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...

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.

“That’s just how great of a team we are.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/677...

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...

New story: On the quiet confidence of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the NFL’s leading receiver.

New story: The 2025 season continues to set up a helluva victory lap for John Schneider, whose offseason moves keep playing a big role in the Seahawks’ success.

Seattle’s Week 6 win over the Jags was the latest example. www.nytimes.com/athletic/671...

New: Sam Darnold is right to hold himself accountable for the parts of the failed final play that were in his control

It’s also correct that he shouldn’t have needed a *6th* straight TD drive to win a home game.

On another “unacceptable” loss at Lumen. www.nytimes.com/athletic/669...
October 6, 2025 at 2:56 AM
New story: A new era of Seahawks defense is in full swing and Ernest Jones IV is right where he belongs.

In the front, leading the franchise through the fire.

New story: The Seahawks have one of the NFL’s best defenses, and a potential logjam in the defensive back room that needs to be sorted out.

Teams are reportedly eyeing Riq Woolen. If competition is everything, might we see a shakeup in the secondary? www.nytimes.com/athletic/667...
September 30, 2025 at 3:33 PM
New story: Mike Macdonald said if the Seahawks can't hang their hat on wide zone, they'll be in trouble.

They're not necessarily in trouble yet but that's really the only major flaw in what has otherwise been a great start for the 3-1 Seahawks. www.nytimes.com/athletic/667...
September 29, 2025 at 5:28 PM
New: Sam Darnold is playing “out of his mind,” JSN is producing like a star and the Seahawks have now won 3 straight thanks in large part to the chemistry between WR1 and QB1. www.nytimes.com/athletic/666...
September 26, 2025 at 2:25 PM
New story: On Seahawks QB Sam Darnold, who thru 3 games is completing 70% of his passes and averaging 9 yards per attempt.

Seattle signed the $100 Million man to be aggressive, accurate, on time and decisive. Sam has been all that, and a little more. www.nytimes.com/athletic/665...

New story: The Seahawks had one of those “we are who we think we are” type of games on Sunday.

This 31-point win at home is the product of Mike Macdonald’s process working, and his vision — the one John Schneider prayed for — coming to life. www.nytimes.com/athletic/665...
