe active for Seahawks opener

The Seattle Seahawks open the second season of the Mike Macdonald era Sunday afternoon at Lumen Field by hosting the San Francisco 49ers, giving fans the first chance to see the new offense of Klint Kubiak, as well as the 2025 rookies in action for the first time.

One interesting storyline has been how the team will make use of the unique skillset of rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe. It appears as though fans will likely get their first chance to see exactly some of what the coaching staff has up their sleeve for the speedy young signal caller, as Milroe...

Christian McCaffrey will play for 49ers against Seahawks, per report

Christian McCaffrey will play for 49ers against Seahawks, per report

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey will play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1, according to Adam Schefter. His status had been up in the air since being added to the injury report earlier this week with a calf injury.

McCaffrey was listed as questionable on the Week 1 injury report giving him a 50/50 chance to suit up. He barely practiced on Friday but said he was feeling great in the locker room. Then he participated in the walkthrough Saturday and was trending toward being in the lineup. The 49ers RB only appeared in four games in...
