49ers vs. Seahawks

Games one and two on NFL Thanksgiving feature one of the best teams in the league, and so will game three of the NFL on Thanksgiving. The San Francisco 49ers started the season 5-0. They lost three straight after that, but they appear to be back on track now after winning their last

two games by a sizable amount. The team has cut down on their turnovers and it has led to their recent success. Chase Young (mentioned earlier) is on the Niners now, and he has been a great fit opposite of Nick Bosa, arguably the best edge rusher in football.

The 49ers opponent will also be a good one. The Seattle Seahawks are 6-4, but they have hit a little bit of a rough patch recently. Recent losses to the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Rams were devastating. The Seahawks have one of the toughest schedules going forward, so a win

against the Niners is a must.

Seahawks most to blame for gut-wrenching Week 11 loss to Rams

Story by Enzo Flojo

The Seattle Seahawks suffered a gut-wrenching loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11, with a missed field goal at the end sealing Seattle’s fate. The Seahawks had a chance to win the game. However, they failed to close it out, and now they are in serious jeopardy. In this article, we

will discuss the four Seattle Seahawks personnel we can blame for the loss and analyze their performance.

Week 11 Loss

In essence, Sunday proved to be a disappointing outing for Seattle. They had a golden opportunity to overcome their toughest division rival but fell short. They missed out on a crucial win before the upcoming Thanksgiving game against San Francisco.

While the Seahawks dominated the first half, the tables turned in the second half. They were outscored 10-3, resulting in the 17-16 loss to the Rams. This loss dealt a severe blow to the Seahawks. They left this game with a 6-4 record. It placed their playoff hopes in serious jeopardy.

Here we will look at the four Seattle Seahawks who are most to blame for their Week 11 loss vs. the Los Angeles Rams.

Jason Myers

When the Seahawks entrusted Jason Myers with a potentially game-winning 55-yard field goal, expectations were high. Unfortunately, Myers fell short of delivering. This outcome can impact the confidence of kickers, whose egos are known to be fragile. While Seattle still believes in

Myers, handling this situation delicately is crucial to prevent a potential negative ripple effect.

Despite strategically placing Myers in a favorable position and on his preferred hash mark, the result was not as anticipated. Myers, known for his reliability, experienced a rare miss at a critical juncture. Even the esteemed Justin Tucker occasionally misses, but the timing of Myers’ error

adds to the disappointment.

Pete Carroll

In the waning eight seconds, Seahawks QB Geno Smith positioned the Seahawks for a game-winning field goal attempt beyond 55 yards. With no timeouts available, Carroll opted for a running play to set up Myers on the appropriate hash mark. However, the decision to settle for a 50-

plus yard attempt raises eyebrows. Myers’ subsequent miss magnifies the scrutiny on Carroll’s choice, jeopardizing the team’s seeding in the NFC.

Sure, avoiding a pass play in that situation has its merits. However, Carroll’s trust in his quarterback could have led to a more favorable field goal attempt. Opting for a sideline pass play might have set Myers up for a more manageable kick.

Pass Rush

In contrast to their lackluster Week 1 performance, the Seahawks showed improvement in Week 11. Still, they generated only three quarterback hits and a lone sack by cornerback Devon Witherspoon. However, Boye Mafe’s seven-game sack streak came to an unfortunate end. Despite

several close attempts, the pass rush struggled to contain Matthew Stafford. This highlighted an area that requires correction before the upcoming game. The defensive unit’s overall performance against the Rams offensive line was subpar. Not surprisingly, questions arise about the

continued inclusion of Frank Clark in the lineup.

Drew Lock

The decision to assess backup QB Drew Lock’s capabilities faced challenges as he struggled during Smith’s absence. Lock’s inaccuracy was evident. This led to a mere 2-of-6 completion rate for three yards and an interception. While Lock showcased mobility and a strong arm, his fatal

inaccuracy proved detrimental. This prompted Smith’s reinsertion into the lineup.

Despite Lock’s youth and high draft status, the presumed higher ceiling did not manifest on the field. The argument against his erratic performance challenges the notion that toolsy and mobile quarterbacks with inherent accuracy issues can succeed. Of course, someone like Josh Allen is

cited as a rare exception rather than the rule.

Looking Ahead

The Week 11 loss for the Seattle Seahawks against the Los Angeles Rams revealed a combination of factors contributing to the defeat. Jason Myers’ uncharacteristic miss in a critical moment, Pete Carroll’s strategic decisions in the final seconds, the pass rush’s mixed performance, and

Drew Lock’s struggles underlined the challenges faced by the team. As the Seahawks navigate the remainder of the season, addressing these issues becomes paramount to secure playoff contention. The collective effort to learn from these setbacks, make necessary adjustments, and

maintain confidence in key players will be crucial for the Seahawks to rebound and pursue success in the face of adversity.

Seahawks’ Pete Carroll sheds doubt on Geno Smith playing Thanksgiving game vs. 49ers

Story by Jay Postrado

Geno Smith has been the offensive engine of a Seattle Seahawks squad that is keeping their postseason hopes alive. Outgunning Matthew Stafford along with escaping tough tackles and sacks from the Aaron Donald-led Los Angeles Rams secondary is tough. He looked poised to make a

run after their win. But, fans might need to lower their expectations as Pete Carroll disclosed his quarterback’s probable status ahead of their Thanksgiving clash against the San Francisco 49ers.

Pete Carroll has unveiled that Geno Smith endured bruises on his triceps amid their loss to the Rams, per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. This makes it unlikely for the Seahawks quarterback to be ready to face Nick Bosa and the insanely good 49ers defensive squad.

This will be a huge loss to the Seahawks. Not only will they slide down to a five-loss record if they lose, but they will also find it hard to look for a playmaker like Smith. His importance cannot be understated in their run for a postseason berth. Against Matthew Stafford and the Rams, he

notched 223 passing yards on 22 completions. A passing touchdown to DK Metcalf made it all the sweeter.

But, once Carroll pulled him out of the game, the Seahawks offense looked lost. They could not score for the whole of the fourth quarter which spelled their unfortunate loss. Drew Lock will have to step up if they wish to win in Thanksgiving.

Will the Seahawks see another breakout star when they face the 49ers or is this it?

Seahawks’ Kenneth Walker in danger of missing time after injury vs. Rams

Story by Poch de la Rosa

Second-year Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III could miss some time. He suffered an oblique injury during their 17-16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll broke the sobering news after Seattle’s fourth loss of the season, per ESPN NFL senior insider Adam Schefter.

“Seahawks’ HC Pete Carroll told reporters that RB Kenneth Walker suffered an ‘oblique strain that was legit,'” Schefter tweeted on Sunday.

“Walker is in danger of missing some time; Seahawks host the 49ers on Thanksgiving night,” Schefter added.

INJURY UPDATE: Kenneth Walker III suffered an oblique strain in today’s game. Pete Carroll doesn’t know how much time he’ll miss as of right now. The @Seahawks play on Thursday night so with the short week ahead , Walker’s availability remains uncertain

Kenneth Walker had just 18 rushing yards on four carries before he went to the Seahawks’ locker room for further evaluation early in the first half.

Zach Charbonnet picked up the slack for the injured Walker and finished the game with 47 rushing yards on 14 carries. Seattle finished with a paltry 68 rushing yards in its second straight loss to the Rams.

Kenneth Walker and Geno Smith took their lumps against the Rams

Kenneth Walker wasn’t the only casualty in the Seahawks’ Week 11 loss. Seattle quarterback Geno Smith left the game in the third quarter after he took a vicious hit from Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald.

Smith suffered an elbow injury after taking the massive hit. Television cameras zoomed in on him receiving treatment on the sidelines. Although in-game updates revealed Geno Smith was questionable to return, he took the field with less than one minute remaining.

Smith shook off the effects of the elbow injury and led the Seahawks to a late drive that put them within field-goal range. To their dismay, Jason Myers missed a 55-yard field goal attempt that would’ve sealed their seventh win of the season. Instead, they watched in horror as the Rams

ended their three-game skid.

The Seahawks have a short four-day window prior to their Thanksgiving Day game against the San Francisco 49ers. Based on the recent reports, Kenneth Walker’s chances of suiting up for that game are slim to nil. It’s next man up for Pete Carroll and Co. moving forward.

Seahawks’ Geno Smith heads to medical tent after vicious Aaron Donald hit

Story by Angelo Guinhawa

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith was forced to leave the field during their Week 11 showdown against the Los Angeles Rams following a rather brutal hit from Aaron Donald.

Late in the third quarter, Donald forced his way past the Seahawks offensive line and onto the pocket to catch Smith as he was about to throw the ball. Donald then delivered a hard hit on the Seattle QB, putting him down and in clear pain.

Smith was then brought to the medical tent for evaluation, with the Seahawks eventually announcing that their QB1 suffered a right elbow injury. The 33-year-old signal-caller has since been labeled as questionable to return.

Live by the late game-winning field goal, die by the late game-winning field goal.

Jason Myers was the hero against the Washington Commanders, but his 55-yard field goal went wide right in the closing seconds. The Seattle Seahawks (6-4) are in serious jeopardy after losing 17-16 to the Los Angeles Rams (4-6). They dominated the 1st half but only led 13-7, then

the offense stalled out and injury to Geno Smith really was a disaster. Bad officiating hurt the Seahawks, bad discipline hurt the Seahawks even further, and the defense lost a 16-7 lead to Matthew Stafford and company.

Hard to envision the playoffs at this point despite the current 6-4 record. And frankly, it’s hard to continue to justify supporting much of this coaching staff given the systemic problems that happen every week.

Seahawks’ Pete Carroll not happy after losing to Rams: ‘We did that to ourselves’

Story by Jackson Stone

On Sunday afternoon, head coach Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks dropped to 6-4 on the 2023 NFL season with a disappointing road loss at the hands of their divisional rivals, the Los Angeles Rams. The Seahawks actually held a nine-point lead heading into the fourth and final

frame of this contest, which took place in SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles; however, the Rams outscored Seattle 10-0 in the quarter and ultimately, the Seahawks missed a potential game-winning field goal from 55 yards as time expired.

After the game, Carroll spoke on the frustration of the loss and how some self-inflicted wounds played into the final result.

“We made it really hard on ourselves so many times in this game with the calls that were made,” said Carroll, per Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune. “And I’m not disputing any of them. The penalties that happened were just out of line for us. We have not been good in that area

during the season in general, and today, it really blew up on us, and it gave them a really good chance to take advantage of it, and they did… I’m really disappointed because it feels like we did that to ourselves.”

Two of the Rams’ four wins this season have come at the expense of the Seahawks, who now sit at 6-4 past the midway point of the 2023 NFL season. Up next for the Seahawks is another divisional contest against one of the best teams in the NFL, the San Francisco 49ers, on

Thanksgiving night.

1st Quarter

The Seahawks started the game on defense, which has been a problem at times this season, but not on this occasion. Matthew Stafford was sacked by Devon Witherspoon on 2nd and 8, giving the rookie his 3rd on the year. Pressure. from Boye Mafe resulted in a hurried Stafford throw

and a three-and-out forced by the Seahawks defense.

Seattle’s offense converted its first two 3rd down attempts, once through the air to Tyler Lockett and once via Zach Charbonnet running it up the middle. Jaxon Smith-Njigba looked like he had a great sideline grab in the red zone, but Sean McVay’s challenge was successful after it was

ruled that JSN was out of bounds. No problem, as JSN caught the next pass over the middle to extend the drive. Geno Smith found DK Metcalf and Lockett on consecutive plays to get into a goal-to-go situation. Two plays later, DK found the end zone on the slant pass. What an opening

drive! We’re talking 14 plays, 88 yards, and 7 points!

It took only one play for the Rams to get to the Seattle 25. An encroachment on Jarran Reed gave them 1st and 5, then a defensive pass interference on Julian Love resulted in a field position flip. Love mistimed his jump and contacted Tutu Atwell before the ball got there. After

committing offensive pass interference, Cooper Kupp was wide open for a touchdown on a free play but Stafford could not connect. Leonard Williams jumped and the Rams didn’t punish the Seahawks defense. Rie Woolen was flagged for DPI on Atwell on 3rd and 5, which looked shaky

both for the contact and the ball being uncatchable. Three straight runs put the Rams at the 2-yard line. Sean McVay decided to go for it on 4th and goal. The Stafford throw to the end zone... incomplete! He looked for Atwell, but Tre Brown had him locked down.

2nd Quarter

Seattle steadily worked its way from the shadow of their end zone. Then Jaxon Smith-Njigba hauled in a terrific 32-yard pass in double coverage on 3rd and 10. High-point the ball and bring it down in Rams territory! Faced with 4th and 1, the Seahawks went for it and converted with

Zach Charbonnet. Phil Haynes opened up the whole to burst through for 8 yards. Consecutive penalties for delay of game and illegal shift backed the Seahawks up, killing a promising drive. Jason Myers was still on point from 54 to make it 10-0.

Matthew Stafford couldn’t find anything on the next possession and ended up with three straight incomplete passes. Julian Love nearly got to Stafford on a blitz, but Stafford escaped and threw it away.

DK Metcalf got free for 52 yards on a play-action 2nd and 2 deep shot, beating former preseason Seahawk Ahkello Witherspoon all the way to the Rams’ 7. Of course, asking for consistent red zone play is too much, and the drive went backwards. Jason Myers was money from 43 to

extend the lead.

The Rams finally got a good drive going with short passes and successful runs, but it came at a cost after Cooper Kupp suffered an injury. Tutu Atwell got free on a crosser to set up 1st and goal inside the 10. The Rams had 3rd and goal with :12 left at the Seattle 4, and Puka Nacua’s

first target was a touchdown. Tre Brown had tight coverage but Puka caught it in traffic.

3rd Quarter

Seattle started the 2nd half with a three-and-out, including a bad drop by Will Dissly and a broken up throw on 3rd and 2. The Seahawks defense got a three-and-out forced, with some assistance by the Rams for negating a 3rd down conversion on a holding penalty. DeeJay Dallas got hit

early on a punt return, giving the Seahawks great field position after the 15-yard penalty. Dallas got Seattle out of a jam by turning a 3rd and 11 checkdown into a 10-yard gain. Pete Carroll went for it on 4th and 1 and the Seahawks converted on a quick out to Charbonnet. A big holding

penalty on Colby Parkinson negated a good run by Zach Charbonnet, essentially killing hopes of a touchdown. Jason Myers was called upon again to give Seattle another two-score lead, this time from 52.

It was a puntfest for a bit, as neither team could sustain much offense or hold up well in pass protection. Matthew Stafford had a 91-yard touchdown possibly on a wheel route to Darrell Henderson, but he overshot him on 1st and 17. That miss turned into a punting situation, so the

Seahawks got a huge break. The game took a major turn when Geno Smith got crushed by Aaron Donald on a blown block by Phil Haynes. Somehow the pass wasn’t picked off as it hung in the air forever, but Drew Lock had to come in for the injured Smith. It looked like he got hit in the

head and fell hard on his right arm.

These @Seahawks Corners got something

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Has Quiet Afternoon In Week 11

11 in action.

4th Quarter

Drew Lock threw an incomplete pass on 3rd and 9 to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, leading to a punt. A penalty on Devon Witherspoon for a suplex on Austin Trammell gave the Rams a free 15 yards. However, Riq Woolen picked off Matt Stafford on the flea-flicker. Stafford got drilled by Mario

Edwards on the deep ball.

Seattle went three-and-out with Lock in for a second possession. The Rams had Stafford back out there after the huge shot he absorbed by Mario Edwards Jr on the interception. A big throw to Demarcus Robinson put LA in Seahawks territory. It took only a handful of snaps for the Rams

to get goal-to-go. A screen pass to Darrell Henderson nullified went f or a touchdown but was erased on an OPI call on Tyler Higbee, who blocked Julian Love before the pass was thrown. Devon Witherspoon was flagged for defensive pass interference on 3rd and goal, giving the Rams

another set of downs. All Witherspoon did was not contact Nacua, who tripped over Jordyn Brooks. A DREADFUL CALL. Henderson scored without any penalties on this occasion, cutting the Seahawks’ lead to 16-14 with 7:38 to go.

Lock threw a deep shot on 3rd and 11 and got picked off by Derion Kendrick on a pass intended for Tyler Lockett. A celebration penalty moved the Rams back 15 yards, but Stafford hit Nacua for a 32-yard gain anyway. Seattle had a 3rd and 15 stop, if only for a hands to the face penalty

on Riq Woolen to extend the drive. The run defense got gashed by Royce Freeman and suddenly LA was in field goal range. Freeman converted a 3rd and 2 by running over Bobby Wagner for a huge conversion. A Nacua just sweep put the Rams in goal-to-go, which led to Seattle burning

timeouts. Surprisingly, the Rams threw the ball and Stafford threw an incomplete pass. Another throw was caught but short of the end zone, so the chip shot field goal by Lucas Havrisik was good but with 1:31 left.

Geno Smith returned to the lineup. A throw to Lockett to his own 40 but the clock was running. Checkdown to Charbonnet for minimal gain. They reviewed this, which would’ve benefited Seattle just to stop the clock. The ruling upheld with :42 left. GENO TO DK TO THE RAMS’ 39! A run

with Charbonnet with :19 and a spike with :07 left. Jason Myers from 55 for the win. Timeout, Rams. The kick is no good. Seahawks lose.

Seahawks’ biggest concerns despite clutch Week 10 win over Commanders

Story by Shervon Fakhimi

The Seattle Seahawks entered Week 10 tied atop the NFC West with the San Francisco 49ers. They still find themselves there after a last-second win over the Washington Commanders by a final score of 29-26. Geno Smith had perhaps his best game of the season, as he finished with

369 yards and two touchdowns through the air on 31-47 passing. Smith put up prolific numbers, but this wasn’t an easy win.

The victory is great, but there is still plenty the Seahawks could improve and clean up. They may be tied for first in the NFC West for now, but the 49ers aren’t going anywhere. The Seahawks could have easily dropped the game because they weren’t the best in certain areas of the game.

Those are the areas they need to work on and continue to monitor as the season progresses.

Seahawks need run game consistency

Kenneth Walker is a very good running back. He can break a big play at any time, as he did on Sunday in Week 10 when he housed a dump off pass 64 yards to the end zone.

But that home run hitting has come at a cost: he isn’t a very consistent runner. That shows up in Seattle’s advanced stats. Though the Seahawks rank 10th in the NFL in EPA per rush on offense, they rank only 19th in the league in success rate. That may not seem like a big deal when

Walker scores big touchdowns, but it shows up when those don’t happen.

Walker had 19 carries and turned those into 63 yards. On the season, he’s averaging 4.1 yards per carry. Fortunately for the Seahawks, however, rookie Zach Charbonnet has been able to add some consistency they need on the ground. He doesn’t have Walker’s game-breaking ability,

but he is averaging 5.63 yards per carry and plays with the physicality Pete Carroll loves out of running backs.

Charbonnet has playing more recently; he’s played at least 52 percent of Seattle’s snaps in each of their last three games after not being above 45 percent in any game before that. He’s out-snapped Walker in each of those games. How that split shapes out and how consistent Seattle’s

running game becomes will be of utmost importance to monitor.

Red zone offense still an issue for Seahawks

The Seahawks currently rank 25th in the NFL in converting red zone appearances into touchdowns. The only teams below them? The Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Giants, Tennessee Titans, and New York Jets. Outside of the

Lions and Jaguars, that’s not exactly the company a team with realistic playoff goals and aspirations wants to associate themselves with.

Failing to convert in the red zone has been a problem for the Seahawks all season long, and it was once again evident in against the Commanders. Though inside the 30 doesn’t constitute as the red zone, the Seahawks got there six times. To be fair, one of those instances was on the last

drive where there wasn’t much time or the need to go for a touchdown, but still. Only one of those six instances resulted in a touchdown: a five-yard dart to Tyler Lockett.

The Seahawks are blessed with great playmakers in Walker, Lockett, DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and more. They can score from anywhere on the field. But the Seahawks as a whole have to get better at scoring touchdowns where teams are supposed to score them: in the red zone.

Seahawks’ Tyler Lockett gets concussion evaluation after Emmanuel Forbes’ hit

Story by Benedetto Vitale

Almost immediately after the game started, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett was taken off of the field due to injury. Hopefully, he’s okay, as the hit looked scary.

Geno Smith threw the ball to Tyler Lockett who looked open in the middle of the field. However, Washington Commanders’ cornerback, Emmanuel Forbes, came across the middle and hit Lockett right on the side of the head. As a result, Forbes was ejected from the game, according to

Seahawks beat writer, Gregg Bell.

“Commanders CB Emmanuel Forbes ejected for the helmet-to-helmet hit on Tyler Lockett, who is in the tent getting a concussion eval.”

Hits to the head are some of the most dangerous plays in football. Forbes’ hit didn’t look intentional though. Even so, the referees felt it made sense to remove the Commanders’ cornerback from the game.

Although the hit looked scary and dangerous, the Seahawks have officially cleared Lockett to return, per the team Twitter account. That’s only good news, as he cleared the Seahawks’ concussion protocol.

“Tyler Lockett has been cleared to return.”

So, everyone can breath a sigh of relief. Lockett should return unless the Seahawks want to play it safe or if a different injury pops up. That’s something that happened to Denzel Ward during the Cleveland Browns game against the Baltimore Ravens. He entered concussion protocol,

passed, but was ruled out with a neck injury.

With that said, keep an eye on Tyler Lockett. The Seahawks need him in the lineup to stay competitive, as he’s one of the most consistent wide receivers in the league.

Seahawks’ Jamal Adams fires back at Geno Smith critics after win vs. Commanders

Story by Jay Postrado

After a miserable loss to the Baltimore Ravens, fans started blasting Geno Smith, and his role as an offensive engine was put into question. The Seattle Seahawks quarterback hoped to redeem himself in their matchup against Sam Howell and the Washington Commanders. He was able

to deliver and in a big way. It even prompted Jamal Adams to lash back at the critics in his latest statement, via Brady Henderson of ESPN.

“Everybody’s going to put the heat on Geno because he’s the quarterback and whatnot. He just rose to the challenge like he always does,” was the message that Jamal Adams delivered after Geno Smith had an insane night.

In this win over the Commanders, the Seahawks passer notched 369 passing yards. All of this along with two touchdowns helped propel them in the offensive battle over Sam Howell. His comfort and ability to swerve when facing the opposing secondary were also on show. However, his

efficiency left a lot to be desired. He had missed 16 passes which meant that he only darted 31 completions to his weapons in what could have been an absolute demolition job.

Despite some of these mistakes and mishaps, the Seahawks rose to the occasion. They had avenged their terrible game where they only scored three points against the Ravens. Hopefully, a hot streak could be in the works such that the Seahawks get a good postseason seat. Will they be

able to make it atop the football pantheon come February because of these bounce-back performances?

Somehow, I never doubted that the Hawks would win this one, and now I know why. You just can’t fake confidence like this.

The Seattle Seahawks (6-3) offense started out sluggish, but Geno Smith and company sure came through late on at a time when the defense fell apart.

After some missed opportunities and the usual inability to finish off drives with the maximum points possible, the Seahawks lit up the Washington Commanders (4-6) for 20 points in the 2nd half. Geno’s slow, nervy start gave way to a career-high 369 yards passing, 2 touchdowns, and a

clutch game-winning drive culminating in Jason Myers’ walkoff field goal with no time left. A 9-9 slog at halftime turned into a 29-26 Seahawks win that substantially boosts their hopes of another playoff berth.

Smith though he had a winning touchdown to Tyler Lockett with 3:45, but Sam Howell battled back and found Dyami Brown for a tying touchdown with under a minute left. Geno, who played turnover-free football for the first time since Week 4, got a 7-play, 50-yard drive into field goal

range. DK Metcalf finished with 7 catches for 98 yards, including two huge grabs on the final possession to help Seattle get a priceless W.

It’s frustrating, it’s exciting, it’s boring, it’s dramatic, it’s Seahawks football. What else do you expect? The Seahawks are tied for top spot in the NFC West with the San Francisco 49ers, who beat the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier in the day.

Let’s go 12s. SEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAA!

1st Quarter

The Commanders got the ball and immediately scored. Not literally, but we’re talking a grand total of four plays. Sam Howell slipped out of a Jamal Adams blitz, and then Brian Robinson got free down the sideline for a 51-yard catch-and-run touchdown. A nightmare start for Seattle.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba got involved early on Seattle’s first drive. He caught a quick screen for 6 yards, then a 3rd and 6 conversion for 21 when he was matched up with a linebacker. A holding penalty on Charles Cross put the Seahawks behind schedule. Emmanuel Forbes lit up Tyler Lockett

on what was a 2nd and 14 drop. Forbes was penalized for the helmet-to-helmet hit and then ejected. Geno Smith was almost picked off on a screen pass, then found JSN on 3rd and 10 for 9. Instead of a 4th and 1 successful sneak, a delay of game forced the Seahawks into a field goal

attempt. Jason Myers drilled it from 45.

The Commanders only picked up one first down on their second possession before punting. Sam Howell nearly got picked by Devon Witherspoon, then checked it down on 3rd and 14 after a false start penalty put them behind the sticks. Seattle similarly only got one 1st down before

punting, as DK Metcalf dropped a pass deep down the field.

2nd Quarter

Sam Howell led a 10-play, 41-yard drive into Seahawks territory. Bad tackling by Jamal Adams led to one 3rd down conversion, while Bobby Wagner appeared to get lost on a crosser to Logan Thomas for another 3rd down pickup. Antonio Gibson’s drop almost led to a Jordyn Brooks pick,

but fell harmlessly incomplete. Joey Slye was brought on from 49 to extend the Commanders’ lead back to 6.

The Seahawks answered back with a 10-play, 51-yard drive but stalled out on a misfire from Geno to Zach Charbonnet on 3rd and 4. He might have been short of the first down anyway. Jason Myers tacked on another field goal.

Leonard Williams got the crowd riled up by sacking Sam Howell on 3rd down. The first sack as a Seahawk for the former New York Jets and Giants star!

4th down false start:

The three-and-out parade oscillated between Seattle and Washington over the span of three possessions. Starting from their own 31, the Seahawks finally had something get into the red zone. Geno scrambled for a first down, Kenneth Walker had an explosive run, and Jake Bobo had a

catch to take Seattle inside the Commanders’ 20. Faced with 4th and 1, the Seahawks eschewed a chip shot field goal to go for it at Washington’s 10. A Geno head-bob on a hard count was ruled illegal, so subtract 5 yards.

Sam Howell completed two short passes, then Riq Woolen broke up a throw on 3rd down for a quick three-and-out. This gave the Seahawks the ball back with :54 left and all 3 timeouts. A DK Metcalf grab got them to the 44. Geno was sacked but a hold on the Commanders gave them a

free 5 yards. Zach Charbonnet got into Washington territory with :31 to go before an injured Commanders player had to be helped off the field. Another Charbonnet touch, this time a run, got Seattle into field goal range. A hold by Phil Haynes put them out of FG range, but Geno to DK

got them inside the 35 again. Then he committed intentional grounding to end the half. UNACCEPTABLE.

Understood the assignment.

SPOOOOOON

After Ken Walker gave the Seattle Seahawks a third quarter lead over the Washington Commanders, Devon Witherspoon ripped the ball away from the Washington offense.

3rd Quarter

Out of the gate, a pair of 3-yard runs by Walker and the first Smith sack of the game by Jonathan Allen. The boos were loud. Washington’s first possession out of halftime saw Sam Howell again scramble and find a wide open Brian Robinson for 48 yards. The running back leaked out of

the backfield and raced down the sideline almost exactly like the touchdown. Thankfully, Seattle’s defense tightened up and Boye Mafe extended his sack streak to seven games. Joey Slye regained the lead for the Commanders from 47 out.

At last! At last a touchdown! Geno Smith completed a pass to DK Metcalf for 11, then found Ken Walker on a checkdown for a 64-yard catch-and-run touchdown! The first touchdown by Seahawks in seven quarters!

Seattle got a turnover off of Sam Howell. The read-option fooled the Seahawks defensive line, but Devon Witherspoon was there to strip Howell and Riq Woolen was on the spot for the recovery! Howell was on top of Quandre Diggs in that crazy sequence.

Still can't get over this fourth down conversion with Jason Peters

Seattle committed a couple of holding penalties and nuked their own drive, of course.

Sam Howell had a decent drive going until Dre’Mont Jones and Bobby Wagner converged on the second-year quarterback for a sack. Wagner broke up a 3rd and 16 pass to Curtis Samuel to get off the field.

4th Quarter

The Seahawks got to Washington’s 36 and were faced with a 4th and 1 up by just 4. They went for it and Zach Charbonnet gained 7 yards to move the chains. That was the end of the movement, and Jason Myers ended up with his fourth field goal of the day to make it a 7-point

Seahawks lead.

Washington curiously made almost no effort to run the ball, then they finally realized they could. Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson bullied the Seahawks to get to the Seattle 41 in just three plays. A few snaps later, Sam Howell was hit by Boye Mafe but still found Antonio Gibson for a

tying touchdown.

Devon Witherspoon. BALLER.

The Seahawks got out of a 1st and 15 jam by getting an 11-yard catch-and-run to Tyler Lockett, followed by a 5-yard pitch to Ken Walker. A beaut from Geno to Lockett got them into Commanders territory. A throw to Noah Fant lost 2 yards, setting up 4th and 5. Seattle went for it

instead of kick a long field goal. Geno saw DK Metcalf get mugged, threw it his way, and got the first down. Too many men in the huddle gifted teh Seahawks another 5. A crosser to Lockett put the Seahawks in the red zone. Benjamin St. Juste, who committed PI earlier on DK, got

dinged for face masking Ken Walker. Two plays later, Geno to Lockett on the sprint right throw for the lead with 3:45 to go.

Emmanuel Forbes ejected for helmet-to-helmet hit:

And here is a clip of Emmanuel Forbes leaving the field.

The Seahawks went on to kick a field goal on the drive, to get on the board early and cut the Washington lead to 6-3, and the Hawks will have Lockett at their disposal when they are back on offense after he was cleared to return.

A slant to Terry McLaurin put the Commanders just shy of midfield ahead of the two-minute warning. Howell threw it away under heavy pressure on 1st and 10 out of the 2MW. A drop by Jameson Crowder on 2nd and 10 when he could’ve had a first down. Sam Howell put it on him and

he missed the catch. Facing 3rd and 10, Howell found Antonio Gibson for 9 yards, putting them at 4th and 1 but with a timeout taken. The Commanders had all 3 timeouts to start the drive and wound up with just 1 with 1:28 to go. Game on the line... slant to McLaurin for a first down.

No good on the next pass to Jahan Dotson over the middle. Howell evades pressure and nearly picked by Diggs! Then a touchdown by Dyami Brown for 35 yards on 3rd and 10 as he caught it and took off for the score with :52 to go.

The Game-Winning Drive.

OVERALL

The big question for the Seahawks in this one was how they were going to respond to their 37-3 drubbing at the hands of the Ravens last week. For the most part Seattle did what it needed to do. Smith had a turnover-free game after turning the ball over eight times in the previous four

contests, and the late-game heroics suggests he may be back on track. San Francisco ended its three-game losing streak by blowing out Jacksonville earlier in the day, so the result kept the Seahawks tied for first place in the NFC West at 6-3.

Smith's Record-Breaking Day

Smith not only surpassed previous personal records with a career-high of 369 passing yards, but he also boasted a 103.9 passer rating, breaking a four-game interception streak – a marked improvement since his days with the New York Jets in 2014.

His clinical precision allowed receivers to maximize their yardage post-catch, a feat underscored by Pro Football Focus's statistics, which noted the Seahawks achieving a league-leading 254 receiving yards after the catch for the week.

5. Seattle Seahawks (6-3), second place, NFC West. The Seahawks outlasted the Commanders with more great play in the clutch and both their running game and defense setting the physical tone under Pete Carroll. They stay even with the winning 49ers in the division but remain

behind with a worse division record.

Safety Jamal Adams said the Seahawks believe in Smith even if their fans don’t — or don’t always.

“Obviously, everybody’s going to put the heat on Geno, because he’s the quarterback or whatnot,” Adams said. “You know, he just rose to the challenge, like he always does, man. “He came out and he had it on his mind. He knew, obviously, he was going to go down and punch it in.”

Seahawks adds ex-Rams QB to roster before Week 10

Story by Zachary Weinberger

The Seattle Seahawks have added some quarterback depth to the roster in the form of Brett Rypien who just recently started a game for the Los Angeles Rams in place of the injured Matthew Stafford. What makes the timing of the move ironic is that the Seahawks face the Rams in

Week 11 in an NFC West showdown according to Ari Meirov.

The #Seahawks signed QB Brett Rypien, who started for the #Rams last week. ... Seattle plays the Rams next week.

There’s no doubt that the move for the Seahawks can provide an upper-edge in learning more about the Rams on both sides of the ball. However, it seems like Rypien will be the third ranked quarterback on the depth chart if activated from the practice squad as the obvious starter is

Geno Smith and Drew Lock is the backup.

He went un-drafted out of Boise State Unversity in 2020 and is the nephew to quarterback and Super Bowl champion Mark Rypien. Besides being on the Rams this season, he spent most of his NFL career with the Denver Broncos, starting four games for them. Funny enough, he was

teammates with Seahawks quarterback and former Bronco Drew Lock.

The 27-year old signal-caller has thrown for 950 yards, four touchdowns, and nine interceptions in his career. Whether he sees playing time for the Seahawks is up in the air, but he should provide some contribution in the film and locker room when scouting the Rams.

Before the Seahawks face the Rams however, Seattle will have to get through the Washington Commanders when they play this Sunday as they’re set for a 4:25 p.m. (EST) kickoff. The Seahawks are currently 5-3 in the NFC West.

Seahawks bold predictions for Week 10 matchup vs Commanders

Offensive MVP: WR Tyler Lockett©Provided by Seahawks Wire

Wide receiver Tyler Lockett remains the most-consistent playmaker on Seattle's roster - and arguably the entire league. After eight games Lockett has totaled 38 catches, 402 yards and three touchdowns. He also has the team's highest Pro Football Focus grade on offense (77.4 overall)

for players with a minimum of 200+ snaps. Runner-up: WR DK Metcalf

Defensive MVP: LB Bobby Wagner

On the other side of the ball there's a clear MVP who's performing at a level head and shoulders above the rest of the unit. 33-year old linebacker Bobby Wagner has already posted 85 tackles and has only missed three attempts so far (3.4%). Bobby also has a team-best 86.8 PFF grade

this season. Runner-up: CB Devon Witherspoon

Most improved: OLB Boye Mafe

This was a close race but we had to give the hardware to second-year outside linebacker Boye Mafe - who may even have a case for the NFL's Most Improved Player of the Year award. As a rookie Mafe posted three sacks, four QB hits and eight pressures in 17 games. This year Mafe is up

to six sacks, nine quarterback hits and 12 pressures already. Runner-up: LB Jordyn Brooks

Best draft pick: CB Devon Witherspoon

This was hands-down the easiest call to make on this list. Cornerback Devon Witherspoon has more than lived up to the lofty expectations that go with being a top-five overall draft pick. Witherspoon has graded out well against the run, as a pass rusher and in coverage, where he's only

allowed a 54.9% completion rate and a 73.4 passer rating. Runner-up: G Anthony Bradford

Best UDFA: WR Jake Bobo

The same as in their peak days, Seattle is carrying a lot of undrafted free agents on the roster this year. Wide receiver Jake Bobo out of Duke and UCLA has by far been the best. In addition to some superb run blocking, Bobo has racked up 138 yards and three touchdowns from

scrimmage. Runner-up: LS Chris Stoll

“As long as we’re subject to the replay mode, I think they should get things right,” Carroll said Wednesday, as his Seahawks (5-3) prepared to host the Washington Commanders (4-5) Sunday at Lumen Field (1:25 p.m., channel 13).

Seahawks’ Pete Carroll has sage advice for Geno Smith after major struggles vs. Ravens

Story by Jay Postrado

The Seattle Seahawks did not get to start up their offense at all against the Lamar Jackson-led Baltimore Ravens. Geno Smith had struggled to find his favorite targets against the opposing secondary which led to a brutal 37-to-3 scoreline for the squad. It did not look well for Pete

Carroll and the rest of the coaching staff as a lot of the schematics looked questionable throughout the whole four quarters. The head coach unveiled his feelings on their offensive struggles and his quarterback, via Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune.

“He’s a great competitor. He believes in himself. So there are times—as all great quarterbacks—they think they can get it in there and so they’ll take their shot at it,” was the assessment that Pete Carroll made after Geno Smith looked helpless against the Ravens’ defensive unit and failed

to outgun Lamar Jackson.

The Seahawks quarterback only notched 13 completions on 28 passing attempts. They could also not take advantage of these darts as the team only got 157 passing yards. The interception he had thrown also did not help their chances to make the margin smaller.

But, the Seahawks head honcho wants their fans to know one thing, “But I would make the point to anyone that’s watching our program that we are doing everything we can to not give them the football. So anytime—ANYtime—we are turning the ball over it hurts. That does play into

when we feel like we are at our best.”

Will they be able to patch these issues up before they face the Washington Commanders?

“I don’t have the perfect answer, honestly,” Adams @Prez @Prez told reporters after the game about why his team got beat so badly. “They came out, and they hit us in the mouth, simple as that.”

“I think we made it easy on them, especially with the mistakes that we made.” - @GenoSmith3

“I don’t think this is about Geno, at all. I think this is about our football team, not answering the bell here. We couldn’t get it done,” @PeteCarroll said. “We came in here to slug it out, and they did a better job than we did with all of this.

“It wasn’t a good showing at all for us.” Says they need to “learn from it, fix it and move on.” - @TDLockett12

SEA 3 vs 37 BAL

Seahawks utterly humiliated in every way imaginable in 37-3 loss to Ravens

The Seahawks had a chance to make a statement. Technically, they did. A bad one.

Move forward.

By Mookie Alexander@mookiealexander

The Seattle Seahawks (5-3) got to experience an elite NFL team instead of the bad teams they’ve generally been beating over the past few weeks. We ended up with one of the worst performances of the entire Pete Carroll era.

Much like what happened to the Detroit Lions a couple of weeks back, the Baltimore Ravens (7-2) just smashed in the Seahawks to the tune of 37-3. Geno Smith completed less than half his passes, turned it over twice, could’ve easily turned it over more times, and was just bad. The

offensive line was under siege and couldn’t get any push against Baltimore, running for just 28 yards on 15 attempts.

The defense? Atrocious. Allowed almost 300 yards of RUSHING OFFENSE. Lamar Jackson was an efficient 21/26 for 187 yards. No touchdowns for him on the day, but his backup Tyler Huntley got in and threw a touchdown to Odell Beckham Jr for good measure.

Baltimore is one of the best teams in the NFL. Seattle is 5-3 but they are still miles off the elite of the league, just as they were last year. Geno Smith, Drew Lock, Mike Teel, Charlie Whitehurst, it doesn’t matter. This was an all-around failure and almost nothing positive can come out of

this performance.

We see you, @leonardwilliams.

1st Quarter

The Ravens won the coin toss, giving Seattle the ball first on offense. Normally a strong-starting group, Seattle went three-and-out after Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a bobble on 3rd down and didn’t make the catch until he was out of bounds. Lamar Jackson got one first down to Mark

Andrews, but a false start just about put them behind schedule and the Ravens punted it back.

Look at what Big Cat did to Ronnie Stanley

Geno Smith got one first down to Tyler Lockett, but a 3rd down bat down by former Seahawk Jadeveon Clowney had Pete Carroll punting in Baltimore territory. Backed up at their own 5, the Ravens had an instant 3-and-out. Once again the Seahawks had a first down to Lockett, but the

drive stalled after two penalties on Jason Peters, one of which was declined because Geno got sacked anyway.

The Ravens finally got a drive going into Seahawks territory, with Lamar throwing short passes to his tight ends Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews, as well as Odell Beckham Jr.

2nd Quarter

Gus Edwards, who had a hat trick of touchdowns last week, waltzed into the end zone from 5 yards out to cap off a 12-play, 81-yard drive.

Geno Smith’s interception woes continued with an overthrown ball intended for Tyler Lockett. It went into the hands of Geno Stone, with his league-leading sixth interception of the season.

Lamar Jackson evaded Boye Mafe for a 23-yard gain because he’s just simply Lamar Jackson. Couldn’t do it a second time, though! Mafe with the strip-sack, and Seattle with the recovery!

Seattle went three-and-out, with a sack included. The Ravens responded with an 81-yard drive that was just almost nothing but positive plays. Gus Edwards capped off the drive with his second touchdown, as the Ravens soared past 200 yards of offense.

Hey! Offense! DK Metcalf got open on a 50-yard crosser off of play-action, as Geno Smith hit him in stride and he took off on a big catch-and-run all the way to Baltimore’s 25. Zach Charbonnet got a 2nd and 3 carry inside the Ravens’ 15. Of course, this is Seattle in the red zone so they

settled for a field goal.

First catch of the day for @dkm14!

FUMBLE! Odell Beckham Jr sloppily handled the ball on a catch, and Tre Brown ended up busting it loose. Bobby Wagner was there for the recovery! What was Beckham doing?!

Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports

...And then this happened.

Justin Tucker made it 17-3 before the half after that latest Geno turnover.

3rd Quarter

Gus Edwards broke through a Devon Witherspoon and Riq Woolen tackle to gain 42 yards to start the 2nd half. Seattle’s defense stiffened up well enough to force another Tucker field goal to extend the lead.

The Seahawks, of course, went three-and-out. No one open, offensive line overmatched, you get the drill. Baltimore had a three-and-out of their own, so it seemed, but the Ravens went for it on 4th and 1 at their own 48... Dre’Mont Jones jumped offside. Then on 3rd and 18, Mark

Andrews gained 17 yards, allowing them to go for it and convert with Lamar. Into field goal range they went, and Justin Tucker extended the lead from 31.

After another useless drive, the Ravens got it back and Keaton Mitchell slammed the door shut with a 40-yard score. The rookie raced past everyone.

4th Quarter

Not even sure what’s the point of writing the recap anymore. The Ravens kept shutting the offense down. Tyler Huntley came on and he led a TD drive, finished off by an Odell Beckham Jr score.

Seahawks’ DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett Week 9 injury updates a boon for Geno Smith

Story by Angelo Guinhawa

Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks got some massive injury boost ahead of their Week 9 game against the Baltimore Ravens after both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett were removed from the team’s final injury report on Friday.

Metcalf has been dealing with a hip injury that forced him to miss their Week 7 game against the Arizona Cardinals. While he was able to play in Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns, the injury has kept bothering Metcalf and even limited him in practice heading to the Ravens showdown.

Fortunately, it seems he’s healthy enough to take the field once again come Sunday, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

As for Lockett, the 31-year-old wideout hasn’t missed a game so far this 2023 campaign. However, he has had absences during practices for three straight weeks now due to a hamstring issue. While it’s clear that Lockett has more work to do to get to 100 percent health, it doesn’t seem

his injury is severe enough to keep him sidelined.

Having both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett active against the Ravens is certainly crucial for Geno Smith. After all, the two are some of his favorite weapons. Metcalf has already tallied 27 receptions for 404 yards and two touchdowns this campaign, while Lockett has already recorded 35

catches for 370 yards and three touchdowns–with the latest coming against the Browns as the Seahawks took the 24-20 victory.

With the Ravens also getting an injury boost of their own with Odell Beckham Jr. expected to play despite his shoulder injury, the active status of both Metcalf and Lockett couldn’t have come at a better time.

THROWBACK MAGIC

Seahawks acquire Leonard Williams in huge trade with Giants

Story by Ryan Bologna

The Seattle Seahawks are reportedly acquiring interior defensive lineman Leonard Williams in a trade with the New York Giants in exchange for a 2024 second-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

This is a massive trade for the Seahawks, as Leonard Williams will bolster their defensive line against the run and the pass. The Giants are clearly taking a the long-term view with this trade as they get two draft picks in return after falling to 2-6 with a loss to the New York Jets on Sunday.

The Seahawks moved to 5-2 after a win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday and moved into first place in the NFC West after the division rival San Francisco 49ers fell to the Cincinnati Bengals. The Seahawks are obviously trying to strike while the iron is hot. They are following up their

surprising trip to the playoffs last season with what seems to be another successful year already.

The Giants have fallen back to earth after making the playoffs last season. Williams was a big part of what is arguably the team’s biggest strength. However, he was likely going to depart in the offseason regardless. With the Giants sitting at 2-6, this is a no-brainer move, especially

getting a second-round pick back.

New York also has a lot of money tied up in the interior defensive line anyway after signing Dexter Lawrence this offseason, who is arguably the best nose tackle in the league.

The deal makes sense for both sides, as the Seahawks try to win now and the Giants try to build toward the future.

Fight On, @uscfb!

This wasn’t shown on TV @TDLockett12

By Mookie Alexander@mookiealexander

The Seattle Seahawks (5-2) lead the NFC West in the most dramatic way possible.

It was a fast start, a brutal middle, but a great close for Geno Smith and the Seahawks offense. On Throwback Day, Smith led a game-winning drive culminating in a screen pass touchdown Jaxon Smith-Njigba with :38 left to send Seattle to a 24-20 win over the Cleveland Browns (4-3).

The Seahawks raced out to a 14-0 lead, fell behind 20-17 after some shaky defense, shakier officiating, and wildly ineffective offense. PJ Walker threw two interceptions and lost a fumble but was valiant in defeat, as the Browns rushing attack had plenty of success against Seattle’s front.

Geno threw two interceptions that took away potential points for the Seahawks and gave Cleveland a field goal at the other end. He looked frazzled and was off-target on some makable throws. But with the game on the line, he picked a hell of a time to get in a rhythm and crack the

tough code that is the Browns defense. We must also shoutout the Seahawks OL for limiting Cleveland to just one sack (by Myles Garrett, of course).

For all of the issues on defense in the 1st half, the 2nd half saw the Browns limited to just two field goals, which gave the Seahawks a fighting chance in the end. They came through big time with a tip-drill interception by Julian Love off a Jamal Adams head deflection.

With the Cincinnati Bengals beating the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara, the Seahawks now LEAD the NFC West heading into November!

1st Quarter

The Browns got the ball first after Seattle deferred to the 2nd half. It was a swift three-and-out for PJ Walker and company, who were stymied on a 3rd and 2 run play with Jerome Ford. Geno Smith converted the first 3rd down of the game to Tyler Lockett to the 40, and then Kenneth

Walker took off for a 45-yard run into the red zone.

Tyler Lockett’s 3rd catch of the drive resulted in a 1st and goal at the 2, as Geno avoided Myles Garrett and scrambled to find Tyler. On the next play, Jake Bobo took the jet sweep into the end zone! Yes, Jake Bobo!

Kenneth Walker Catch & Run Leads to Bobo Touchdown

After a 20-yard throw to Amari Cooper, Cleveland got into Seahawks territory. Two plays later, Jordyn Brooks came on a blitz and wrecked PJ Walker for the strip sack. Boye Mafe on the recovery for the first turnover at home all season!

The Seahawks got a 20-yard pass play to Tyler Lockett, and after a loss of 5 on an end-around with Dee Eskridge, Geno found Jaxon Smith-Njigba on a 19-yard screen pass to set up 1st and goal. On 3rd and goal, Smith evaded pressure from Myles Garrett and Za’Darius Smith,

scrambled and found Lockett in the back of the end zone! DIME!

Cleveland responded with three straight screen plays that all worked. The first was to Kareem Hunt for 12, then Pierre Strong for 41, and then David Njoku for 18 and the touchdown. What a sequence for the Browns.

Geno Smith unleashed a deep ball to DK Metcalf into Cleveland territory. Perfect throw beating Martin Emerson Jr for 43 yards. The drive stalled from there but Jason Myers was perfect from 32.

Many more to go for @Bwagz.

I love that Bobby Wagner is back on the Seahawks

A Throwback mic'd up with @Bwagz.

D.K. Metcalf Big Catch

2nd Quarter

The Browns offense moved it into the red zone again behind an effective rushing attack and the presence of Amari Cooper. Creative playcalling had Seattle out of sorts. On 3rd down, Walker had pressure in his face and missed an open David Njoku, and instead found Riq Woolen. Then

Njoku knocked the ball loose and recovered it, but evidently he touched Woolen’s helmet before forcing the fumble.

Seattle went three-and-out and found themselves on defense again. Cleveland had 4th and 2 inside the Seahawks 40, and Woolen broke up a pass intended for Amari Cooper. However, the officials ruled it as defensive pass interference. Walker absorbed a vicious helmet shot by Mario

Edwards Jr to still find an open Amari Cooper all the way to the 2-yard line. The penalty advanced them another yard. Kareem Hunt walked in two plays later.

Another three-and-out by the Seahawks was caused by a hand to the face penalty on Damien Lewis, negating a first-down conversion by Tyler Lockett and putting Seattle well behind the sticks. The Browns gave the ball back after a 3rd down sack by Boye Mafe.

On the two-minute drill, Geno hit Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba for quality gains, mixed in with a big run by Zach Charbonnet. A misfire by Geno to Metcalf, followed by a stuffed Charbonnet run on 3rd and 2 led to an interesting decision on 4th and 2 in field goal range. They went

for it and converted to DK Metcalf. The next play was picked by Martin Emerson Jr on a pass intended for DK. Looks like this play shouldn’t have counted for Cleveland!

Pete Carroll livid after no call on Geno Smith interception

The Seahawks were driving until Geno Smith threw an interception on 1st & 10 at the Cleveland 27, but Carroll was livid about an uncalled neutral zone infraction

Photo by Jane Gershovich/Getty Images

After the interception Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll was seen on the sidelines livid and lighting up the refs about something, but exactly what could not be discerned. Looking at the replay, however, it appears what had Carroll irked to end the first half should have been readily

apparent, especially to the refs.

The right defensive end for the Browns, Myles Garrett, was clearly lined up in the neutral zone at the time of the snap, meaning the interception should not have counted as it should have been a free play. It’s in the books now, as the teams take the field for the second half, but it won’t

be a surprise if this is one of the plays that the Seahawks bring to the attention of the league office this week when it comes to the referees.

That's the most of any player since 2022, surpassing Tom Brady and Matt Ryan.

3rd Quarter

Seattle gained 9 yards out of halftime, only to go with a 3rd-and-1 play-action shot on a two-man route. No one was open and Geno threw it away.

Cleveland got out of bad field position with a 41-yard screen pass to TE David Njoku, who caught the touchdown and broke free into Seahawks territory. PJ Walker was confident, composed, and making throws to open receivers and had the Browns in the red zone. Seattle’s defense

stiffened up and held the Browns to a tying field goal by Dustin Hopkins.

Big man Maurice Hurst picked off Geno Smith spectacularly with an impressive athletic play. He tipped away a pass intended for Noah Fant, reeled it in on his own for the grab. Not a good decision by Geno but tip your cap on the pick.

Cleveland was held to another field goal after a terrific PBU by Tre Brown, who had tight coverage on Amari Cooper. Hopkins converted from 27 yards away.

Another three-and-out by the Seahawks could’ve been much worse. JSN stopped his route and Geno should’ve been pick-6’d by Cameron Mitchell, but he dropped it. No worries, as the Browns again kept marching it down the field with timely 3rd down conversions and effective running.

4th Quarter

On 3rd and 4 at Seattle’s 40, PJ Walker skipped a pass short of an open receiver, resulting in a punt to the 11. Finally the Seahawks offense, which had no first downs in the 3rd quarter, sustained something. Zach Charbonnet had two explosive runs and a short reception to help get the

Seahawks into Browns territory. On 3rd and 10 at the 40, Geno got sacked by Myles Garrett. This was avoidable if not for a false start on Will Dissly and a misfire to DK Metcalf.

Another 3rd down stop by the Seahawks defense was nullified by penalty. Hands to the face on Riq Woolen extended the series for the Browns with 3:30 to go. On the next 3rd down with 2:04 left and only two timeouts remaining, a Jamal Adams deflection led to an interception by Julian

Love! A crazy deflection!

Geno Smith had one last shot at redemption with just under two minutes to go and the ball at Seattle’s 43. A short throw to Lockett on the crosser to midfield. DK to the Cleveland 41. Noah Fant to the 14 with 1:10 to go! End zone throw to DK incomplete with :44 left. A 12 man penalty

on defense with the snap imminent put Seattle at the 9. Jaxon Smith-Njigba on the screen! TOUCHDOWN!!!!!

Riq Woolen dropped the game-ending pick as Walker was hit by Dre’Mont Jones. A 2nd and 10 throw fell incomplete with :28 to go. SACK by Darrell Taylor! 4th and ballgame, INCOMPLETE!!!

Geno Smith to JSN for the game-winning score!

JAMAL ADAMS’ HEADY PLAY On third and 3 for Cleveland (4-3) just before the 2-minute warning, Adams blitzed from his safety position for one of the few times Sunday. Fill-in quarterback P.J. Walker’s pass banged hard off the leaping Adams’ helmet down the field and into the arms of

Seahawks teammate Julian Love for an interception at the Seattle 43 with 1:57 left. Adams said he wasn’t trying to have the ball his his head. That’s just where his leap took him, into the ball. His fellow defensive backs behind him couldn’t believe how high the ball bounded off Adams’

noggin. “It was like in a movie. It was like it was slow motion,” cornerback Riq Woolen said.

Seahawks weapons Kenneth Walker, Tyler Lockett’s availability vs. Browns in question

Story by Jay Postrado

Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks have gotten their groove after they dismantled the Arizona Cardinals. But, they might be missing some key weapons that Geno Smith loves to utilize in their showdown against the Cleveland Browns. Kenneth Walker and Tyler Lockett’s availability is

in question. This latest update on them could prove to be a huge blow to the Seahawks’ rotation.

Geno Smith’s most reliable weapons Kenneth Walker and Tyler Lockett did not practice for the second straight day, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Walker is currently nursing an injured calf which might sideline him from Pete Carroll’s rotation in their matchup against the Browns. Lockett, on

the other hand, is trying to get better from a hamstring injury which could also disallow him from playing.

There is no final roster for the Seahawks yet before their weekend game. But, if both of these players become unavailable, there will be huge shoes to fill. For instance, Walker carried the team’s rushing game against the Cardinals. He notched 26 carries which gave him 105 rushing yards

to help seal the win. Lockett was also one of the most astounding receivers in their win. His four receptions along with 38 receiving yards and 9.5 average yardage per catch.

The Browns got into a shootout against the Indianapolis Colts in their last matchup. This means that they are more than ready to keep throwing the ball and maintain their high yards-per-play average against the Seahawks. Will Pete Carroll be able to get the right adjustments en route

to a five-win record?

It has come full circle.

How good has Devon Witherspoon been in his Seahawks debut?

Bobby Wagner has no comp Big hits and big plays are showing why Pete Carroll and Seattle spent the 5th pick in this year’s NFL draft on Witherspoon.

NFL Fans Are Obsessed With The Seahawks' Throwback Uniforms

© Provided by The Spun

The Seattle Seahawks take on the Cleveland Browns this weekend and will be wearing some of their old throwback uniforms to mark the occasion.

It was announced back in June that the Seahawks would be wearing their throwback uniform, which calls back to the 1990s when the colors were a little bit brighter than they are now.

Ahead of their game against the Browns this Sunday though, the Seahawks are already practicing while wearing them. They've even overhauled their website to pay homage to them.

Fans are simply in love with the Seahawks' throwback uniform. Many are saying that it might be the best throwback uniform in the entire league:

Success was hard to come by for the Seahawks during their throwback days though. They made the playoffs a grand total of five times in their first 26 seasons before switching to the jerseys they have now.

The 1990s were downright dreadful as the team enjoyed only two winning seasons and one playoff before the turn of the century.

Fans may be fond of the old uniforms, but they're probably not quite as fond of what the team did while wearing them.

Seahawks honoring the retiring Larry Stone today. Cool move by the team.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll gives huge DK Metcalf injury update after missing Cardinals game

Story by Andrew Meyers

DK Metcalf missed the first game of his NFL career last week when the Seattle Seahawks hosted the Arizona Cardinals. The fifth-year wide receiver doesn’t plan on missing another game and returned to practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday as he battles a hip injury, according to

Bob Condotta.

Metcalf tried to give it a go last week but ended up sitting out. The Seahawks emerged victorious without their top receiver, improving to 4-2 with a 20-10 win.

Metcalf averaged over 67 years per game in the first five games of the season. He scored two touchdowns and totaled 337 yards on 22 receptions. Thanks in large part to Metcalf, the Seahawks rank in the top half of the NFL in total offense, passing offense and total points through seven weeks.

The Seahawks have one of the deepest wide receiver rooms in the league. Seven different Seattle players caught a pass last Sunday and undrafted Jake Bobo scored a touchdown in Metcalf’s absence.

There are few pass-catchers who’ve been as consistent as DK Metcalf over the past few seasons. The one-time Pro Bowl selection averaged over 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns a season during his first four years in the NFL. He’s on pace for a third 1,000-yard season and seems willing

to play through injury to get there.

Seattle would probably like to see Metcalf log a full practice before re-inserting him into the lineup, but he’s on track to play Sunday. He’ll have three more days to get as healthy as possible before the Seahawks make an official decision.

SEAHAWKS WIN!

Another Home Dub.

Came Back Home and got the Dub!

By Mookie Alexander@mookiealexander

The Seattle Seahawks (4-2) and Arizona Cardinals (1-5) typically play bizarre games, and this one was no exception.

Geno Smith threw two touchdowns in the 1st half, then committed two turnovers in the 2nd half, while the Seahawks defense held the Cardinals offense to just 3 points scored off of a trio of turnovers. Some questionable officiating undid a pair of great Devon Witherspoon plays, and we

had special teams nonsense happen on both teams.

In the end, the Seahawks win it 20-10 and have their first division win on the year. Jaxon Smith-Njigba scored his first NFL touchdown, while Jake Bobo had a Catch of the Year contender with his toe-drag swag TD that gave Seattle the lead for good. Kenneth Walker rushed for over 100

yards for the first time on the season, while on the defensive side of the ball the pass rush got to Josh Dobbs four times.

More Bobo W

JAKE BOBO WITH A SEAHAWKS TOUCHDOWN!!

Seahawks Jaxon Smith-Njigba 1st NFL TD

Seahawks Jake Bobo TD vs. Arizona

1st Quarter

The Cardinals got the ball on offense first and with great field position after Jason Myers booted the opening kickoff out of bounds. Josh Dobbs got one first down on a read-option keeper, making Jamal Adams miss in the open field. Adams recorded consecutive quality tackles to set up a

3rd and 5 for the Cardinals, who lined up illegally and didn’t complete the pass anyway.

Drop the #MoreBobo

@jaxon_smith1

Backed up at their own 8, the Seahawks offense got out of a jam with a 32-yard 3rd down completion to Jake Bobo. A sack by Zaven Collins on a fake toss by Geno pretty much killed the drive, but Michael Dickson and the coverage team pinned Arizona at the 13. Josh Dobbs hit a rapid-

fire three-and-out and Seattle got the ball back at their own 39. Kenneth Walker had a huge run inside Arizona’s 30 with a sweet lateral cut to the outside. On the next play, Jaxon Smith-Njigba was wide open as possible for his first NFL touchdown!

Arizona again did nothing on offense, but got a gift when DeeJay Dallas fumbled the punt return and the Cardinals recovered at the Seattle 32. Former Seahawks safety Joey Blount with the strip, Dennis Gardeck with the recovery.

Pete Carroll challenged a 3rd down completed pass to rookie running back Emari Demercado. Julian Love forced a fumble, which Marquise Brown recovered a yard short of the line to gain. Carroll wanted the call to be overturned to incomplete, and his wish was granted. Matt Prater

booted one through the uprights to cut the deficit to 7-3.

Seattle wrapped up the quarter with a successful screen pass. Your eyes are not deceiving you! JSN was open, and Jake Bobo sprung the key block to make the first down and beyond.

2nd Quarter

Seattle stalled out and was fortunate not to have Kyzir White intercept Geno Smith on a 3rd and 2. Arizona finally got something going with a big run by Demercado into Seahawks territory. Josh Dobbs was picked by Devon Witherspoon in the end zone, but after a long discussion, a

whole lot of nonsense happened. Boye Mafe had a weak roughing the passer call against him to negate the pick, then Jordyn Brooks got into it with Cardinals OL DJ Humphries, who in trying to hit him back got a penalty and ejection for contacting an official. Arizona had 1st and goal

from the 25, but no problem! Touchdown Josh Dobbs on a zone-read keeper after horrible tackling.

Cardinals Tackle DJ Humphries Hit With Absurd Ejection For Hitting Referee

© Provided by Sports Illustrated

A heated exchange during Sunday’s Cardinals-Seahawks game unexpectedly cost Arizona its starting left tackle after D.J. Humphries unintentionally made contact with an official.

Humphries was ejected from the contest early in the second quarter following an altercation with Seahawks linebacker Jordyn Brooks after a play. As the players exchanged words, Brooks took a swipe at Humphries’s helmet with down judge Brian Sakowski attempting to break up the scrum.

The veteran offensive lineman’s push inadvertently sent Brooks’s arm into Sakowski’s head, resulting in an unnecessary roughness penalty and the subsequent ejection.

With Humphries headed to the locker room, the Cardinals turned to LT Kelvin Beachum to fill the void.

Considering the penalty, it’s likely Humphries will face the possibility of a fine from the NFL next week, despite the awkward smack appeared to be an accident.

The Cardinals currently trail the Seahawks, 17–10, in the third quarter.

Devon Witherspoon, everybody.

Devon Witherspoon’s Big Hit💥 Vs Cardinals.

You know the drill.

The Seahawks answered back with a pass-heavy series, including back-to-back first-down receptions for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and back-to-back 3rd down conversions to Tyler Lockett to put Seattle in the dreaded red zone. A lob to the back of the end zone to Jake Bobo... ruled

incomplete! He caught it, but the second foot was ruled out of bounds. Pete Carroll challenged it. OVERTURNED INTO A TOUCHDOWN!!! WHAT A PLAY!!

The Cardinals were on the move into field goal range when it all went wrong for them. A holding penalty on left tackle Kelvin Beachum backed them up 10 yards, and on 3rd down Boye Mafe sacked Dobbs out of field goal range. A false start before a Hail Mary dropped them even further

back to midfield. The end zone heave was incomplete.

3rd Quarter

The Seahawks’ aerial attack led the team down the field to begin the 2nd half. Geno Smith was throwing dimes to Noah Fant and Colby Parkinson, and he twice scrambled for 3rd down conversions. However, faced with 1st and goal at the 1, the Seahawks were stuffed twice on Ken

Walker runs, and then Geno’s throw to Parkinson was caught but tackled short of the end zone. Annoyingly, Myers had to come out and kick (and make) a chippy.

Arizona went three-and-out after a terrific 3rd down sack by Jordyn Brooks to deny Josh Dobbs on the rollout. DeeJay Dallas atoned for his lost fumble by spinning out of a tackle and getting a 32-yard punt return to Arizona’s 34.

Seattle wasted this drive when Geno threw a bad 3rd down interception to rookie Garrett Williams at the 1-yard line.

4th Quarter

The Cardinals did nothing with the turnover, getting just one first down before punting. They got it right back after Geno fumbled a seemingly clean snap from Olu Oluwatimi and the Cardinals recovered inside the Seahawks’ 40. Arizona got into the red zone and then they had a bad, high

shotgun snap that dribbled backwards. Dobbs recovered it but took a 14-yard loss. They didn’t recover from this and had to settle for a field goal, which Matt Prater shanked from 34 out!

After a Seahawks three-and-out, Arizona drove the ball into Seattle territory but a Zach Ertc drop killed the drive. Or so it seemed. They lined up in punt formation, then backup QB Clayton Tune came in and threw a pass to Michael Wilson for... 4 yards. On 4th and 9. Turnover on downs!

It was clock-killing mode for the Seahawks, who forced Arizona to burn timeouts but Seattle twice stopped the clock twice with a drop by JSN and Walker running out of bounds. Jason Myers was thankfully there to make it from 48.

Arizona again reached Seahawks territory but found themselves out of it after a sack by Darrell Taylor. One more sack shared by Taylor and Jarran Reed was curtains for Arizona’s offense.

Story by DianeTaylor

The Seattle Seahawks are getting prepared to take on the Arizona Cardinals, and Pete Carroll took to the podium on Wednesday to field some questions before practice. He provided a variety of injury updates and even shared a few observations of note. Interestingly enough, Carroll

detailed how this Cardinals team is much different from the one that they have faced in recent years, from the coaching staff to the personnel.

As expected, Carroll fielded a question about DK Metcalf and the recent talk around his weekly (and costly) penalties. Obviously, Carroll is taking the reasonable reaction here... which is not to have one. DK is a competitor, and he is also an adult. He will make the change.

Pete Carroll on DK Metcalf's penalties for Seahawks: "We all have to acknowledge it...He knows he's got to clean it up. "He's got to get it done." (This may be a recording)

One of the biggest injury updates had to do with the team’s recovering right tackle, Abe Lucas. Unfortunately, the Seattle Seahawks are likely to be without Lucas for at least this game and possibly longer.

The news for backup tackle Jake Curhan — who is similarly afflicted with a nagging injury of his own — is more encouraging, as he did at least participate in walkthroughs.

As a follow up on this note, you may remember that Seahawks legend Jason Peters has been dealing with an injury recently, as well. While he would likely be seeing snaps at guard if healthy, his experience at tackle would have been a plus given the injuries to both Lucas and Curhan.

Unfortunately, it sounds like he suffered a setback.

The update on corner Coby Bryant is similarly not wonderful, but he doesn’t need surgery, so it could be worse. As was reported recently, the team placed him on IR, keeping him out until at least Week 10. The audio is a bit hard to hear below, but basically Pete says that the toe injury

that Bryant is currently dealing with is similar to the one that he dealt with previously (I assume he means over the summer), which took a bit of time to return from. For the record, the previous injury was reported in early June, and Bryant was ready to go when the team opened camp

in late July. This means that if he is on a similar timeline, he could realistically return as soon as he is eligible, which would be for the Washington Commanders game.

On a positive note, Pete Carroll did take some time to reflect on the breakout campaign the Boye Mafe seems to be putting together. He has a sack in three straight games after missing the Detroit Lions contest and generally looks much improved following a quiet but encouraging rookie

season. According to Pro Football Focus, Mafe is the 15th highest graded Edge defender against the run, and 22nd overall among players with at least 100 snaps.

Tom Brady ‘doesn't understand' why NFL refs flagged DK Metcalf after Seahawks WR's altercation with Bengals' Cam Taylor-Britt

Story by LaDarius Brown

DK Metcalf is known for his passion while on the field but found himself on the wrong end of an unsportsmanlike penalty in Week 6. The Seattle Seahawks' star wide receiver shoved the Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Cam Taylor-Britt, leading to the penalty and a likely fine from the

league.

One person who seems to be on the side of Metcalf is NFL legend Tom Brady. He questioned the penalty on a recent episode of the "Let's Go" podcast. Brady said he didn't understand why the officials threw the flag on that play:

"I would actually like to see less violations called. Focus on the important ones and let some things go. I saw DK Metcalf got penalized for unnecessary roughness. I don't know if that's unnecessary or not, but all I know is that the defender's got every right to push back on

DK, but he doesn't do it. So DK throws them on the ground."

Brady added:

"They throw a flag. I'm like, I don't understand what the flag is. This is football. This isn't touch football, this is real football. I think the physicality, which people really enjoy, I certainly enjoyed. I don't think we should ever lose that."

DK Metcalf had four receptions for 69 yards in the Seahawks 17-13 loss to the Bengals in Week 6. He was targeted 10 times in the game by quarterback Geno Smith, the most in any game this season. Metcalf left the game in the third quarter with a hip injury but came back into the game.

The penalty called against Metcalf in Week 6 is a pattern that both Seattle fans and coach Pete Carroll have seen time and again. This season, he had four penalties against him in five games, the most by any player at his position.

Last season saw Metcalf get eight penalties, seven of which were accepted. That was also the most of any wide receiver in the NFL. DK Metcalf is on pace this season to surpass that mark from the 2022 season.

In 2021, he was flagged and ejected from a game against the Green Bay Packers for getting into an altercation. We'll see if the 25-year-old can minimize the flags against him this season.

Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba will love Pete Carroll’s encouraging take about rookie’s play vs Bengals

Story by Poch de la Rosa

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll loved rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s performance against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. Carroll promptly sang the latter’s praises in his 710 AM radio show on Monday, per ESPN’s Brady Henderson.

“I thought he played a terrific game, by far his best game,” Pete Carroll mused.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba recorded a season-high 48 receiving yards on four receptions against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. He recorded a third-down conversion after catching a pass from Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith early in the first quarter on Sunday.

Not only that, but Jaxon Smith-Njigba also played a season-high 53 snaps in Week 6. The return of left tackle Charles Cross may have something to do with that. With Cross protecting Smith’s blind side, the Seahawks typically rely on a three-wide receiver set.

Despite Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s best efforts, the Seahawks lost to the Bengals 17-13 in Week 6. Cam Taylor-Britt’s exceptional defense on Seattle wide receiver DK Metcalf was one of the reasons behind the loss. Tayl0r-Britt picked off Geno Smith’s pass while covering Metcalf early in the fourth quarter. That key play

resulted in a field goal that preserved the Bengals’ four-point win. On the other hand, the Seahawks suffered their second loss in five games.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba: one of Pete Carroll’s weapons on offense

Jaxon Smith-Njigba played with CJ Stroud and Marvin Harrison, Jr. at Ohio State football last season. The Seahawks made the 2021 Third-Team All American the 20th overall selection of the 2023 NFL Draft this past April.

It seemed Smith-Njigba’s rookie season was going to be derailed after he underwent wrist surgery in late August. Fortunately, he recovered in time to make his NFL debut against the Los Angeles Rams two weeks later.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba is part of an impressive Seahawks receiving corps that includes DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Noah Fant. Smith-Njigba figures to become a bigger part of Pete Carroll’s offense in subsequent weeks after his breakout performance against the Bengals.

Yesterday marked five years since Tre Brown's mom, Beverley, passed away.

Seahawks had the win over Bengals

Smith had several opportunities in the red zone to take the lead late in the game, but was sacked nearly every time due to holding on the ball for far too long. Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III scored the team's only TD, rushing for 62 yards on 19 carries, including the score. Bengals QB Joe

Burrow finished the match with 185 passing yards on 24-for-35 completions with two touchdowns and one interception. Seahawks now head back home to host the Arizona Cardinals

DK Metcalf takes blame away from Geno Smith over crucial INT that doomed Seahawks

Story by Jimmy Wright

Two interceptions from QB Geno Smith in the second half helped sink the Seattle Seahawks as they lost 17-13 to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. After the game, Smith was quick to accept blame for the loss and the offense’s poor play.

Not so fast, said wide receiver DK Metcalf.

Breaking down Smith’s second interception, Metcalf absolved his quarterback from responsibility. “That was my fault,” the wideout told reporters after the game, per The Athletic’s Michael-Shawn Dugar. “That was not on Geno or anybody else. Solely my fault.”

Metcalf admitted to breaking off his route early, since he felt Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt undercutting him. Metcalf was going into “scramble mode” when Smith released the throw, which was subsequently picked off by a diving Taylor-Britt.

For his part, Smith blamed no one but himself after the painful loss, which dropped the Seahawks to 3-2. “That’s on me…didn’t do the right thing on that play,” per Dugar.

Looking beyond a single play, Smith was clearly not happy with the way the game went as a whole. “Those are things that are not characteristic of the way I’ve been playing and I know that I can be a lot better. I need to look myself in the mirror and figure those things out, so I will.”

What makes the loss even more painful for Smith and the Seahawks is that it came against a struggling Bengals offense. Joe Burrow had another flat outing, opening the door for the Seahawks to steal a road win. More importantly, Seattle missed the chance to gain ground in the NFC West on a day that the San

Francisco 49ers lost to the Cleveland Browns.

The good news for Seahawks fans is that players on the team hold themselves accountable first, and don’t point fingers. That seemingly bodes well as the team looks to get back into the win column at home against the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday.

Final from Cincinnati.

Cam Taylor-Britt breaks up a potential touchdown pass

By Mookie Alexander@mookiealexander

The Seattle Seahawks (3-2) should’ve beaten the Cincinnati Bengals (3-3), but the offense was highly culpable for their failures to finish drives in the red zone.

Geno Smith threw two interceptions, took multiple untimely sacks, and the red zone offense only managed 10 points in 5 trips. The opening drive touchdown that looked so promising gave way to a disjointed performance and a 17-13 loss to Joe Burrow and company.

Seattle’s defense allowed 14 points on the first two drives, but locked the Bengals offense down and limited them to just a field goal the rest of the way (on a 0-yard drive). The Seahawks’ three-game winning streak is over, and there are huge concerns about this offense moving forward as it pertains to their red zone struggles.

Seahawks OT Charles Cross Return

1st Quarter

Seattle got off to a perfect start. Geno Smith was 5/5 for 51 yards, including a 3rd down conversion to Jaxon Smith-Njigba to keep the drive moving. After a defensive pass interference in the end zone, Kenneth Walker got the ball at the 1-yard line and sauntered in for six. An 11-play, 75-yard drive to open the day!

The Bengals responded with their own long drive in the form of a 13-play, 69-yard drive that ended in an 8-yard Joe Burrow touchdown pass on the slant to Tyler Boyd, who beat Riq Woolen. What was pivotal on this drive was a 4th and 2 offsides penalty on Jarran Reed, which might have been just a hard count

attempt and not a real effort to go for it.

2nd Quarter

Seattle ended their opening quarter with a three-and-out, while the Bengals just marched down the field with Ja’Marr Chase racking up big catches and putting Cincinnati in the red zone. Rookie Andrei Iosivas capped things off with a 3-yard touchdown for his first NFL score, again with Woolen beaten.

The Seahawks had a promising drive end in Bengals territory after Geno was sacked on 3rd and long. DK Metcalf was wide open a couple of plays prior for a touchdown, but Smith didn’t throw his way. Metcalf was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on that same series for shoving Cam Taylor-Britt, but

Geno got them out of a 2nd and 21 jam with a deep pass to Tyler Lockett. For once, the Seahawks defense was able to hold Cincinnati to a short drive and their first punt.

Seattle had a pretty peculiar four-minute drill with more runs than you’d probably want to see, and then Geno was fortunate not to have a 3rd and 11 prayer intercepted. Jason Myers drilled his 55-yard field goal through the uprights.

Cincinnati’s one-minute drill went three-and-out, as Burrow threw two incomplete passes in Riq Woolen’s direction, and his improvised scramble drill play to avoid getting sacked ended in a short completion nowhere near the sticks. Geno got sacked to round out the opening 30 minutes.

Unfortunately, the Seahawks gave it right back. They had goal-to-go inside the 5 and then Ken Walker committed a low block penalty on 2nd and goal. The next snap was a Geno pick to Mike Hilton. A heavily covered Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the intended receiver.

Joe Burrow got one conversion to Tee Higgins, but that was as good as it got. Jarran Reed and Dre’Mont Jones both recorded sacks to force a punt. DeeJay Dallas sprung free for a 23-yard punt return into Bengals territory.

Jake Bobo made a huge play to set up a goal-to-go situation for the Seahawks. Geno found him open for 20 yards, then Dax Hill was flagged for a roughness penalty that saw Bobo go to the tent for a concussion check. Seattle’s red zone struggles continued, however, as Kenneth Walker was stuffed twice and then

Geno threw incomplete to Lockett. Jason Myers hit a 23-yard field goal to pull Seattle within 1.

4th Quarter

With 3rd and 1 at their own 45, the Bengals went power-heavy and ran it into the teeth of Seattle’s defense. Bad idea! Jordyn Brooks and Dre’Mont Jones were there to stymie Joe Mixon and prompt another Bengals punt.

After a big first down over the middle to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Geno Smith threw a pick to Cam Taylor-Britt, who returned it into Seahawks territory. DK Metcalf straight up stopped his route. Bad mistake by Metcalf on the miscommunication, but the Bengals offense gained 0 yards and settled for a 52-yard field goal,

which Evan McPherson nailed with 11:52 to go.

WHAT A GRAB BY TYLER!

Joseph Maiorana-USA TODAY Sports

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith struggled against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6.

Geno Smith was gifted a roughing the passer call, but Ken Walker committed a drive-killing illegal block in the back on the next snap. Receivers were struggling to get open against Cincinnati’s secondary.

The defensive battle continued, as the Seahawks defense stepped up with a huge sack by Boye Mafe on Burrow. Jamal Adams made a clutch open field tackle on 3rd and 12 to get the ball back for the Seahawks with 6:17 left.

DK Metcalf got free for 30 yards into Bengals territory, and Geno scrambled to the red zone. On 3rd down, the Bengals blitzed but DK was open on the slant for the first-and-goal! Geno got sacked twice, including on 4th down.

Seattle still had two timeouts left and the two-minute warning, so another stop was needed. They got it with Tre Brown breaking up a 3rd and 6 deep shot to Tee Higgins, who committed OPI anyway. With 1:39 left and a timeout in hand, the Seahawks had another shot at redemption and the win.

Geno completed over the middle to Colby Parkinson for 8. An offside on Cincinnati gave them a free 5 and a first down. Tyler Lockett over the middle to the 10! Then Geno almost got picked in the end zone with :49 left. Ken Walker to the 8-yard line and a timeout called by the Bengals. Too high and incomplete on 3rd

down. 4th and ballgame with :41 left. Hit as he throws, incomplete.

Pete Carroll gets brutally honest on how ‘close’ Seahawks were to beating Bengals

Story by Benjamin Adducchio

Close, but no cigar. That’s the feeling Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll had following his team’s narrow 17-13 loss on Sunday to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Carroll lamented to the press how close his team was to victory, per reporter Bob Condotta on X (formerly Twitter). The Seahawks only trailed the Bengals four points after the first half, 14-10, and had several opportunities to turn things around come the second half. Unfortunately, they just couldn’t get their offense

going, particularly their passing attack.

The Seahawks outgained the Bengals in total yards. Geno Smith and Seattle also managed to get into the red zone four times in the second half, but they left with only three points on the scoreboard. They are now 3-2 on the season, and surely Carroll feels that his team should have had the victory Sunday.

Turnovers also proved costly for the team. Smith threw two interceptions in the game, despite 323 yards total in passing. He had no touchdowns. Seattle also struggled to run the ball, with Kenneth Walker III leading the way with only 62 yards on the ground. He did manage a rushing touchdown.

Seattle did get some good news on Sunday, though. The San Francisco 49ers also lost in a close game to the Cleveland Browns. The 49ers are now 5-1 on the season, so Seattle is within striking distance from them in the NFC West.

Seattle next plays the struggling Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, October 22. There’s no doubt that Pete Carroll is hoping for a much better feeling after that game. Cincinnati, meanwhile, moves to 3-3 with their win over the Seahawks. The Bengals play at San Francisco in two weeks, on October 29.

Seahawks stars Geno Smith, DK Metcalf’s final injury statuses in Week 6 vs. Bengals, revealed

Story by Zachary Weinberger

Seattle Seahawks fans are bound to have a sigh of relief as quarterback Geno Smith, wide receiver DK Metcalf, and offensive tackle Charles Cross are off the injury report according to NFL Networks’s Tom Pelissero.

This is very good news for the Seahawks which proved that the bye week helped key guys on the team to get healthy. Head coach Pete Carroll shares that same sentiment, per Seahawks.com writer John Boyle.

“We’re better than we were. There are some guys who are going to get a chance to jump back out, and it helps anybody that got banged up in the game,” Carroll said. “So we’re hoping this will be a really productive week for returning a few guys. So we’ll see how it goes.”

Progress in practice for Geno Smith and D.K. Metcalf

Smith, last year’s comeback player of the year, has led the Seahawks this season to a 3-1 record heading into this weekend as he’s thrown for 846 yards and eight touchdowns with only one interception. He was suffering from a knee injury that briefly took him out of their last game against the New York Giants on

Oct. 2. With all that time to rest, Carroll had the simple answer of “he’s fine” to the media last Monday even if he had a “questionable” injury tag.

As for Metcalf, the big-framed receiver has been dealing with a ribs injury all season and at points throughout practice this week, he was marked as “DNP.” Being off the injury report is a sign of progress moving forward as so far this season, he has collected 18 catches for 268 yards and two touchdowns.

Charles Cross returns following Week 1 injury

Helping to strengthen the offensive line, Cross being active for the game is key for the rush-centric game plan that Carroll and the Seahawks like to run. He hasn’t played since Week 1 where he sprained his toe in the win against the Detroit Lions, so Cross adds in run and pass protection for the squad. The 22-year-

old out of Mississippi State was drafted ninth overall in the 2022 draft and has been a foundation of the offensive line ever since.

Up next for the Seahawks is a tough test against the Cincinnati Bengals led by quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase who both are coming off of their season-best games. It’s safe to say that the Seahawks will have their hands full this Sunday.

Seahawks OT Charles Cross nearing return after Week 1 injury

Story by Nick Meyer

The Seattle Seahawks are hoping for the best in the injury department this weekend with the Cincinnati Bengals lying in wait in the Queen City. The inter-conference showdown could decide whether each team finds itself in first place or farther behind in the standings.

On Thursday, Seahawks QB Geno Smith updated the gathered media on his playing situation heading into the matchup against Joe Burrow and the Bengals. Fans across the league are wondering whether DK Metcalf’s boast on Devon Witherspoon vs. Ja’Marr Chase will come true or not.

Recently it was revealed that Coach Pete Carroll and Smith’s team are likely to witness a return from Charles Cross, the team’s hulking 6-foot-5, 311 pound offensive tackle this weekend.

Cross was taken in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He has played just one game this season and 18 for his career, starting all 18 of them. A native of Laurel, Mississippi, the former Mississippi State Bulldogs lineman would add consistency, strength, and versatility to the team’s offensive line in a matchup with

one of the hungriest and most fierce front sevens in the National Football League.

The Seahawks currently rank in the middle-of-the-pack on offense, but have key victories to their name including a road win over the Detroit Lions. Carroll’s team was able to outscore Dan Campbell’s Lions on the arm of Smith, in contrast to other times when the running game has carried the ‘Hawks.

If Cross is able to return, it will bolster a running attack that thrives on big plays, as well as a passing game that is able to flourish in clutch moments with Smith at the controls.

Seahawks’ Geno Smith provides concerning update on injuries despite positive practice status

Story by Nick Meyer

The Seattle Seahawks are one of the grittiest and most difficult to beat teams when they’re at full strength in the NFL. Recently quarterback Geno Smith and Coach Pete Carroll provided an update on Smith’s health that sound promising at first. As per usual, reading between the lines is important, especially when it

comes to the National Football League.

Recently, Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf issued a challenge to Ja’Marr Chase on behalf of the team’s impressive rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon that has fans talking. Carroll also dropped a massive injury update on safety Jamal Adams that could loom large moving forward.

On Thursday, Smith strode to the podium in an effort to update the gathered media on his current injury status. While Smith sounded upbeat, he also revealed that he is still working through some things and is not quite 100 percent just yet with his lack of commitment to playing this coming weekend.

Geno Smith, who briefly left the MNF game a week and a half ago, said he’s “progressively gotten better every day” this week, “and I assume that’ll continue.” That’s obviously positive, but it does imply he’s not yet 100%. Pete Carroll said earlier this week, “he’s fine.”

Carroll’s Seahawks may need the former West Virginia Mountaineers star at quarterback if they hope to keep pace with Joe Burrow, Chase and the Cincinnati Bengals. Last week the Bengals rediscovered their confidence against Arizona on the road, setting up a showdown in the Queen City this weekend.

With a 2-3 record on the season, the Bengals are just a game behind Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North.

The Seahawks meanwhile are a game and a half behind the first-place San Francisco 49ers, a team that has rolled to a 5-0 record early in the season.

To keep pace with San Francisco, the Seahawks will likely need to keep winning as Kyle Shanahan’s team shows few signs of slowing. Carroll’s team’s biggest advantage may reside in the ground game. The latest game prediction has the Seahawks winning on the strength of its vaunted running back duo of Zach

Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker III.

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf gives JaMarr Chase a Devon Witherspoon warning ahead of Week 6 matchup

Story by Eva Geitheim

The Seattle Seahawks are taking on the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend. The game will feature a top cornerback-wide receiver matchup between Hawks rookie corner Devon Witherspoon and Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase.

Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf is taking the side of Witherspoon in this matchup. Ahead of the game, Metcalf said, “It’ll be fun to watch Sunday but I think Spoon will get the best of him,” via Bob Condotta.

Facing Ja’Marr Chase will be the toughest test for Witherspoon so far in his young career. Chase and the Bengals offense started slow all year as quarterback Joe Burrow struggled with a calf injury. However, the Bengals finally got back on track last Sunday in a 34-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Chase went off versus the Cardinals, recording 15 receptions for 192 yards and three touchdowns. His performance came after he reminded everyone that he’s “always open” and earned him AFC Player of the Week honors.

Though Chase is one of the NFL’s most explosive receivers, Witherspoon has been impressive in his own right. The rookie currently has the second best odds to win the Defensive Rookie of the Year with +350 odds, per Fan Duel Sportsbook. He is only behind Eagles’ defensive tackle Jalen Carter who has -175 odds.

Devon Witherspoon had one of the best games of any rookie during the Seahawks’ Week 4 win over the New York Giants. The fifth overall pick recorded two sacks and a 97-yard pick six. While Chase will have the advantage in this matchup thanks to his experience, Witherspoon has proved he can keep up with the

third-year receiver.

Seahawks’ Pete Carroll drops massive Jamal Adams injury update following concussion

Seahawks’ Pete Carroll drops massive Jamal Adams injury update following concussion

Story by Zachary Weinberger

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said to the media Wednesday that defensive back Jamal Adams is out of concussion protocol according to The Seattle Times’ Bob Condotta.

For Jamal Adams, this has to be good news as his return after a year’s absence last Monday night against the New York Giants was spoiled as he took a knee to the helmet by quarterback Daniel Jones. He wouldn’t return to the game after playing nine snaps as he was ruled out with a concussion and has been in

protocol ever since.

The Seahawk was also in the news due to the aftermath of the notable play where he was seen yelling at the independent concussion doctor. There’s no doubt Adams was frustrated at the doctor, especially since he was eager to play after suffering a torn quadriceps tendon in the first game of the 2022 season.

Adams apologized to the doctor

He later apologized on social media and said that he appreciates the patience the doctor had on the sidelines of the game.

“First and foremost, I want to apologize to the OG. You did everything right when you realized I was concussed, I apologize for any negative energy I brought your way,” Adams said. “Watching the replay, I am thankful for your patience knowing I wasn’t myself in that moment.”

Pete Carroll spoke to the media earlier in the week about the situation and said people should cut Adams some slack after the incident according to ESPN’s Brady Henderson.

“Yeah, he got hit in the head and whatever happened under the pressure of the game. He had a concussion. He had a legit concussion and all, so I think we’ve got to give him a little slack there,” Carroll said. “I know he apologized for stuff that I don’t even know that he remembers what he said because he was

knocked pretty good. But he’s come back out of it, and I think he’s done the very classy thing in how he’s handled it from that point.”

After the announcement from Carroll, clearing protocols this early in the week usually puts you on a path to play the following game which Adams will try to do as the Seahawks face the Cincinnati Bengals.

NFL’s final decision on Jamal Adams’ potential discipline after incident with concussion doctor

Story by Alex House

The NFL has made its verdict regarding Jamal Adams’ conduct toward an independent concussion doctor on Monday Night Football. The star safety and Seattle Seahawks fans can rest easy.

“After reviewing the incident and seeing Jamal Adams’ apology, the NFL has decided not to discipline the Seahawks’ safety for his actions toward the independent concussion doctor appointed by the NFL and NFLPA following his concussion sideline evaluation in Monday night’s game,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported

Friday.

Jamal Adams 2023 DEBUT & HEAD INJURY & FIGHTS HIS DOCTORS 🤬

The former All-Pro was visibly incensed after being removed from the team’s Week 4 road matchup against the New York Giants. Adams, who was returning from a torn quadriceps tendon that kept him sidelined for almost 400 days, took a knee to the head while trying to tackle a running Daniel Jones in the first drive

of the game.

He struggled to get up to his feet and was promptly helped to the sideline for further evaluation. All of the veteran’s frustrations boiled over, as he appeared belligerent after the doctor’s presumed diagnosis. Adams apologized earlier in the week, which undoubtedly made Roger Goodell and the NFL feel more

comfortable in letting him off the hook.

Safety has been a top priority for the league since Tua Tagovailoa’s own concussion concerns last season. It is possible that Adams’ tirade was a direct result of his head injury, which would give credence to the decision not to fine him.

The Seahawks (3-1) are on a bye this week but head to Paycor Stadium next Sunday for a chance to greatly jeopardize the Cincinnati Bengals’ season. A struggling offense’s job will be made much more difficult if Adams can clear concussion protocol.

Seahawks’ Pete Carroll reacts to Devon Witherspoon’s breakout performance vs. Giants

Seattle Seahawks rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon had an impressive game against the New York Giants, and Pete Carroll liked what he saw.

By Ryan Bologna

Seattle Seahawks rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon has impressed early in his career, and he made a name for himself on Monday Night Football with a pick six off of Daniel Jones of the New York Giants to essentially seal the game, and head coach Pete Carroll said he knew this is what Witherspoon could be

when they took him with the No. 5 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

“I never thought he wouldn't play like this,” Pete Carroll said, via Grant Gordon of NFL.com. “This is the why we took him. To be active and to show that he gets this game of football, and it comes easy to him. He's an explosive, dynamic player. We got to put him at nickel for the first time. This was a process, getting

him back out there. We didn't have enough time, we though, to have him ready, although he's been working at it the whole time. He did a great job tonight, and you can see why we like him there.”

The pick six against Daniel Jones was the first interception of Devon Witherspoon's career. The Giants were close to making it a one-score game, then Witherspoon's interception essentially sealed the win.

The Seahawks moved to 3-1, and are now firmly in the thick of things in the NFC, having won three in a row after losing their opening game to the Los Angeles Rams.

After an early bye next week, the Seahawks will play the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6 of the 2023 season.

Giants’ Daniel Jones sounds off on shocking Brian Daboll moment caught on camera

Story by Poch de la Rosa

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones isn’t taking head coach Brian Daboll’s iPad tablet tossing incident personally. Jones aired his side on the controversial incident on Wednesday, per the New York Post’s Paul Schwartz.

“I mean, we were all frustrated. Just a costly mistake. I can’t afford to do that. We were all frustrated and that’s part of it,” Jones said.

Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton shared the same sentiments as Jones.

“He’s frustrated. Dabs is frustrated. I’m frustrated. Everybody’s frustrated. We’re losing, and it’s not going right. We’re missing plays, we’re not executing plays. I could break a tablet over my head. We all understand it. Nobody thinks any differently of Dabs or Daniel or their relationship,” Slayton said.

Darius Slayton also defended Daniel Jones, who incurred the wrath of Giants fans on social media following his horrendous performance on MNF.

“He’s a tough guy; that’s why I respect him a lot, that’s why our team respects him a lot. Because at the end of the day he goes out there and he fights his tail off to get us wins,” Slayton said.

The Seattle Seahawks embarrassed Daniel Jones’ Giants 24-3 on MNF. The “mistake” Jones referred to was his costly 97-yard pick-six to Seahawks rookie Devon Witherspoon. The defensive touchdown increased the deficit to 18 points and served as the final nail on the Giants’ coffin. Worse, the Seahawks pass

rush sacked Daniel Jones 11 times.

When Daniel Jones returned to the sideline, Brian Daboll got in his face and promptly chewed him out. Daboll tossed his iPad tablet onto the bench in utter frustration.

The beleaguered Giants hope to get their act together for their Week 5 game against the Miami Dolphins.

Seahawks’ Jamal Adams issues heartfelt apology to doctor amid concussion

Seahawks’ Jamal Adams issues heartfelt apology to doctor amid concussion

Story by Rexwell Villas

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams has issued a statement apologizing for his actions on the sidelines last Monday during a game against the New York Giants. Adams was caught on camera going off on an independent doctor, whose assessment led to the end of the defensive back’s night due to concussion.

Adams released his apology via his X account:

“First and foremost, I want to apologize to the OG. You did everything right when you realized I was concussed, I apologize for any negative energy I brought your way. Watching the replay, I am thankful for your patience knowing I wasn’t myself in that moment. You’re a real one and you serve a great purpose that

benefits the NFL and so many players. Prioritizing player’s health is essential. Much respect to you!”

Adams’ statement came amid rumors of a potential penalty that the NFL could hand him over his behavior in the Giants game.

The Week 4 showdown against New York was the first game of Jamal Adams after a lengthy absence. It can be recalled that Adams suffered a devastating quad injury in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season against the Denver Broncos and missed the rest of that campaign. He was understandably frustrated over having to

deal with yet another health issue in just his first game back from the quad injury, but he should have still done a better job keeping his emotions in check.

The Seahawks have a bye in Week 5 and assuming that Adams escapes suspension, he is likely to play in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals on the road.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith confronts Giants after suffering injury on controversial tackle

Seahawks QB Geno Smith confronts Giants after suffering injury on controversial tackle

Story by Angelo Guinhawa

Geno Smith got heated after he was hurt on Isaiah Simmons’ controversial tackle during the Seattle Seahawks-New York Giants Monday Night Football game.

Early in the second quarter, Smith was carrying the ball and tried to get out of bounds to avoid the Giants’ defense. However, as Simmons attempted to tackle him, he instead fell behind the Seahawks quarterback and eventually landed on the back of Smith’s legs as the signal-caller was falling down as well.

Taking the full weight of Simmons on his legs clearly hurt Smith, and he wasn’t happy with the play considering how dangerous and dirty it is. He then proceeded to the Giants sideline and confronted the defense, with Xavier McKinney getting into his face to defend his New York teammates.

While Geno Smith was able to have a heated moment with the Giants, his condition isn’t actually the best. He apparently sustained a knee injury and had to go to the medical tent to get checked. He was eventually sent to the locker room, with Drew Lock coming in to replace him.

Seattle listed him as questionable to return after that, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Smith is the Seahawks’ second significant casualty of the night after Jamal Adams was also forced to leave the game earlier due to a head injury.

It’s definitely not a good sign for the Seahawks. While the severity of Smith’s injury has yet to be determined, the fact that he needed to step out of the game is guaranteed to raise some concerns.

If Smith ends up missing some more games moving forward, it will be quite the brutal blow for a Seattle team that has gotten off to a 2-1 start with the 32-year-old QB leading the way. Hopefully, though, the Seahawks only took him out as a precaution and that his injury isn’t significant.

UPDATE: Geno Smith returns to the game in the third quarter, per the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks (3-1) defense had been much-maligned to start the season, but they unleashed fury on the hapless New York Giants (1-3) and thrashed them 24-3 at Metlife Stadium. Daniel Jones was sacked a whopping 11 times, threw two interceptions and lost a fumble.

Devon Witherspoon had an epic night, and I mean an epic night. The No. 5 overall pick had 7 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 pass defensed, and a back-breaking pick-six on Jones that shut the door on a Giants comeback. Bobby Wagner, Jordyn Brooks, and Uchenna Nwosu each had two sacks, and the Giants offense had just 248

yards of total offense.

The damper on things was the early concussion to Jamal Adams following his return from his quad injury. Several other Seahawks suffered injuries, including quarterback Geno Smith, who at least returned in the 2nd half after hurting his knee in the 2nd quarter. We’ll definitely be keeping tabs on the post-game injury

report but that bye week is welcome.

Seattle looked dreadful for the most part against the Los Angeles Rams on opening day, and have since rattled off three straight wins.

Seahawks’ Jamal Adams Held Back From Doctor on Sidelines After Suffering Injury

Jamal Adams 2023 DEBUT & HEAD INJURY & FIGHTS HIS DOCTORS 🤬

Seahawks safety Jamal Adams made a long-awaited return to the field on Monday night against the Giants, having not played in a game in 385 days after suffering a torn quadriceps tendon which ended his ‘22 season early.

His return was unfortunately short-lived, however, as he sustained a head injury on just his ninth snap back in action. Adams was placed in concussion protocol and quickly ruled out for the game.

When going to get examined for a possible concussion, a frustrated Adams could be seen shouting at the league’s unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant along the sidelines. Two members of Seattle’s training staff could be seen holding back the disgruntled safety as he shouted at the UNC.

Shortly after being examined for a concussion, Adams was taken back to the locker room, where he was ruled out for the game.

Adams sustained the head injury early into the first quarter after attempting to tackle quarterback Daniel Jones, who ended up hitting the 27-year-old in the head with his knee. Adams looked shaken up while being helped off the field by the Seahawks’ medical staff.

The Seahawks won the coin toss and started on defense for the first time this season. New York established the running game with Matt Breida, and found themse's at midfield pretty quickly. Jamal Adams, who missed a chance to sack Daniel Jones on his first blitz, announced his return with this vicious hit on Parris

Campbell. New York still converted a 3rd down with Jones finding an open receiver to the Seattle 36.

Adams was unfortunately helped off the field after Jones scrambled and as Jamal went low, Jones kneed him in the head inadvertently and probably concussed him. Two plays later, the Giants went for it on 4th and 1 at Seattle’s 28 and Daniel Jones was STUFFED on the sneak by Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks.

Seattle’s first play... I cannot properly articulate what just happened. Kenneth Walker got the carry, was tackled for a loss in the backfield by Bobby Okereke... or so everyone thought. Walker just kept running because the whistle never blew. The initial play was a 73-yard touchdown, but it was overturned upon

review. Instead of a TD, a three-and-out for the Seahawks.

The Giants got a 16-yard run from Jones on a scramble, then Devon Witherspoon introduced himself to the quarterback.

“Is Taylor Swift not at this game? I thought she goes to MetLife for all the New York games,” asked Eli.

“If she was at this game, she left,” replied Peyton.

Ouch. he wasn’t wrong at all. It was a poorly played game that got better for the Seahawks but even worse for the Giants.

Sorry. Not, Sorry! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A photo of the Mannings upset about Devon Witherspoon's pick 6.

Devon Witherspoon effect

Manningface.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. A double dose of Manningface has to be worth a million words.

The Seahawks got the ball back, picked up a first down on a play-action pass to Noah Fant, and uh... flag, flag, more flags. They had flags on four consecutive snaps (one of them offsetting a pass interference), and found themselves at 1st and 25. Seattle battled back to 3rd and 8, converted with Geno to DK Metcalf,

except Metcalf stepped out of bounds so it’s officially incomplete. Weirdest. Quarter. Ever.

But we weren’t done! Daniel Jones got strip-sacked by Mario Edwards after initial pressure from Uchenna Nwosu. Jordyn Brooks got the recovery and ran it back inside the 10. DK Metcalf brilliantly snagged a pass in the end zone from Geno Smith to end the quarter!

Giants HC Brian Daboll’s tablet-throwing antics on Daniel Jones draws major backlash

Story by Ryan Bologna

The New York Giants suffered a brutal 24-3 loss on Monday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks, and Giants head coach Brian Daboll was heated after Daniel Jones threw a pick six to Devon Witherspoon that essentially sealed the game.

The Seahawks went up 21-3 with the Devon Witherspoon pick six.

The Giants eventually lost 24-3 after Daniel Jones threw another interception later in the game and got sacked 11 times total in the game. After a successful 2022 season, the Giants have had about as bad of a start to the 2023 season as you could draw up.

Brian Daboll got some criticism for throwing a tablet after the pix six. Let’s get to some of those.

The Giants had chances to win against the Seahawks on Monday, but the ineptitude on offense is what did them in.

Early in the game, Jones fumbled after getting sacked, setting up the Seahawks at the Giants’ seven. Shortly after, Geno Smith threw a touchdown to DK Metcalf. Seven more points game on the Witherspoon pick six.

The Giants defense gave the offense to win the game with just a decent performance, and that did not take place. It was a culmination of Jones’ mistakes along with the poor play of the offensive line, along with the Seahawks secondary blanketing the Giants receivers.

It does not get easier for Daboll and the Giants. Next week they are going on the road to play the Miami Dolphins, then after that they will be on the road against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football.

The Giants have a lot of problems to fix if they want any chance to win one of those games.

New York Giants coach Brian Daboll on Tuesday rejected the idea that he was showing up quarterback Daniel Jones by flipping a tablet away in apparent disgust over discussing a 97-yard pick-six thrown by Jones Monday night in a 24-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

“I’m not doing that,” Daboll said. “I’m just coaching. So, I’m coaching Daniel when he comes off the field. Again, the tablet thing, I’d have to go back and see it. But again, I remember exactly what it is. We were talking about a particular play, and I just tossed it off to the side.”

The Seahawks are reportedly still sacking Daniel Jones even though the game is long gone. 11 SACKS

NFL: Seattle Seahawks at New York Giants

Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports

A Special Duo. Devon Witherspoon and Tariq Woolen

A photo of Devon Witherspoon and Tariq Woolen.

The Giants once again mustered up just a single first down before shutting down, much to the annoyance of the crowd. Seattle not only punted it back, but Geno Smith got rolled up on after catching a pass that was batted right back to him. Isaiah Simmons landed on him making a tackle that started inbounds and

ended well out of bounds, much to Geno’s dislike. He stayed in for a 3rd down screen that was nearly picked off by Kayvon Thibodeaux.

Seattle had the Giants backed up at their own 2, but some big plays to Matt Breida in the passing game helped push New York into Seahawks territory. Devon Witherspoon was wreaking havoc in the backfield, punishing Giants players with some heavy hits. His 8-yard TFL forced the Giants into kicking a field goal,

which Graham Gano made from 55.

With Geno still getting his knee looked at, Drew Lock entered the game for his first regular season snaps as a Seahawk. He got Seattle to right near midfield, then on 3rd and 10 he rolled from pressure and found Noah Fant, who rumbled down the sidelines and somehow didn’t step out of bounds. Fant broke tackles

and got all the way to the 1-yard line, after the initial touchdown signal was reversed! Kenneth Walker punched it in from a yard out.

The Giants went three-and-out and Jones was lucky not to have a pick thrown to Riq Woolen. Seattle went three-and-out but Michael Dickson got run into and the Giants didn’t even get the ball back.

3rd Quarter

Geno Smith came back out to start the 2nd half, and the offense was finally humming both through the air and on the ground. However, faced with 4th and 1 in the red zone, the rollout to Zach Charbonnet was behind him and knocked away at the last minute for a turnover on downs. The Giants crowd was electric for

one of the few times all game, but the annoyance returned with two sacks and another three-and-out. A big punt return by DeeJay Dallas plus a hold on New York set the Seahawks up in Giant territory right away. Unfortunately, they only gained 5 yards and Jason Myers missed wide left from 53.

Seattle let the Giants hang around so much and the offense finally got into the red zone. After a failed 3rd and 3 run, the Giants went for it on 4th and 1 again instead of kicking a short field goal to cut it to 14-6. Boye Mafe lost contain and Jones got to the 5. Two plays later, Jones threw a pick-6 to Devon

Witherspoon! 97 yards to the house!

Devon Witherspoon is hype after the Seahawks' W

Seahawks CB Devon Witherspoon boosts rookie hype with bonkers feat no NFL player achieved before

Story by Jedd Pagaduan

The Seattle Seahawks made scoring an inordinately difficult endeavor for the New York Giants on Monday night, and it’s thanks in large part to the continued excellence of 22-year old cornerback Devon Witherspoon, the blue-chip prospect the Seahawks took with the fifth overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. One play,

in particular, hyped up fans considerably. Witherspoon, with the Giants threatening to score in the red zone, snatched their hearts completely with an exhilarating 97-yard pick-six.

And on top of that enthralling defensive play, the burgeoning Seahawks star also tallied 2.0 sacks (making life more miserable for Daniel Jones) to go along with six tackles and one assist, stealing the show in his team’s 24-3 victory over the Giants. And in doing so, Witherspoon achieved an incredible feat that no one

in NFL history, rookie or not, has accomplished.

According to OptaSTATS, Devon Witherspoon is the only player in NFL history to tally at least 2.0 sacks and a 95+ yard touchdown in a single game. The caveat, of course, is that the NFL only began tracking sacks in 1982. Even then, that is an impressive feat for anyone in the NFL, much less a rookie. So to see the

Seahawks CB pull this off in just his third career game will bode well for his future as one of the best defensive players in the league.

In fact, Witherspoon, on the back of this incredible performance, has drawn early Defensive Player of the Year consideration, just an out and out validation of the work he’s put in during his brief professional career thus far. Only one of the greatest players of all time, Lawrence Taylor won the award as a rookie (in

1981), so the Seahawks defender could find himself in even greater company should he man age to pull that off.

Taylor, as one would recall, went on to have a Hall of Fame career, even winning the MVP award in 1986 on top of his two Super Bowl wins. If Devon Witherspoon manages to fashion himself a career that rivals that of Taylor’s, then the Seahawks will have themselves one of the greatest defensive players of his

generation. There’s a long way to go for sure, but Witherspoon is certainly showing that he’s worth all the hype.

We're celebrating this one!

4th Quarter

The sack party continued on poor Daniel Jones, who was nearly gotten by Devon Witherspoon for a third time, and actually sacked by Bobby Wagner for a second time and Uchenna Nwosu for the first time. Seattle went three-and-out, but the Giants gave it back on a Quandre Diggs pick. Jason Myers kicked a field

goal, Jones got sacked some more, and that wrapped it all up.

Seahawks’ DK Metcalf touchdown vs Giants hilariously predicted by Will Ferrell on Manningcast

Seahawks’ DK Metcalf touchdown vs Giants hilariously predicted by Will Ferrell on Manningcast©

Actor Will Ferrell has a bright future in sports broadcasting after all. Ferrell hilariously predicted Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf’s touchdown against the New York Giants on Peyton and Eli Manning’s “Manningcast.”

The Seahawks had the ball on third and 22 with just five seconds left in the first quarter. Seattle quarterback Geno Smith dropped back and rolled to his right to avoid the Giants’ pass rush. At that point, Will Ferrell was imploring Geno Smith to throw the ball at the corner of the end zone where DK Metcalf stood.

Will Ferrell suddenly became a clairvoyant in front of a prime time national television audience on Monday Night Football.

Smith threw the ball in DK Metcalf’s direction just as Ferrell called it. It’s as if Will Ferrell was the Seahawks’ offensive coordinator on that play. Metcalf’s touchdown at the end of the first quarter put Seattle on the board.

“Ferrell! On the panel!” Peyton Manning yelled during the broadcast.

“I think that’s close enough,” his brother Eli Manning said.

Eli Manning, the former Giants quarterback, promptly took a cardboard cutoff of Will Ferrell and placed it right next to one of John McEnroe. Both men predicted plays correctly on the “Manningcast.”

DK Metcalf recently said knowledge and preparation set the best NFL players apart from the rest of the field. He showed his preparation in that last-second touchdown reception. To his credit, Will Ferrell also showed impressive preparation as a guest panelist on the “Manningcast.”

Can the Seahawks win their third game in a row and tug on the coattails of the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West division? On the other hand, can the Giants win without an injured Saquon Barkley? Stay tuned.

Geno Smith’s net worth in 2023

Story by Spencer

Geno Smith’s net worth in 2022 is $5 million. Smith is a professional football player who currently plays for the Seattle Seahawks. Back in college, Smith was an Orange Bowl MVP and All-Big East team member. For this piece, let’s take a closer look at Geno Smith’s net worth in 2023.

Geno Smith’s net worth in 2023 (estimate): $5 million

Geno Smith’s net worth in 2023©

Geno Smith’s net worth in 2023 is $5 million. This is according to reputable outlets such as CAKnowledge.

Geno Smith was born in Miami. He attended Miramar High School. Smith also played for the school’s football team. While playing for Miramar, Smith is ranked as the third-best passer in Broward County history. He threw for 3,089 yards and 32 touchdowns.

After high school, Smith would go on to play for West Virginia University. While suiting up for the Mountaineers, he made the First-team All-Big East and Second-team All-Big East in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Smith’s four-year college career saw him finish with 11,662 yards thrown and 98 touchdowns.

Geno Smith is drafted by the Jets

After a decent college career and a respectable showing in the NFL Scouting Combine, there were expectations that Smith would be taken in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft. However, Smith would be taken in the second round by the New York Jets with the 39th pick. Shortly after, Smith would eventually sign his

rookie contract, which is a four-year deal worth $5 million.

Smith stayed with the Jets for four seasons. He accumulated 5,962 passing yards and tallied 28 touchdowns. Smith’s stay with the Jets was marred with various off-the-court scandals and injuries. On top of that, Smith didn’t really play up to expectations, which resulted in his exit.

Geno Smith signs with Giants, Chargers

As a result, in March 2017, Smith joined the New York Giants on a one-year deal that paid him a $775,000 base salary. While his stint with the Jets was forgettable, Smith’s stay with the Giants was uneventful.

Although Smith managed to take on a starting role, he only appeared in two games for the 2017 season. Smith tallied 212 passing yards and one touchdown.

After his uneventful stint with the Giants, Smith would go on to play for the Los Angeles Chargers. He signed a one-year contract worth $1 million. Unfortunately, Smith’s stint in Los Angeles wasn’t a head turner. Although he did appear in more games with five, Smith could only tally 8 passing yards.

Smith signs with Seahawks

After bouncing around with the Giants and the Chargers, Smith became a free agent after the 2018 season. In May 2019, Seattle Seahawks head coach wasn’t satisfied with the performance of his rookies during the minicamp. As a result, the team picked up Smith from free agency.

Smith agreed to join the Seahawks on a one-year contract worth $895,000. While Smith was eventually released, the organization signed him up again for the 2020 season as the team’s backup for the quarterback position. His fresh deal saw him ink a one-year, $1.19 million contract.

Smith made his first appearance in a Seahawks uniform in the 2020 season. In a 40-3 victory over the Jets, Smith tallied 33 passing yards. Despite only playing one game for the season, it was enough for the Seahawks to keep him as the team’s backup quarterback to Russell Wilson. In 2021, Smith signed a one-

year deal to rejoin the Seahawks, which paid him $1.2 million. This, obviously, did help to add to Geno Smith’s net worth in 2023.

During the 2021 season, Smith played in four games for the Seahawks and started in three of them. With him playing, the Seahawks posted a 1-2 record. He tallied a much improved 702 passing yards, five touchdowns, and one interception.

Geno Smith becomes Seahawks’ starting QB

Geno wrote back Geno Smith is the Comeback Player of the Year

In 2022, everything changed for Smith. Smith was expected to contend for the starting spot for the Seahawks after they had traded away Wilson to the Denver Broncos. Thus, the team offered Smith a one-year deal worth $3.5 million, which could potentially jump to $7 million with incentives and bonuses. However,

the contract originally was rendered void after the NFL rejected the terms of the deal. Fortunately, this was amended after new terms of the contract were approved by the league.

Smith then surpassed all expectations by leading the Seahawks to a 9-8 record and Wild Card berth in the NFL Playoffs. He passed for more than 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns on a nearly 70 percent completion rate while throwing just 11 interceptions.

Smith was named to the Pro Bowl and was voted the NFL Comeback Player of the Year. The Seahawks rewarded Smith with a three-year, $105 million contract, which will certainly boost Smith’s net worth going forward, not to mention please Smith’s wife Haley Eastham.

Nevertheless, were you at all stunned by Geno Smith’s net worth in 2023?

Seahawks news: DK Metcalf trolls Tyler Lockett with savage Happy Birthday message

Seahawks news: DK Metcalf trolls Tyler Lockett with savage Happy Birthday message

Story by Eva Geitheim

The Seattle Seahawks are celebrating wide receiver Tyler Lockett’s birthday Thursday, ahead of their Monday Night Football game versus the New York Giants. The ninth-year Seattle receiver turned 31 years old.

At a press conference after practice, teammate DK Metcalf wished Lockett a happy birthday before joking, “What is he, 45?” per John Boyle.

Though the comment is greatly exaggerated for the veteran receiver who is just 31, it did prompt several laughs. This is far from the first time Metcalf has poked fun at his older teammate. Earlier this month, Metcalf was asked about how Lockett has grown in his career to which DK humorously replied with a joke

about Lockett’s 5-foot-10 height, “I don’t think Tyler’s grown since I’ve been here,” per Gregg Bell.

DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett have form one of the top receiving duos in the NFL since the Seahawks drafted Metcalf out of Ole Miss in the second round of the 2019 draft. Lockett has had four consecutive 1,000 yard receiving seasons since Metcalf arrived in Seattle while Metcalf has had at least 900 yards in all four of

those seasons. Metcalf and Lockett are off to another strong start in the 2023 season as Metcalf leads the team with 234 receiving yards while Lockett has 103 yards and two touchdowns.

September 28th is also the birthday of another special Seahawks receiver — Steve Largent. The Hall of Fame Seahawks receiver of the 1970s and 1980s shares a birthday with Lockett, which the Seahawks also celebrated on their social media pages.

Though Metcalf and Lockett have created a formidable duo, Largent remains the gold standard for Seahawks receivers as he still is the franchise’s all-time leader in receptions, yards, and touchdowns.

'I Need You!' Inside Pep Talk from Geno to Jaxon: VIDEO

Geno and Jaxon - Seahawks

Story by Mike Fisher

Playing quarterback in the NFL? All it is is the toughest job in sports. Among the demands are leadership qualities, but those must be married with talent and execution.

"Leadership, Talent and Execution''? Meet Geno Smith.

The vet QB was a centerpiece in driving the Seattle Seahawks to a 37-27 victory over the Carolina Panthers in Week 3, and a mic'd-up piece from Geno as he encouraged Jaxon Smith-Njigba on the sideline is quite telling.

“Hey, I need you! Need you in the second half! Need you locked in!" Smith said via Inside The NFL. "Alright, look. Whatever happened is on me. It ain’t never on you. You gotta get the ball, so I gotta find you, all right? But I need you to give me your best this second half."

This conversation seems to have come off the heels of a Panthers interception on a ball intended for Smith-Njigba, the talented rookie receiver.

Did the Smith pep talk suddenly propel the former Ohio State star Smith-Njigba into a gigantic-number performance? It did not, as he finished the game with but one 10-yard catch.

And overall, the numbers aren't there, as Jaxon has recorded just nine catches for 57 yards in three games for the 2-1 Seahawks. Some of that is about game script, some about philosphy (coach Pete Carroll has no reluctance to run the football) and some of it is due to the fact that Seattle's depth chart at receiver

starts with D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

But as Smith-Njigba, just 21 years old, looks forward to helping when the Seahawks face the New York Giants on Monday Night Football ... or in the near future? He's got the positive message from a more-than-just-a-leader Geno Smith firmly planted in his psyche.

Geno Smith told Jake Bobo “keep winning I’m gonna Find you.”

Coach Pete Carroll 'Fired Up!' For Bobo's First NFL TD

JAKE More BOBO’s TD Catch Vs Panthers.

Jake Bobo said he “didn’t really have a choice” but to come down with his touchdown catch because Geno Smith put it in such a great spot. The rookie receiver appreciated Tyler Lockett for tracking the ball down, knowing it was his first NFL score. Bobo said it’s going to his mom.

Story by Adam Schultz

After Seattle Seahawks head coach, Pete Carroll stated during Week 3 prep that the team hasn't seen enough of undrafted rookie Jake Bobo after a superb preseason campaign. But fans finally got a sighting of regular-season Bobo Mania against the Carolina Panthers at Lumen Field on Sunday.

The Seahawks took care of business 37-27 to move to 2-1 on the season, but it was Bobo's first NFL touchdown that caught the attention of the 12s late in the game.

With a little over four minutes left in the fourth quarter and facing a 2nd and 10, Geno Smith found Bobo in the back of the end zone, as he managed to barely get his feet inbounds on what was a superb catch.

To say that Carroll was happy for his receiver is an understatement.

"Loved it," Carroll said. "I was so fired up that Jake (Bobo) got that. We missed some opportunities to him today, but he's going to be a big factor. He did some really good things in this game today. I couldn't see how intricate it was at the back line, but I'm sure he did it perfectly. He would figure out how to get in

bounds. Great little play, great call, great throw by G (Geno Smith), and also to finish it off like that."

After impressing during the preseason games as he hauled in seven receptions for 125 yards and two touchdowns, Bobo was barely sighted in the first two games of the regular season.

With Seattle' already possessing offensive weapons in DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Bobo has naturally fallen down the pecking order.

Where were you when @jak3bobo Scored his First Touchdown?

Just @jak3bobo

But against the Panthers, he hauled in his first touchdown which helped the Seahawks put distance between themselves and Carolina.

Even Smith was delighted for Bobo to grab his first NFL score.

"Sweet, man," Smith said of Bobo's touchdown. "That was awesome. So happy for Jake, just all his hard work and seeing the way he's prepared. Since the day he got here he's done his thing, and so we were trying to get him the ball really in these first three games and he stuck with it, kept preparing, and it's just

great to see a guy works so hard to get that. He's very deserving of that."

The undrafted rookie opened his touchdown account and the Seahawks backed up their overtime win over the Detroit Lions last week by improving to 2-1.

The Seahawks will visit the New York Giants in Week 4 on Monday Night Football.

"8 False Starts!!! Way to go #12s!!"

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll credits major X-factor in Panthers’ false start galore

Story by Jackson Stone

Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks improved their 2023 record to 2-1 with a 27-37 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Throughout the game, Seahawks fans were very loud and created an intimidating environment for the Panthers.

After the contest, Carroll made sure to shout out the well known “12th Man,” as Seahawks fans are known, for their contributions to a number of Panthers false start penalties that were drawn throughout the afternoon.

“What a great impact they had,” said Carroll, per John Boyle.

Throughout the years, Seahawks fans have indeed established Lumen Field as one of the toughest environments for opposing teams to play in, and that was seen throughout Sunday’s games.

As for the Seahawks players themselves, they were equally as impressive against the Panthers. Quarterback Geno Smith put together an excellent performance, completing 23/36 pass attempts for 296 and one touchdown against one interception. Meanwhile, running back Kenneth Walker III took 18 carries for 97

yards and found the end zone two times on the afternoon.

The win is the Seahawks’ second straight victory, following up last week’s impressive overtime road win against the Detroit Lions, in which the team showed much resiliency. That occurred on the heels of a tough home loss to the Los Angeles Rams to open up the 2023 season.

Up next for the Seahawks, they will hit the road once again for a game against the New York Giants on October 2. That game is a Monday Night Football game and is slated to kick off at 8:15 PM ET from MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Panthers vs. Seahawks prediction, odds, pick, how to watch NFL Week 3 game

Seahawks @dkm14, @GenoSmith3, #Chenna and @JerrickReed

By Mookie Alexander @mookiealexander

The Seattle Seahawks (2-1) made sure the special day for the 2013 championship team wouldn’t be spoiled. It was a slow start for Seattle, who trailed 13-9 at one point against the Carolina Panthers (0-3), but Geno Smith and company were able to move the ball at will in the 2nd half and turn those early field goals

into touchdowns. The Seahawks outscored Carolina 25-14 after intermission, going up by as much as 17 points before allowing a garbage-time TD in the team’s 37-27 victory.

Smith threw for just shy of 300 yards and had a touchdown pass to rookie sensation Jake Bobo. Kenneth Walker had well over 100 yards of offense and a couple of touchdowns, and DK Metcalf battled through injury and had over 100 receiving yards. The Seahawks defense gave up some big plays to Andy Dalton, who

threw for 361 yards on a comical 58 attempts, but Carolina was one-dimensional and couldn’t run the ball at all. Seattle’s pass coverage had some strong moments in between the uglier ones, and the pass rush was relentless getting at Dalton.

The crowd was also awesome, forcing the Panthers into a whopping eight false starts. It was reminiscent of the 2005 win over the New York Giants, who jumped 11 times.

The only bad news? A lot of injuries. A lot. Of. Injuries.

Seahawks SPOIL Andy Dalton's Debut With Panthers @CBSports

@BlitzTheSeahawk

THIS. PLACE. IS. ROCKIN’.

1st Quarter

The Seahawks got the ball first for the third straight week, but unlike the last two weeks they failed to get points. Two pressures on three plays led to a punt. Andy Dalton got crunched on a 3rd down completion to Adam Thielen, and that hit by Julian Love resulted in a roughing penalty. Carolina got into the red zone

only for Boye Mafe to knock them backwards with an 11-yard sack. Then a hold on Tommy Tremble led to 3rd and 26. Adam Thielen caught a quick screen and Eddy Pineiro booted one through the uprights to put Carolina on the board.

Seattle benefited from an iffy face mask call on Justin Houston, which gave them a free 15 on a Ken Walker run. A big pass to DK Metcalf set them up in Carolina territory, but a 3rd and 1 direct snap to Walker was snuffed. On 4th and 1 at Carolina’s 29, Pete Carroll went for it and Walker just about got it. Iffy spot,

really bizarre measurement! Seattle would have to settle for a field goal, which Jason Myers converted from 43.

Carolina had another drive destroyed by a sack, this time courtesy of Jarran Reed and friends on a blitz.

Seahawks vs. Panthers: Week 3 notable prop bets

National Football League Dance GIF by NFL

2nd Quarter

Seattle got the ball back and it only took a few plays to get into Carolina’s red zone, with Geno hitting DK Metcalf deep down the field on a beautiful throw. Evan Brown wiped out a Zach Charbonnet run to the 3 by committing a holding penalty. A sack by Brian Burns backed them up, so Myers had to kick another field

goal to give the Seahawks the lead.

Andy Dalton got the ball back and the Panthers went three-and-out swiftly. The Seahawks started at their own 39 and it became the Ken Walker show. Two runs and two very successful plays, including a 36-yard scamper off a sick cut to the outside. Unfortunately the drive stalled out again and Seattle settled for 3

again.

The Panthers finally sustained a drive into Seattle territory, off the back of a nifty 15-yard run by Miles Sanders. On 3rd and 10 from the 47, Dalton found a wide open DJ Chark on a busted coverage for a 47-yard touchdown.

Geno nearly threw a pick on 1st down, got sacked on 2nd down, then actually picked on 3rd down. He was looking for Jaxon Smith-Njigba and found the linebacker Deion Jones instead, setting up Carolina at the 28. Carolina false started and were behind the sticks from the start, and the Seahawks defense held firm.

Eddy Pineiro made another field goal.

Geno responded with a 20-yard throw to Metcalf, and then a 22-yard catch-and-run by DK to put the Seahawks in the red zone. Three straight incomplete passes ensued, resulting in another field goal attempt for Myers to close the gap to 1.

The toes though! Playing like a vet! #Seahawks #MoreBobo

3rd Quarter

The Panthers went three-and-out to start the half, so a good start for the defense. Again the Seahawks were able to move the ball effectively down the field, but pressure from Justin Houston forced a 3rd and 4 incomplete pass by Geno. Jason Myers put one through from 39 to give Seattle the lead.

DJ Chark made a ridiculous catch along the sidelines for 28 yards on Mike Jackson, which was doubly bad because Pete Carroll threw the challenge flag and lost. The Panthers were in field goal range but Pineiro missed wide right from 55.

The Seahawks were backed up after a blindside block penalty on DK Metcalf, who went too far on a Ken Walker run. No problem because on 1st and 21, Geno found Walker wide open for 36 yards deep into Carolina territory. Noah Fant was open in the middle of the field to set up the first goal-to-go for either team in

the game. Two Walker runs got the Seahawks to the 1. The third one scored the Seahawks’ first TD.

Devon Witherspoon thought he had a 3rd down stop but was flagged for a very debatable pass interference. The next 3rd down was heaved down the field for Adam Thielen, who beat Artie Burns for a big conversion. Thielen was open on a shallow crosser and got to the 1-yard line to end the quarter.

Walk Away National Football League GIF by NFL

4th Quarter

Miles Sanders scored his first touchdown as a Panther to open the 4th, cutting the lead back down to 2.

Two throws to tight ends yielded first down plays by Colby Parkinson and Noah Fant. The Fant catch put the Seahawks in Carolina territory once again. Then it was the Zach Charbonnet show on three consecutive carries, including an extra few yards because of a stupid body slam penalty by Deion Jones. Ken Walker

came in and finished things off with a 7-yard score.

Carolina really was in must-score territory and things were going well up until a comical sequence of back-to-back false starts put them at 3rd and 14. Then after Dalton threw incomplete, Frank Reich opted to punt and then the Panthers false started for an EIGHTH time in the game.

After a Seahawks three-and-out, Carolina had one more chance and did pretty much nothing with it. Dalton had a 4th and 2 conversion to Miles Sanders negated by an illegal shift, and then Jarran Reed sacked Dalton to force the turnover on downs.

The Seahawks went into bully ball mode and Zach Charbonnet made this poor Panthers defender almost slide into the locker room. Then it was Jake Bobo time for his first NFL touchdown! He tapped the toes, and got his first score. Then Geno and Lockett did this ridiculousness.

LOL: Seahawks RB Ken Walker handed out a COLD MUSCLE RELAXER!!

Dalton got a garbage-time drive going and Adam Thielen scored a deserved TD for his efforts.

‘In this house we worship Bobo’ - Seahawks fans react to 37-27 win

Story by DianeTaylor

The Seattle Seahawks had themselves a day. After an overtime thriller against the Detroit Lions, they came out a bit sluggish against an injury-plagued and overmatched Carolina Panthers squad starting Andy Dalton at quarterback. Well, if you are a Seahawks fan (which I am assuming you probably are), you are

aware that this team has struggled to beat Mr. Dalton in the past. Heading into today’s game, they were 1-3 against the former TCU Horned Frogs star. Well, now you can update that record to 2-3.

The Seahawks were suffering from a plethora of injuries, as well, and for much of the first half, this looked like it was turning into another half-hearted snoozer of a performance at home. Fortunately, Jason Myers shook off his early season rust and made five straight field goals to give the team a 15-13 lead early in

the third quarter; a lead they would continue to pile on for the rest of the game. He wasn’t the only sharp player in this win, as the team saw a pair of their highly drafted rookies — Devon Witherspoon and Zach Charbonnet — make an impression on the field... and on opposing players. Even Jake Bobo got in on the

action! And I guess you could say this got some people talking...

Crazy New Angle Shows Panthers Defender Flying Through The Air After Getting Trucked By Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (VIDEO)

Panthers' Sam Franklin Jr. goes flying through the air.

Story by Alex Hoegler

Marshawn Lynch provided his fair share of “Beast Mode” runs for the Seattle Seahawks during his storied tenure with the NFC West club.

It’s obviously way-too-early to compare Seahawks’ rookie running back Zach Charbonnet to the five-time Pro Bowler and Super 48 champion. But for one moment, at least, Charbonnet did a perfect Lynch impression with a “Beast Mode” run of his own against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

Late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s home tilt, Charbonnet took the handoff from Geno Smith and ran inside the five-yard line. Looking for the end zone, Charbonnet absolutely trucked Panthers’ safety Sam Franklin Jr. and sent him flying into another dimension.

A new camera angle shared by NFL Films shows just how massive the hit from Charbonnet was. Seahawks’ radio play-by-play voice Dave Raible summed it up best when he said Charbonnet hit Franklin “like a bus.”

Seattle’s rushing offense led the way to victory, racking racked up 146 yards and to touchdowns on 33 rookies. Sophomore Kenneth Walker III led the way with 97 and two touchdowns, while Charbonnet picked up 46 on nine carriees.

Charbonnet and the Seahawks will try to improve to 3-1 when they visit the New York Giants on Monday night next week.

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf explains what he believes separates good and great players in the NFL

Story by Tim Crean

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf is a good — maybe even great — NFL wide receiver. He is 6-foot-4, 235 pounds, looks like a Greek god, and runs as fast as Olympic sprinters. Still, despite all his physical gifts, ahead of the Seahawks Week 3 game against the Carolina Panthers, Metcalf says success in the

NFL is more about brains than brawn.

“I believe [preparation] is what separates a lot of the good players from the great players,” DK Metcalf said on the KG Certified show with NBA Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett. “How much knowledge they retain from the week.”

Metcalf went on to tell KG that he started watching a ton of film with a wide receivers coach a few years ago, and studying how cornerbacks and safeties like to play, how they cover and tackle, and what their tendencies are.

The Seahawks wideout also studies the greats. Metcalf listed his favorite former NFL WRs to watch on tape as Calvin Johnson, Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, and Julio Jones. The Mississippi native also said that “Megatron” was his favorite player growing up.

This season, Metcalf’s tape study and knowledge retention are starting to pay off. He only had three catches in Week 1 for 47 yards, but he did catch a touchdown. In Week 2, he grabbed all six of his targets from Geno Smith and put up 75 rushing yards.

Ahead of the Seahawks Week 3 tilt with the Panthers, DK Metcalf studied corners CJ Henderson and Donte Jackson as well as safeties Xavier Woods and Vonn Bell. One top CB he will not face is Jaycee Horn, who is on injured reserve.

Seahawks get mixed bag updates on DK Metcalf, Jamal Adams ahead of Week 3 clash vs. Panthers

Story by Gerard Angelo Samillano

The Seattle Seahawks are looking to ride their momentum from their win against the Lions in Week 3. Against the Carolina Panthers, Seattle is hoping to keep their offense in full swing while tightening the screws on defense. However, there was a big question mark for the Seahawks before Week 3: DK

Metcalf’s injury status.

Thankfully, Geno Smith will have one of his top weapons in tow for the game. The Seahawks are expecting DK Metcalf to play in their Week 3 tilt against the Panthers, per Adam Schefter.

“Seahawks’ WR D.K. Metcalf, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a rib injury, is expected to play vs. the Panthers, per source.”

On the other hand, the Seahawks still won’t be having star safety Jamal Adams for Week 3. Adams is recovering from a torn quad injury that sidelined him for the entire season. Despite missing the game against the Panthers, Seattle expects the star safety to return next week against the New York Giants.

“Seahawks safety Jamal Adams, who has not played a game since suffering a season-ending torn quad in week 1 of last season 377 days ago but is listed as questionable for Sunday, is not expected to play vs. the Panthers, per source. Adams has a strong chance to make his return next Monday night vs. the Giants,

per source.”

After getting throttled by the Rams in Week 1, the Seahawks bounced back in a shootout win over the Detroit Lions the following week. Going toe-to-toe with the Lions’ high-powered offense is no easy feat, but Seattle managed to do that. The team should be careful going up against a defense like the Panthers, who

have some hidden gems that can terrorize offenses.

By Mookie Alexander@mookiealexander

The Seattle Seahawks (1-1) had injuries entering the game and during the game, but they still pulled off a stunning 37-31 overtime win over the Detroit Lions (1-1) in a topsy-turvy thriller. Geno Smith threw for over 300 yards and a pair of touchdowns to Tyler Lockett, including the game-winner in overtime on the

first possession.

The defense gave up a lot of yards but forced three turnovers, including a first career interception and pick-6 by Tre Brown. They also did well to hold the Lions out of the end zone with Detroit starting at midfield in the last possession of regulation, as well as force two turnovers on downs.

It was another shootout, it was a gut check win, and the Seahawks are back in business after the despair of their opening day performance.

Dan Campbell postgame media availability | 2023 Week 2: Lions vs. Seahawks

1st Quarter

The Seahawks began on offense first, and things started brightly with a chunk play for Kenneth Walker on the first snap. Detroit gifted Seattle a cheap first down by having 12 on the field on a 3rd and 2. A big throw from Geno Smith to DK Metcalf put the Seahawks in the red zone on their opening drive. Another 3rd

down strike to DK set up 1st and goal at the 1. A false start penalty on Phil Haynes backed them up, but CJ Gardner-Johnson got a roughness flag for too much physicality on Ken Walker after the play was over. A DPI in the end zone put Seattle back at the 1-yard line. Kenneth Walker walked in on 2nd and goal.

Detroit responded emphatically with a 7-play, 75-yard drive in which they never even touched 3rd down. Jared Goff found Josh Reynolds down the middle of the field for a 22-yard touchdown in between Julian Love and Quandre Diggs.

2nd Quarter

Detroit started at their own 10 but that didn’t deter them whatsoever. Jared Goff continued to find open receivers, Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery did damage in the run game, but the Seahawks defense finally had an answer. Rookie Devon Witherspoon broke up a pass intended for fellow rookie Sam LaPorta on

4th and 4 in field goal range. Turnover on downs!

Seattle had back-to-back first down completions by Geno Smith, first to Tyler Lockett for 11 and then to Noah Fant for 32. The drive stalled from there and Jason Myers yanked one so far to the left from 45 that it probably hit one of the hot dog vendors.

The Seahawks thought they had a 3rd down stop but Devon Witherspoon was flagged for pass interference. Then the rookie got caught out on a flea flicker and Kalif Raymond was wide open for a 36-yard touchdown.

Seattle had a good drive going but opted to punt on 4th and 3 from the Detroit 43, as any sensible person would. Thankfully the Lions quickly went three-and-out and Seattle got the ball back. They got into field goal range but Myers missed from 56. Amon-Ra St. Brown burned Tre Brown deep on the final play but

lost a fumble as time expired.

Ref tells Geno Smith ‘I’m talking to America’ as he tries to argue call

This NFL ref dropped an incredible line while calling Geno Smith for grounding

A heavily-debated ruling by the referees during the third quarter of the Seattle Seahawks vs. Detroit Lions game gave way to an instant classic soundbite during Week 2 of the NFL season.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith dropped back to pass and thought his receiver, Tyler Lockett, was running a go route to the end zone. Smith threw the ball deep, but Lockett wasn’t on the same page, and chose to break off to his route short.

The refs called the play intentional grounding, which made Smith and Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll livid. As Smith pleaded with the official, the ref looked at him and said “I’m talking to America here.”

FOX color commentator Greg Olsen immediately said “that’s the best line I’ve ever heard out of an official,” and he’s not wrong. Stop complaining Geno, I’m talking to America here!

Here’s the play that led to “I’m talking to America here.” Smith is inside the tackle box, and the throw isn’t close to the receiver. He isn’t pressured, so it’s not like he’s trying to get rid of the ball. Did the refs make the correct call here?

Smith and Lockett would get their revenge later in the game. The duo connected on the game-winning touchdown in overtime to give Seattle a 37-31 win. Watch that play here.

Smith and Lockett were electric in Week 2 to give Seattle its first win of the season, but at least for a few minutes, the sassy ref was the real star of the show.

3rd Quarter

The Seahawks started the 2nd half on defense and got a fumble! Uchenna Nwosu forced the fumble on David Montgomery and Jarran Reed was there. Two plays later, Kenneth Walker III cut to daylight for a tying score.

Showing up on special teams.

The Lions needed only three plays to get into the end zone, and then they were in the end zone on a screen pass to David Montgomery. However, a very iffy OPI on Josh Reynolds nullified the score. Detroit went for it on 4th and 3 from Seattle’s 11. A nifty shovel pass to St. Brown produced the conversion. David

Montgomery wasn’t denied on 3rd and goal, scoring from four yards out.

Seattle went for it on 4th and 1 at their own 41, and Walker converted to move the sticks. The Seahawks again moved into Lions territory and had goal to go. Unfortunately, the passing game stalled in the red zone and Jason Myers had to come on and at least made this kick.

The Lions again went for it on 4th and 2, this time at their own 45, but Jordyn Brooks pressured Jared Goff and his pass to Josh Reynolds was incomplete. Devon Witherspoon was in coverage and tangled feet caused them both to fall, so no PI.

4th Quarter

The Seahawks marched into the red zone with a chance to take the lead. A clear miscommunication with Tyler Lockett was deemed intentional grounding, to Pete Carroll’s disbelief. It didn’t matter, because Geno found Lockett on 3rd and 10 for a conversion inside the 5. On 2nd and goal, it was that combo again for

the go-ahead score!

Tre Brown had a bit of a struggle for the afternoon, but then he bounced back with the first sack of Jared Goff all day, and then a pick-six after Uchenna Nwosu hurried Goff into a poor throw. Brown’s first pick is a touchdown, in for the injured Riq Woolen!

The Lions answered back with a 10-play, 75-yard drive ending in a touchdown to Josh Reynolds, who beat Brown on this occasion. A lot of time was taken off the clock, so just 3:08 left.

Just when it looked like the Seahawks had a clutch 3rd down conversion to Colby Parkinson, he was flagged for OPI. A 3rd and 8 became 3rd and 18. Geno took the worst sack imaginable and scrambled his way into a 17-yard loss.

The Lions got the ball back at midfield with 1:44 to go. Goff with the throw over the middle to Josh Reynolds to the 39. Reymond on an end-around gained another first down. Gibbs on the checkdown to the 24. Incomplete to St. Brown to set up 3rd and 7. A checkdown to Gibbs set up Riley Patterson for a tying field

goal from 38 yards out. He got it.

Overtime

The Seahawks won the coin toss. Geno to Fant on play-action got to the 42. A botched screen (what else is new?) was tossed into the dirt. Another pass to Fant gained a few more yards. DK caught the 3rd and 6 throw to Detroit’s 39. Colby Parkinson got open and dashed to the Lions’ 14. Kenneth Walker whirling

dervish’d his way for four yards to the 10. Short throw to Metcalf setting up 3rd and 1 at the Detroit 5. LOCKETT WITH THE CATCH AND JUST BREAKS THE PLANE FOR THE WINNING SCORE!!!

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll’s 5-word Tyler Lockett message after walk-off win over Lions

Story by Dan Fappiano

In their epic battle against the Detroit Lions in Week 2, the Seattle Seahawks earned the opening possession of overtime. It didn’t take long for Tyler Lockett to make his mark on the contest and send the Seahawks home happy.

Geno Smith and the offense were able to drive the ball to the Lions’ six-yard line. Once there, with just under six minutes left in overtime, Lockett caught a touchdown pass from Smith and secured Seattle’s 37-31 victory. Head coach Pete Carroll couldn’t be happier seeing Lockett’s heroics, via Gregg Bell of the

Tacoma News Tribune.

“I hope he plays forever,” Carroll said of Lockett.

While his overtime touchdown catch stole the show, Lockett was a huge contributor for the Seahawks throughout the entire contest. He finished the game with a team-high eight receptions for 59 yards and two touchdowns. The win marked Seattle’s first of the 2023.

Pete Carroll is no stranger to watching Lockett shine. The wide receiver was drafted by Carroll and company back in 2015. He has become a focal point of the offense, earning both a Pro Bowl nod and an All-Pro nomination during his time in Seattle.

While Lockett is going on 32-years-old, Pete Carroll is hoping Tyler Lockett and his playmaking ability never leave Seattle. His performance against the Lions was just a long line of games in which the wide receiver has come up clutch for the Seahawks.

As they continue on throughout the 2023, Carroll will be looking for Lockett to continue his explosive play. If it were up to him, Lockett’s explosiveness would never cease to end.

Pete Carroll drops fire Devon Witherspoon take ahead of Seahawks debut

Story by Mike Cruz

Seattle Seahawks rookie Devon Witherspoon will finally make his debut on Sunday in their NFL Week 2 game versus the Detroit Lions. Asked about Witherspoon’s highly-anticipated debut, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll couldn’t contain his enthusiasm for the 22-year-old.

“We’re really excited for him,” Carroll said. “[Witherspoon] is a real fireball. He’s loving the fact that he finally gets to play. He hasn’t had a shot yet. This is his first game. He’s got to get his feet on the ground, making sure he’s not flying too high because he’s a really fired up kid.”

The Seahawks selected Witherspoon with the fifth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The cornerback failed to make his debut in Seattle’s season opener due to a hamstring injury.

Carroll confirmed on Friday that Witherspoon is good to go and he said that the rookie had a great couple of weeks, even when he was limited with the injury. The coach also added that Witherspoon’s “juice” is obvious whenever he is on the field, which just shows how amped up he is to make his debut.

Witherspoon had an outstanding four-year career at Illinois. In his senior campaign, the Pensacola, Florida native was one of the 12 finalists for the Jim Thorpe award, which was given to the nation’s top defensive back. He won the 2022 Tatum–Woodson Defensive Back of the Year, which honors the top defensive back in the Big Ten Conference.

In 12 games, Witherspoon recorded 738 snaps. He also tallied 32 tackles, seven assists, 16 stops, 14 pass break ups, and three interceptions.

It will be interesting to see how much energy and impact Witherspoon will have in his professional football debut.

Seahawks troll C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Lions by wearing blue ski masks after beating Detroit

Story by Bryan Murphy

In the words of the great Michael Scott, "Oh, how the turntables."

The Seahawks spoiled the Lions' home opener on Sunday with a 37-31 overtime victory in Detroit. Geno Smith found Tyler Lockett for a six-yard touchdown in the extra frame to pick up Seattle's first win of the year and also hand Detroit its first loss of the campaign.

Ford Field was packed for the first home game of the season, as the Detroit faithful showed out for Dan Campbell's crew. For those who saw the crowd in Motor City, a sea of blue ski masks could be seen all around the stadium, thanks to a plea earlier in the week from Lions cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson.

By the end of the game, the masks had been replaced with faces of defeat.

However, there was one notable person wearing a ski mask after the game. He just wasn't a member of the Lions — or one of their fans.

Instead, it was Seahawks safety Jerrick Reed II who somehow got his hands on a blue ski mask and didn't waste the opportunity to troll the opposition after the team's win.

The sixth-round pick in this year's draft left the field with the knitted mask on his face. He then showed off his new clothing accessory in an Instagram post as the Seahawks celebrated the win.

The ski masks are a new feature in Motor City. Gardner-Johnson challenged the Detroit faithful to bring a ski mask to the game Sunday to back up the "villain" mantra that the Lions were going for.

If you gone have a ski mask Sunday quote this 😈

Lions DB C.J. Gardner Johnson said he wants to see blue ski masks everywhere for the Lions home opener on Sunday.

The Lions fans responded and blue ski masks have SOLD OUT on Amazon 😳

Expect Ford Field to be the loudest stadium in the NFL this season. pic.twitter.com/vpUu9uhoDt
— NFL Retweet (@NFLRT) September 13, 2023

"From what I’ve seen, we got probably the most ruthless fans in the game," Gardner-Johnson said about the reason behind the ski masks. "From talking crap, they feed off of us. They yelled the loudest (last week), and that was a home game for KC ... You're gonna see on Sunday. Blue ski masks everywhere.

"We villains, right? It's part of us, it’s just the culture, I’m changing it. We taking what's ours."

Turns out, the only thing the Lions were taking on Sunday were L's, both on and off the field.

By Mookie Alexander @mookiealexander

The Seattle Seahawks (0-1) are in trouble. It’s just one game, but that was as bad a sign about the season to come as you could get for Week 1.

It was a 2nd half collapse of epic proportions on both sides of the ball, as the Seahawks turned a 13-7 halftime lead against the Los Angeles Rams (1-0) to a 27-13 loss. The heavily hyped offense not only lost both Charles Cross and Abe Lucas to injuries, but even when healthy were just not in sync and generally

conservative. Matthew Stafford threw for over 300 yards even without Cooper Kupp, including 119 yards apiece for rookie Puka Nacua and third-year receiver Tutu Atwell.

How bad was the 2nd half on both sides of the ball? At one point the Rams outgained the Seahawks 250-3 (Seattle had 12 yards after one garbage time run). That is not a typo. It was a disgusting showing with key injuries on both sides of the ball. Yes, it’s the Rams, but that looked like a bad team that we were supposed to see for much of 2022.

Geno Smith was just 16/26 for 112 yards and a touchdown, and he wasn’t helped by the offensive line being reduced to Stone Forsythe and Jake Curhan at tackle. Kenneth Walker had 64 yards on 12 carries but Seattle barely possessed the ball and he didn’t have a lot of opportunities to make any plays.

DK Metcalf had the Seahawks’ only touchdown.

We all know that band who we loved as a kid or teenager. The one that released albums you couldn’t stop listening to when you were 13, but now that you’re older some of the songs don’t hit the same. However, there’s just enough of them where you can play them now and still be put back to where you were as a 13-year-old.

Well, Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford and head coach Sean McVay were playing all the hits in Sunday’s 30-13 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, and the Stafford masterpiece was incredibly fun to watch on the film. McVay and Stafford were in tune into everything that the Seahawks were doing, and it was

clear that McVay has a lot of fun dialing up passing designs that he knows Stafford will execute at the highest level, without having to be Madden user’d.

Stafford was locked in at every level of the field, and one of the things McVay would do to pry open holes in the Seahawk defense was use motion as a part of the design. On this big completion to Tutu Atwell, the Rams begin in a 2x2 set, with a tight end on the line of scrimmage. Atwell goes in motion before the

snap, creating a 3x1 with only the lone tight end on the LOS to one side, called a “nub” set. However, the ball is snapped while Atwell is still making his way across, so it essentially becomes kind of like an arena football play. Atwell is really really fast, so giving him a running start on this play is giving the advantage to the Rams.

Now let’s get into the design. The Seahawks are in Quarter-Quarter-Halves defense, and for them when the Rams got into 3x1 sets, they played quarter to the isolated TE side, allowing the backside safety to cut off any over routes that would come across. The Rams know this, so they send Nacua on an over route to

briefly occupy the safety and backside corner. Then, instead of breaking in on this dagger-style of play, WR Van Jefferson breaks towards the sideline, opening a window for Atwell. You can see both safeties’ body language change as Jefferson breaks out, and then Stafford throws this ball through the closing window

for a big play. Stafford was feeling it Sunday.

This is another big completion to Atwell, once again putting him in motion and playing with the Seahawks tendencies and rules. The Rams are in empty, but short motion Atwell into a bunch formation to Stafford’s right. The Seahawks are in Cover 1, but with the bunch, Atwell gets a free release. The Seahawks DB

believes that Atwell is going to run an over route, putting himself in a good trail technique. Then, Atwell breaks back towards the sideline, and Stafford drops it into a bucket. Keep playing those hits, man.

McVay was locked in on Sunday, but Stafford was also playing at an extremely high level. Since acquiring the star QB, McVay has called a lot more hi--lo concepts to allow Stafford to mess with intermediate level defenders using arm angles and eye manipulation. This is a basic hi--lo concept out of a 2x2 formation,

and the Seahawks are in Cover 3. Stafford has to get the underneath defender (#8 for Seattle) to make a decision. If he wants to hit WR Puka Nacua on this play, he has to get the defender to bite on the hook route.

And that’s exactly what happens. Chain moving first down.

You can see it on the end zone angle as well. When Stafford works his way back to the hi--lo, he gives a quick look to the TE, forcing 8 to make a decision. High, high level QB play.

Stafford was using arm angles and subtle pump fakes all game, a sign of a QB who is in the zone. This wheel route to TE Tyler Higbee is a perfect example. From the endzone angle, you can see Stafford do a quick pump fake, then lay this one in the breadbasket.

However, this was my favorite throw of the day for Stafford. Third down and 8, in the fourth quarter. The Rams send Tutu Atwell in motion and run a flood concept to Stafford’s right. Atwell runs a go route to take away the cornerback, but the nickel defender is in a great spot to break this pass up. He’s on the inside,

there’s no way this play is made.

Doesn’t matter. Stafford to Nacua. Chain mover. That’s an F-U throw if I’ve ever seen one.

The Rams are in a weird spot this year, where the talent on the roster might not be strong enough to make the playoff runs we’re used to seeing from them. However, if Stafford and McVay are this in sync, they’re going to be tough to defend for any team that plays them.

DK Metcalf may very well be sending money to the NFL for this shot on Ahkello Witherspoon late in the Seattle Seahawks’ disappointing 30-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Seahawks' Metcalf Defends Cheap Shot; NFL Fine Coming?

In the wake of a cheap shot Sunday that drew a taunting penalty and might result in a fine from the NFL, Seattle Seahawks' receiver DK Metcalf explains that he was merely "blocking."

by RICHIE WHITT

In this story:

Though he did grab a 10-yard touchdown pass that helped Seattle to a 13-7 halftime lead, Metcalf was held to just three catches and 47 yards. His emotions boiled over in the fourth quarter.

With the Seahawks trailing 27-13 with just under five minutes remaining, quarterback Geno Smith hit tight end Colby Parkinson for an 8-yard gain. On the other side of the field - and after the whistle - Metcalf took out his day's frustration with a cheap-shot hit on unsuspecting Rams' cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon.

As Witherspoon was helped off the field by medical personnel, Rams' coach Sean McVay yelled "that's so bad!" toward the officials.

Metcalf was eventually flagged 15 yards for taunting, turning 2nd-and-2 into 2nd-and-17. After consecutive sacks of Smith, the Seahawks faced 4th-and-34 and were forced to punt, effectively ending any faint hopes of a comeback.

After the game, Metcalf attempted to explain - and defend - his hit that will likely draw a fine from the league office.

"Well, I was blocking," Metcalf said. "I guess I blocked him a little too hard and pushed him to the ground, and he got up mad because he felt like I blocked him in the back. But I mean, that’s just how I play. I block every play when I don’t have the ball and I’m never taking a play off or jogging, trying to take a play

off. So that’s what transpired."

In 2022, Metcalf was flagged eight times, including two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and one taunting penalty.

1st Quarter

The Seahawks began the season with the ball on offense. Geno Smith threw a couple of completions to Tyler Lockett, including on 3rd down to move the chains. The next 3rd down was a big gain to the Rams 25 by DK Metcalf on a scramble drill by Smith. Yet again Seattle converted on 3rd down, albeit via defensive

pass interference penalty on Cobie Durant. The next 3rd down was a 3rd and 16 and Smith’s roll and throw to Lockett in the end zone was knocked away. Jason Myers booted a 36-yarder through the uprights.

The first defensive play for the Seahawks was a run stuff by Bobby Wagner on Cam Akers for no gain. From there it was largely positive plays for the Rams, who were in Seahawks territory in no time. A 3rd and 4 conversion with Kyren Williams put the Rams in field goal range. Another 3rd down conversion to Van

Jefferson put the Rams at Seattle’s 25. LA made it 4-for-4 on 3rd down with an open Higbee to set up 1st and goal. Even with 1st and goal from the 17 after a penalty, the Rams still scored with a one-yard touchdown for Kyren Williams. Rookie Puka Nacua made that possible with a 16-yard gain on 2nd and goal, with

a missed pick by Coby Bryant and a bad tackle by Tre Brown.

2nd Quarter

The Seahawks offense responded with an effective mix of positive runs from Ken Walker and short passes from Geno Smith. Rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught a shallow crosser to the 11. Two plays later, to cap off a 12-play, 75-yard drive, Geno found a wide open DK Metcalf after Metcalf smoked Derion Kendrick on a blitz.

A face mask penalty and false start on left tackle Alaric Jackson torpedoed the Rams’ second drive. Sean McVay essentially gave up on 1st and 30 and we saw our first punt. A nice return by DeeJay Dallas set the Seahawks up at midfield. Kenneth Walker set up the Seahawks in field goal range, but that’s as far as

they would go. Jason Myers booted one through from 42 to extend the lead.

It took only three plays for the Rams to set to the Seahawks 40, with Stafford finding Nacua and Brycen Hopkins for consecutive first downs. However, the drive stalled and the Rams went for a 57-yard field goal attempt with Brett Maher. His first kick as a Ram was blocked by Jarran Reed and returned by Mike

Jackson to the Rams 43.

We can get used to this, @Bwagz.

Introducing... Number 54 from Utah State.... BOBBY WAGNER!

It would all be for naught. Seattle got into field goal range but Jason Myers missed from 39 after hitting the upright. Luckily the Rams missed from 56 to head into the locker room, giving us a hat trick of missed field goals.

3rd Quarter

The Rams could’ve at least tied the game if not for a horrible drop by Van Jefferson, who was left alone and only had Diggs to beat in the open field. Seattle wasn’t so lucky when Tutu Atwell got behind the defense for a 44-yard gain to set up 1st and goal at the 8-yard line. Kyren Williams scored two plays later for his second of the afternoon.

Seattle went three-and-out and lost both tackles Charles Cross and Abe Lucas to injury. Not ideal! Again the Rams were able to march down the field easily, primarily off a big catch-and-run by TE Tyler Higbee, who beat new signing Julian Love. Dre’Mont Jones hurried Stafford into an incomplete pass on 3rd down,

forcing a rare 3rd down stop and a Maher field goal to extend the Rams’ lead. Another punt by the Seahawks was compounded by a concussion check for Tyler Lockett.

4th Quarter

Stafford carved up the Seahawks secondary some more and was seldom pressured. Tutu Atwell went for over 100 yards receiving on the day. Just when it looked like the Seahawks forced another field goal attempt, Tre Brown was flagged for illegal use of hands to the face. Julian Love made a clutch pass break-up on 3rd and goal at the 1, but Cam Akers walked in on 4th and goal on the toss.

The offense stalled some more, the defense kept giving up big plays to Tutu Atwell and Puka Nacua. Stafford nearly got Nacua for a touchdown over Riq Woolen, but he overthrew him and the Rams settled for a 54-yard field goal try from Brett Maher. To wrap things up, Maher got one more field goal to close out the scoring.

In the Blue Tunnel,

How Seahawks' DK Metcalf unwinds away from NFL field

The Seahawks' star dives into some of his off-field passions in an exclusive interview.

Author: Paul Silvi

RENTON, Wash. — When DK Metcalf was asked this summer to name who he thinks are the top receivers in the NFL, he left himself off the list.

When KING 5 sat down with DK this summer and asked him to give the favorite highlight from his career so far, he quickly deferred and said he'd rather talk about Tyler Lockett's best catches.

That speaks to the character of the Seahawks' 25-year-old receiver. He may not act like it on the field, but he's as humble as they come off it.

Instead, DK wanted to focus on his off-field passions, including his personal style.

"I think the fashion comes from me just being inspired by other athletes," said Metcalf. "I want to get my feet wet in that area and in that realm that I'm unfamiliar with, so just taking on another challenge and another avenue I think I can be successful in."

Metcalf has hopes of taking all of his skills to the big screen someday. He's been taking acting lessons for the last two years.

"It was difficult at first because I'm a guy who doesn't like to show his emotions off the field," explained Metcalf, who couldn't help but laugh at what he just said. "It's a learning curve I'm steadily getting around, but it's going to be helpful to me."

Metcalf likes the possibility of ending up in a horror movie, although he isn't ready to be slain on screen just yet.

"I would say action first, but then horror. I'm a big horror movie guy. I can scream," he says, as he lets out another big laugh. He said he's not prepared to die in a movie, because, "I can run fast!"

Metcalf and his Seahawks teammates will take the field for the start of training camp on July 26.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith makes decision on Netflix’s ‘Quarterback’

Story by Poch de la Rosa

Seattle Seahawks signal caller Geno Smith won’t appear on Season 2 of the highly-acclaimed Netflix sports documentary “Quarterback.”

Although Smith gave the first season of the show rave reviews, he confirmed he won’t accept a role in the much-anticipated sequel next year, per Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio.

“I thought it was cool, I thought all the guys did a great job; I was happy more people got insight into the life of a quarterback and our jobs,” Smith said on Thursday. “This is a hard job; but if you don’t see what we do, it gets taken for granted.”

When reporters asked Smith if he will appear in Season 2 of ‘Quarterback,’ he didn’t hesitate.

“No, I’m not,” Smith said.

Seahawks unveils throwback uniforms for 2023 with epic video

Story by Ryan Bologna

The Seattle Seahawks are taking advantage of the NFL rule that allows them to wear different helmets throughout the season, as they revealed their throwback uniforms from the 90s in a video featuring rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Seahawks Throwback Jersey reveal video with Jaxon Smith Njigba, Tyler Lockett and Geno Smith.

The throwback uniforms are getting rave reviews from Seahawks fans, and many of them have been asking the team to bring them back for a while now.

It will be interesting to see what games the Seahawks wear these uniforms in, and if the paint on the field will be different at all.

The Seahawks are coming off of a successful 2022 season, in which they surprised the league and made the playoffs. After trading Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos, expectations were not high. Geno Smith’s comeback player of the year campaign was a huge part of the trip to the playoffs that ended with a loss

to the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card round.

Pete Carroll’s team is hoping to build off of the successful 2022 season. The addition of Jaxon Smith-Njigba to the wide receiver room alongside DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. Smith-Njigba was viewed by many as the best receiver in the draft this year. DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are already quality receivers that

Geno Smith has at his disposal.

It will be interesting to see how the Seahawks fare this season, as they try to follow up on a surprising season. There are real expectations to contend for a playoff spot now, Seattle will not sneak up on anybody.

We can expect to get the chance to see the Seahawks actually get to play in these come Week 8 when the Cleveland Browns come to town. Additionally, the team may be wearing these again in Week 13 when they travel to Texas to take on the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football. But we wont have to wait

that long to see some of the guys donning the gear! Quandre Diggs took to Twitter and TikTok to show off some matching cleats, which I for one absolutely love.

The obligatory ‘photoshop a player into uniform’ moment happened, but this time I am actually totally okay with it.

Marshawn Lynch remains a walking meme at MLB Home Run Derby

Marshawn Lynch remains a walking meme at MLB Home Run Derby

Story by Kristen Wong

Seattle saw one of the state’s greatest sports stars, Marshawn Lynch, make an appearance at the MLB Home Run Derby. Iconic is as iconic does.

Seattle Seahawks legend Marshawn Lynch came, saw, and conquered at the MLB 2023 Home Run Derby on Monday. This year’s All-Star week was being hosted by Seattle at T-Mobile Park, and the former Seahawks running back couldn’t resist having some fun at the glorified sports event.

Lynch proudly sauntered onto the field with the Home Run Derby trophy in hand prior to the competition, lifting the brass for all of Seattle to see as if to say: Look. Look at the Lombardi Trophy I could have won if they had just given me the d— ball.

But alas, the main sport of the day was baseball, not football, and Mets’ Pete Alonso, Blue Jays’ Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Mariners’ Julio Rodriguez were among the participants of the annual Home Run Derby. Let the games begin.

Amid the cheerful festivities of the derby, Lynch seemed less interested in watching the MLB’s most powerful sluggers go to work and more interested in… stealing swag.

Not long after the derby began, a video circulated of Lynch acting sketchy on the field. Lynch weaved between reporters and cameramen with his pockets stuffed with baseballs, walking cautiously as if he expected security guards to pop out of nowhere and arrest him for stealing said balls.

On his way out, Lynch was nice enough to stop and sign some memorabilia for kids — or was it all just part of the act?

Who knows. Some Twitter users thought Lynch was America’s most relatable sports star, others thought he was just a plain weirdo. Take a look and decide for yourself:

Oh yeah, and he also snatched up a pillow presumably given to members of the All-Star team and hid it under his shirt. The baseballs, the pillow, some other random merch: Lynch appeared to be pulling off some kind of secret robbery, and he had a hell of a time doing it. From Beast Mode to Heist Mode, Lynch sure

knew how to make a name for himself.

The five-time Pro-Bowler has made headlines in the past as any rambunctious, high-energy football player would. His most famous meme may be the one during the Seahawks’ Super Bowl media session in 2015 when he notoriously commented, “I’m here so I won’t get fined.”

Seems like Lynch has money on his mind lately, too, based on the way he was smuggling items out of T-Mobile Park. Hope he gets a good night’s sleep on that pillow.

During the Major League Baseball All-Star festivities on Monday night at T-Mobile Park, Lynch was honored before an adoring crowd.

Lynch, who was the No. 12 pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, started his career with the Buffalo Bills.

It has now been nine years since the Seattle Seahawks won their first and only Super Bowl championship, and it is something the natives of Washington State will never forget. Although it was their “Legion of Boom” defense that led the way, arguably their biggest star was running back Marshawn Lynch. During the Major […]

Seahawks QB Geno Smith’s Michael Jordan reaction to ESPN rankings snub

Story by DJ Foster

Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith shocked the world last season, winning the 2022 AP Comeback Player of the Year award after an incredible campaign. But was Smith’s banner year enough to have him join the rankings as one of the elite quarterbacks in the NFL?

At least according to an ESPN panel comprised of NFL executives, coaches, and scouts, Smith may need to have a “prove it year” before he reaches that status, as the 32-year-old didn’t receive an honorable mention or a single vote for the Top-10 list.

Smith, who is never afraid to call out something he feels is bogus, had the perfect Michael Jordan-inspired response queued up, via Seahawks Wire.

@GenoSmith3

The GIF from “The Last Dance”, a documentary detailing Michael Jordan’s legacy and career, has some context attached to it. Not unlike MJ, Smith may like to draw some inspiration from perceived snubs, and being left off ESPN’s Top-10 QB list this offseason certainly qualifies.

Smith was one of the best quarterbacks in the league last year, as he led the NFL in completion percentage (69.8 percent) and threw for nearly 4300 yards and 30 touchdowns. Despite having started only five games in the previous six seasons, Smith showed no signs of rust and was rewarded handsomely by the

Seahawks with a three-year, $75 million contract extension this offseason.

Smith has earned plenty of praise from his Seahawks teammates, and the organization has cleared the way for him to put on a repeat performance this year. The Seahawks added more weapons for Smith offensively in the draft, selecting highly-regarded wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first round out of

Ohio State and UCLA running back Zach Charbonnet in the second round to supplement an already dangerous skill group.

If Geno Smith can put up big numbers again and lead the Seahawks to postseason success, he’ll be climbing the rankings before he knows it.

NFL world buzzing over Seattle Seahawks uniforms announcement

Story by Chris Novak

The Seattle Seahawks are going retro. On Monday, the team teased that they would reveal an iconic throwback uniform to their jersey collection this week. Seattle announced that they would turn back the clock on Wednesday and sport their original threads.

“Throwbacks. 8:32 am. Wednseday,” the Seahawks tweeted. The team posted a fun video featuring a definite retro vibe, with posts of Dave Krieg, Steve Largent, as well as dial-up internet, a lava lamp, and many other retro items.

The video made the rounds and received almost unanimously favorable attention. The Seahawks haven’t worn these uniforms since they ditched them after the 2001 season. Seattle wore an all-blue home look for a while until it revamped after the 2011 season to its current look. Their current threads are most

memorable for being the ones they wore when they won Super Bowl XLVIII in 2013.

That jersey, though, is a great look that might look even better nowadays. The advent of more functional TV cameras with sharper images might make that old blue and grey pop like it never has before. Especially with the backdrop of Lumen Field as opposed to the Kingdome. Although, they did once play at Husky

Stadium while Lumen Field was being built. So the jersey will make its third trip to a third different stadium in Seattle.

"Get on Rookie, Seahawks 2023 Season is where were Going!!"

Seahawks Ex Luke Willson Details Harsh Reasons For Abrupt Retirement

Story by Corbin K. Smith

In one of the most bizarre career endings imaginable, popular veteran tight end Luke Willson re-joined the Seattle Seahawks during training camp prior to the 2021 season, only to announce his retirement less than 24 hours later.

At the time, while he cited a prior health scare as factoring into his decision to step away, Willson's 180 degree turn baffled fans. But two years later, guest starring on the KJ All Day Podcast with former teammate K.J. Wright, he revealed additional details that made his decision far more understandable.

As Willson explained to Wright, the Seahawks reached out with interest in signing him towards the tail end of training camp and the preseason. But there was a catch.

After rushing in for a physical, signing his contract, and playing in the preseason finale, the team would cut him and then re-sign him to their practice squad with the promise he would be active for the season opener.

While such shenanigans may be viewed as cold-hearted, especially for a player and leader like Willson who had spent most of his career in Seattle as a reliable all-around tight end, these procedures aren't abnormal for signing aging veterans in training camp. By releasing him before the start of the season, the

organization wouldn't be on the hook for any guaranteed money, and bringing him back on the practice squad would provide invaluable veteran depth with COVID-19 protocols still in place.

Initially, the then-31-year-old Willson was on board with going through the charade. Even after being in the emergency room earlier in the offseason with an undisclosed heart issue, his heart was set on playing football, and he valued the opportunity to play for the Seahawks again before calling it a career.

However, after playing for two Super Bowl teams in the Pacific Northwest and participating in 11 playoff games with Seattle, it didn't take Willson more than a couple of hours on the practice field to realize the current squad wasn't going anywhere.

"I stroll into that practice," Willson said. "And this is the part I never told anyone - that was the worst practice I've ever seen anywhere I've been."

In a rapid reversal, after being welcomed back less than 24 hours earlier, Willson announced his retirement the next day through a statement on his social media accounts. At the time, he referenced his health concerns and a changed perspective as the main reasons for hanging up his cleats.

Thanking the Seahawks organization, fans, and those in his hometown of LaSalle, Ontario for their support throughout his NFL career, Willson wrote that he reached his decision "after reflecting on everything yesterday and being in the building."

Following his candid interview with Wright, that statement from Willson nearly two years ago has taken on a whole new meaning.

According to Willson, it only took one practice for it to become clear to him that this incarnation of the Seahawks lacked the heart of their predecessors. Dismayed by what he saw on the field, given everything he had endured in the offseason, he made the choice to walk away rather than put his body on the line for

a team that he didn't expect to compete for a playoff spot.

Unfortunately for 12s, Willson's intuition proved to be correct. While quarterback Russell Wilson going down with a finger injury in Week 5 and missing three games contributed to Seattle's last place finish in the NFC West, coach Pete Carroll's squad stumbled to a 7-10 finish, suffering double-digit losses for the first

time since 2009.

Luke Willson Shares Every Detail Of The Final Play Of Super Bowl 49

Luke Willson breaks down what happened on the last Seahawks drive against the Patriots in Super Bowl 49.

Luke also shares that the offense practiced a goal line play designed for Marshawn Lynch the week before the Super Bowl. The play would've had Marshawn as the full back in a wedge play from the half yard line.

"At this point in my life, I was not gonna put my body, my mind, and my soul [on the line] for a team that eventually went 7-10, but had the attitude of a 4-12 team," Willson said.

Thankfully, better days laid ahead for the Seahawks, as Carroll and general manager John Schneider quickly went to work overhauling their roster with the aim of returning the franchise to their previous winning ways.

In the aftermath of that dismal campaign, Seattle shipped Wilson to Denver in a blockbuster trade and released All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner in a cap-related maneuver, leading many to believe the franchise was heading into a long, dark rebuild. Instead, with Geno Smith at the controls and an outstanding 2022

draft class, the team wound up winning nine games and earning an unexpected wild card berth.

Having played with the quarterback in 2019 and 2020 when he served as a backup for Wilson, Willson was blown away by what he saw from Smith on the practice field, leaving him to wonder why he was a backup and not starting elsewhere.

"The day Geno Smith showed up in Seattle, I was like 'This cat is different,'" Willson recalled. "His first couple weeks here, I'm like 'What's the matter with him?' There's got to be something the matter with Geno because he's a backup."

But as he continued to get to know Smith on and off the field, it became apparent to Willson that none of the perceived narratives surrounding the quarterback after a failed stint as a starter with the Jets added up. He saw a signal caller with a strong, accurate arm, underrated athleticism, a strong football IQ, and

an excellent presence in the locker room, and considering those tools he had seen on display himself, he was one of the few who expected big things from him.

Calling himself Nostradamus, and for good reason, Willson referenced tweeting that Smith would "ball out" as Seattle's new starter last season. Once again, this time to the delight of fans, he was dead on, as the ex-West Virginia star earned Comeback Player of the Year honors and made his first Pro Bowl after

throwing 30 touchdown passes and leading the NFL with a near-70 percent completion rate.

Only a few years ago, the Seahawks looked to be in a steep decline and Willson sensed that first-hand on the practice field, choosing to exit stage left rather than play for a mediocre team. With a different perspective now from the outside looking in, he senses a far different vibe with Smith under center, a bevy of

weapons around him, and a young, talented foundation on both sides of the ball, which should excite fans for 2023 and beyond.

Marshawn Lynch is starring in a queer ‘American Pie’ style comedy from the makers of ‘Cocaine Bear’

Yes, this is real — and it’s SPECTACULAR.

By James Dator

We learned earlier this year that Marshawn Lynch would be making his Hollywood debut, but even knowing that we weren’t ready for what happened on Tuesday when Lynch dropped the trailer for Bottoms.

The team behind the movie made Pitch Perfect and Cocaine Bear, so you know EXACTLY where this one is falling tonally. The movie itself is a mash-up of some wild source material judging from the trailer and press releases.

At its heart Bottoms is about two queer high school students who start a fight club in order to have sex before graduation. So it’s a little bit like American Pie and Fight Club, but there are also elements of Heathers in this too — and lots of blood, and Marshawn reading a copy of “Divorced & Happy” magazine.

Lynch serves as the teen’s fight club instructor, which is the part he was born to play. Already this is looking like it has potential to be very good, and certainly much better than Brett Favre in There’s Something About Mary.
