New story: The Seahawks and Vikings both made Sam Darnold-related gambles this offseason. One is reaping the benefits. The other is reeling without reliability at the switch. www.nytimes.com/athletic/684...

New story: Ken Walker III is finally RB1 again.

The #Seahawks have hit their stride in the run game over the last few weeks. Maybe consistency at lead RB will give Seattle the balance it needs to snag the NFC’s top spot. www.nytimes.com/athletic/683...
November 25, 2025 at 4:28 PM
New: The Titans tried to slow down JSN on Sunday. Everyone does. But the Titans learned the same lesson as every other team to play the #Seahawks this year.

JSN is inevitable.

And with 1,313 receiving yards thus far, he’s also a record-breaker. www.nytimes.com/athletic/683...

New story: Marquette King was one of the NFL’s best punters. And the most entertaining. Then he was out of the league before he turned 30.

He has a theory about what happened. www.nytimes.com/athletic/681...
November 21, 2025 at 9:09 PM
New: The #Seahawks O-line may be shorthanded Sunday against a Titans front that they know firsthand can give them problems

“Their record is whatever, but they’re a team that’s hungry, they’re a team that’s fighting, so we’ve got to come ready to play.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/682...

New: The #Seahawks have some decisions looming with impending free agents such as Coby Bryant, Josh Jobe, Riq Woolen, Boye Mafe, Ken Walker III, Rashid Shaheed & others.

Let’s check in on the contract-year guys, starting with a fascinating CB conundrum www.nytimes.com/athletic/682...

New story: Mike Macdonald has put together a championship-level defense in Seattle.

The signs have been there most of the year, then Sunday showcased it as well, even in defeat. The #Seahawks defense is real. www.nytimes.com/athletic/681...
November 18, 2025 at 4:39 PM
New: Mike Macdonald’s defense was ready for its biggest test of the season. His QB? That’s another story

Actually, it’s similar to Sam Darnold’s 2024 story. One 4-turnover game doesn’t define a QB, but it can cast doubt. That’s what happened Sunday. www.nytimes.com/athletic/681...
November 17, 2025 at 3:47 AM
New story: The Seahawks’ biggest game of the season is also the biggest of the Mike Macdonald era.

This game against the Rams is like looking in the mirror. This is the type of team the Seahawks gotta get thru to prove they are who they think they are. www.nytimes.com/athletic/680...

New story: On one of the league’s best defenses, playing alongside several standout talents, Seahawks rookie DB Nick Emmanwori is starting to shine.

The most encouraging part: He may only be scratching the surface in Mike Macdonald’s defense. www.nytimes.com/athletic/679...
November 11, 2025 at 4:11 PM
New story: As the difference between contenders and pretenders becomes clearer each week, the Seahawks are earning the right to call themselves elite -- and they may be getting better.

New story: The Seahawks put it all on display in a prime-time beatdown: Sam Darnold’s sharpness, JSN’s smoothness, the defense’s dominance.

The Seahawks are for real. That’s a fact. And they’re hungry for more.

New story: The Seahawks want to prove themselves right every week. Thus far, they’ve proven 2 things.

1. JSN is currently the NFL’s best receiver

2. Mike Macdonald once again has an elite defense.

And they’re still not satisfied

“We can be better.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/673...
