The Seattle Seahawks are 5-2 and tied atop the NFC West entering their bye week. What's on your mind?

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

1. JSN is currently the NFL’s best receiver

2. Mike Macdonald once again has an elite defense.

And they’re still not satisfied

“We can be better.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/673...
New story: On the quiet confidence of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the NFL’s leading receiver.

JSN has always believed that no one can guard him. Now he’s proving it. www.nytimes.com/athletic/672...

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

Seattle’s Week 6 win over the Jags was the latest example. www.nytimes.com/athletic/671...
New story: The Seahawks’ offense is rolling. It’s one of the best and most explosive units in the league.

Still, there’s a question: How is this gonna go if Seattle doesn’t have a reliable run game? www.nytimes.com/athletic/671...

New story, from Jaxonville:

A silent EverBank Stadium. “SEA-HAWKS” chants in the tunnel. An MVP declaration. A new WR1 crowned.

Mike Macdonald’s team did again away from home.

“It sounded like we took over the stands.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/671...
Darnold, Smith-Njigba spark another Seahawks road victory: 'We travel heavy'
www.nytimes.com
New: The Seahawks are likely to be without Devon Witherspoon, Riq Woolen and Julian Love vs the Jags.

Seattle hasn’t had its starting secondary at full strength since the first quarter of Week 1, and that only lasted 5 snaps. www.nytimes.com/athletic/670...
Seahawks DBs Devon Witherspoon, Julian Love, Riq Woolen doubtful vs. Jaguars

🚨 NEW ‘Seahawks Man 2 Man’ pod 🚨

Live now (YouTube only): Standout plays from Seahawks-Bucs!

🏈 Seattle’s run game works….when the execution is there.

🏈 Nick Emmanwori’s full-game debut. We looked at how the rookie performed in multiple areas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtJw...
New story: The Seahawks went all-in on JSN as their No. 1 option in the pass game, and that bet is paying off.

They entered the year with questions about who’d be JSN’s co-star. Now we have an answer.

AJ Barner. www.nytimes.com/athletic/670...
New story: Was the Seahawks’ disastrous day on defense an outlier or a sign of something more?

Depends on the pass rush. Seattle can survive shuffling its secondary but only if the front line comes alive — and they were dead vs the Bucs. www.nytimes.com/athletic/669...
Why the Seahawks’ defensive woes from Sunday might not be so easy to solve
Seattle has navigated injuries in the secondary before, but a depleted pass rush could create more difficult problems to solve.

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

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

On another “unacceptable” loss at Lumen. www.nytimes.com/athletic/669...

New story: A new era of Seahawks defense is in full swing and Ernest Jones IV is right where he belongs.

In the front, leading the franchise through the fire.

“I owe Seattle everything, and this is home for me. I want it to be my home the rest of my career.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/668...

Live now (YouTube only): Standout Plays from Week 4!

On offense: TE AJ Barner working in the trenches + continuing to be a reliable red zone guy

On Defense: Julian Love flying around to keep Trey McBride in check youtu.be/E_45OAp3qq0?...
New story: The Seahawks have one of the NFL’s best defenses, and a potential logjam in the defensive back room that needs to be sorted out.

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

They're not necessarily in trouble yet but that's really the only major flaw in what has otherwise been a great start for the 3-1 Seahawks. www.nytimes.com/athletic/667...
New: Sam Darnold is playing “out of his mind,” JSN is producing like a star and the Seahawks have now won 3 straight thanks in large part to the chemistry between WR1 and QB1. www.nytimes.com/athletic/666...

New story: On Seahawks QB Sam Darnold, who thru 3 games is completing 70% of his passes and averaging 9 yards per attempt.

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