Whew! The Seattle Seahawks (11-3) needed six field goals to beat the Philip Rivers led Indianapolis Colts (8-6) in a game that was way too close for comfort. Seattle did not get into the end zone but didn’t need to, as Jason Myers became the first Seahawks kicker to make six field goals in a

game. His 56-yarder with :18 left gave the Seahawks a dramatic 18-16 win, less than a minute after Colts kicker Blake Grupe made a miraculous 60-yard field goal that looked to give Indy a shocking win on the road.

Philip Rivers tried his darnedest at 44 years old but dadgummit his defense let him down at the end.

A Historic day for Jason Myers.

The Colts and Philip Rivers got the ball first, getting a couple of first downs along the way. Rivers completed just one of four passes and Seattle forced a punt. The Seahawks were backed up in their own territory and went three-and-out following two ineffective runs and a throw short of the

sticks to Cooper Kupp (with a penalty negating any successful play). Indianapolis put together an 11-play, 41-yard drive with Ameer Abdullah getting involved over Jonathan Taylor. Blake Grupe kicked a field goal to make it 3-0 Colts.

Two passes by Darnold to Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed immediately put Seattle into field goal range, but two more ineffective runs led to the end of the drive. Anthony Bradford tried to pull on 3rd and 4 and Kenneth Walker tripped over him. Jason Myers banged one through from 47 to

make it 3-3 to end the opening quarter.

Following a Colts punt, a rare Jaxon Smith-Njigba drop and then a sloppy offside penalty on A.J. Barner wrecked the next Seahawks drive. Sam Darnold was sacked by Laiatu Latu after a bad pass pro rep by Zach Charbonnet, and a weak Michael Dickson punt gifted the Colts a short field. On

4th and 1 in field goal range, the Colts went for it and Jonathan Taylor was stuffed… but the Colts false started. Indy opted for a long Blake Grupe field goal and he drilled it from 57. 6-3 Colts.

As the Seahawks offense struggled, the Colts were able to extend the lead to stun the Lumen Field crowd some more. Philip Rivers hit a nice seam pass to Tyler Warren and continued to eat up the Seahawks with short stuff. Jonathan Taylor didn’t hit explosive runs but had positive yards on

virtually every touch. A 3rd down throw to Josh Downs across the middle beat Josh Jobe and resulted in a touchdown. 13-3 Colts.

Seattle was able to score before halftime in the two-minute drill, just like last week against the Atlanta Falcons. Some curious officiating saw Jaxon Smith-Njigba not get a pass interference call in his favor and then the Colts seemingly got away with delay of game as they kept trying to force a

fumble after the play was over. Nevertheless, Jason Myers still kicked a field goal to make the score 13-6 Colts at the half.

The Seahawks added to the scoreboard to open the second half but once again it was only a field goal. Sam Darnold converted 4th and short to A.J. Barner after hanging in the pocket long enough for a receiver to come open. Seattle wouldn’t advance much further, and a long throw to Rashid

Shaheed was incomplete with no flag on the play despite Shaheed’s protestations. Jason Myers made his third field goal of the day to cut the deficit to 13-9 Colts.

After punts were exchanged by offenses struggling to get going in terms of explosive plays, the Seahawks finally got going. Play action to Rashid Shaheed gained 28 yards, and on a crucial 3rd down it was Darnold to JSN for another 28 into the red zone. As the 4th quarter began, the

Seahawks had an ineffective Charbonnet run, a pass to Kenneth Walker for minimal gain, and an incomplete throw to Cooper Kupp. Another field goal for Jason Myers. 13-12 Colts with 13:24 to go.

An iffy pass interference penalty on Josh Jobe extended Indy’s drive instead of a three-and-out. After getting close to field goal range, a screen pass to Ameer Abdullah was blown up and the Seahawks got the ball back on the ensuing punt. Backed up inside their own 10, it was mostly the

aerial attack that got Seattle going. Jaxon Smith-Njigba broke a tackle and raced for 39 yards to clear 100 yards for the afternoon. But once again, the Seahawks stalled in the red zone and threw clock-stopping incomplete passes to save time for the Colts. Jason Myers’ fifth field goal provided

the Seahawks their first lead at 15-13 with 2:27 to go.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba broke a tackle and raced for 39 yards

 jaxon smith-njigba is like calm water

Looks familiar... BAM.

It’s Philip Rivers with a chance to win the game. A tale as old as time. His first play was to handoff to Taylor for three yards from his own 32. Pressure by Leonard Williams forced Rivers into a throwaway to bring up 3rd and 7. Back shoulder throw to Alec Pierce for 16 yards with Josh Jobe in

coverage. A run blitz by the Seahawks stymied Jonathan Taylor for no gain. A short throw to Tyler Warren set up 3rd and 8. Seattle used two of its three timeouts in this scenario. On 3rd and 7, Taylor was stopped short of the first down and the Seahawks used their final timeout. Blake Grupe

came on for the possible winning field goal from 60 yards and he MADE IT. 16-15 Colts with :47 left.

Rashid Shaheed returned the kickoff to his own 37 with :42 to go. Shaheed with the catch into Colts territory. Darnold spikes the ball with :28 left. Sideline throw to Shaheed and the Seahawks are just about in field goal range with :25 to go. A 3rd and 2 throw is dirted by Darnold. It’s Jason

Myers from 56 yards out… GOOD!!! 18-16 Seahawks with :18 left.

Seattle kicked it deep and the return was brought to the Indianapolis 30 and took seven seconds off the clock. Rivers throws AND COBY BRYANT SEALS THE GAME WITH AN INTERCEPTION! SEAHAWKS WIN!

The big one. A rematch with the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday, Dec. 18 at 5:15 pm PT on Prime Video. Lumen Field will be rocking.

It’s hard to believe the Seattle Seahawks (10-3) were tied at halftime with the Atlanta Falcons (4-9). But that’s why there’s a 2nd half, and the Seahawks went into overdrive and officially eliminated the Falcons from playoff contention.

What was a 6-6 game at the break became a 37-9 annihilation by the end of the fourth quarter. Sam Darnold overcame a shaky start, including a bad interception on 3rd and 1 in his own territory, to throw three touchdowns after halftime. Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught a pair of those scores,

while Cooper Kupp got his second TD of the season. It was a surprisingly pass-heavy approach by Klint Kubiak that didn’t look like it was working early, but shined by the end.

Seattle’s special teams also showed up huge with Nick Emmanwori blocking a field goal following Darnold’s INT, while Rashid Shaheed opened the 2nd half with a 100-yard kick return for his first Seahawks touchdown.

The defense? Well, what more can be said? Emmanwori and Devon Witherspoon both recorded interceptions, Witherspoon recovered a critical Bijan Robinson fumble early in the third quarter, Emmanwori had Seattle’s only sack of Kirk Cousins, and the Seahawks did not allow a touchdown for

the second consecutive week.

This team has played its fair share of bad opposition but they are crushing bad opposition like contenders should do.

The Falcons started on offense in front of a pretty sparse crowd at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Bijan Robinson touched the ball on four straight plays, including a couple of first downs via pass and run. Once he went out of the game, Atlanta gained zero yards on two Kirk Cousins throws and had to punt.

Seattle’s first drive ended in a three-and-out, and it could’ve been a lot worse had Sam Darnold not stepped up just in time to avoid getting sacked in the end zone for a safety. After getting dropped at the 1, Michael Dickson had to punt from his own end zone backline and Atlanta obviously

had great field position. A play-action throw to Kyle Pitts put the Falcons in the red zone, but the drive stalled from there. Raheem Morris opted to have Zane Gonzalez kick a field goal instead of go for it on 4th and 3, which is alright with me. 3-0 Falcons.

The Seahawks’ lone first quarter score came after a 27-yard run by Zach Charbonnet, who jump cut inside and then broke outside for one of his longest runs of the season. Jaxon Smith-Njigba fumbled a would-be first down out of bounds, which set up 4th and 1, and the Falcons graciously

jumped offside on the A.J. Barner tush push. A possible TD to JSN was out of bounds after a great play by A.J. Terrell, and Jason Myers came on to knot things up at 3-3.

In the second quarter, Sam Darnold threw his 11th interception of the season on a ridiculous 3rd and 1 decision into tight coverage. Mike Hughes caught the deflected pass for his first INT since 2021.

Thankfully, the Falcons had a -2 yard drive and Nick Emmanwori came through with a clutch block on Zane Gonzalez’s 50-yard field goal attempt.

Seattle’s offense continued to struggle, going three-and-out after this awesome play by the rookie. The Falcons had a chance to score before halftime and appeared to have a go-ahead touchdown to Darnell Mooney. However, the officials deemed Mooney to have stepped out of bounds and he

did not re-establish himself back inbounds at the time he caught the touchdown. The end result was an incomplete pass and a field goal by Zane Gonzalez to make it 6-3 Falcons.

The Seahawks leveled things up at the half in a one-minute drill. Jason Myers hit from 48 yards out to make it 6-6 at the break. Seattle took themselves out of touchdown contention early by draining a ton of time off the clock on a 3rd and 1 sneak, but otherwise managed the actual goal of

getting a field goal quite well.

BANG! Rashid Shaheed with a 100-yard kick return to the house! First touchdown as a Seahawk! 13-6 Seahawks.

The Falcons immediately marched into Seahawks territory through Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson. On 3rd and 1, Bijan carried for a first down but lost the ball after Jarran Reed knocked it loose with his clubbed hand. Devon Witherspoon had the recovery.

The Seahawks punished Atlanta to the fullest extent. Jaxon Smith-Njigba hit two explosive plays off of play action, and he smoked A.J. Terrell for a 28-yard touchdown. It’s the first touchdown Terrell has allowed all season. 20-6 Seahawks.

How 'bout that?! 28 yards for the score. #ProBowlVote + @jaxon_smith1

PICK! Next possession leads to another turnover. Devon Witherspoon was in tight coverage on Kyle Pitts, who couldn’t bring Kirk Cousins’ pass in. Nick Emmanwori was on the spot for his first career interception.

That’s defense speaking. #ProBowlVote + @Eman7Nick

Seattle turned this into a field goal to make it 23-6 Seahawks.

The Falcons drove into the red zone again and despite a lot of success throughout the year in the red zone, they clearly didn’t have anything for the Seahawks defense. Atlanta kicked a field goal to cut it to 23-9 Seahawks to start the fourth quarter.

Made it look too easy. TOUCHDOWN. #ProBowlVote + @CooperKupp

Atlanta was busy kicking field goals, the Seahawks offense was busy scoring touchdowns. The Falcons kicked the ball out of bounds, gifting the ball to Seattle at the 40. It took only six plays to pay off the short field with a Darnold touchdown to Cooper Kupp on a rub route. 30-9 Seahawks.

Did someone ask for another pick? Sure, maybe the Seahawks can ‘Spoon’ one out for you!

Another short field? Another touchdown. Great throw by Darnold in a tight window and with pressure in his face. JSN beat Terrell again for the final points of the game. 37-9 Seahawks.

Kirk Cousins and company had their own great field position inside midfield following a big kick return, only to squander many Seahawks penalties and stall out for a turnover on downs. Darnell Mooney couldn’t hang on for a garbage time TD, as Ty Okada broke the pass up. Seattle ran most of

the remaining clock out, with Velus Jones Jr getting a 25-yard carry after getting that practice squad call-up. It was that kind of emphatic 2nd half mauling by the Seahawks.

The Seahawks return home to take on the Indianapolis Colts (8-5), who have not only lost four out of five, they’ve also lost Daniel Jones to an Achilles injury and will likely turn to Riley Leonard quarterback next week. CBS has the kickoff at 1:25 pm PT on Sunday, Dec. 14.

The Seattle Seahawks (9-3) have pulled up alongside the Los Angeles Rams (9-3) in the NFC West race.

After seeing the Rams lose a stunner to the Carolina Panthers, the Seahawks took care of business at home by shutting out the Minnesota Vikings (4-8) in a 26-0 romp. The scoreline is unfair to the Vikings defense, who gave Seattle’s offensive line and Sam Darnold all sorts of problems,

sacking Darnold four times and forcing a turnover on a lost fumble. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was held to just two catches for 23 yards, which is a huge blow in his quest for Calvin Johnson’s receiving yards record. Seattle only had one offensive touchdown, 219 total yards of offense, under 100 net

yards passing, but it didn’t matter one bit outside of looking for a historic blowout.

 

Just three weeks ago, DeMarcus Lawrence returned two fumbles for touchdowns and was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for that performance.

 

Seattle’s defense made third-string undrafted rookie quarterback Max Brosmer’s first NFL start an absolute miserable experience. He was picked off four times, including a wildly bad pick-six thrown to Ernest Jones IV on 4th and 1 to avoid a sack. Minnesota turned it over five times and even

with garbage time only managed 162 yards of total offense.

It’s the Seahawks’ first shutout win in 10 years, having previously won by the same score against the Chicago Bears.

The Vikings started on offense first with their rookie QB Max Brosmer. A three-and-out was taken away after Josh Jobe’s holding penalty negated a Uchenna Nwosu sack. Tough for Chenna to lose a sack, because Leonard Williams sacked Brosmer on the next third down without a flag.

Seattle was backed up at its own 4 after a poor fair catch decision by Rashid Shaheed. First downs by Kenneth Walker III, A.J. Barner, and Cooper Kupp got the Seahawks out of a hole, but a 3rd and long blitz by the Vikings ended in a sack by linebacker Eric Wilson.

The Vikings and Seahawks traded punts throughout the opening quarter, with Seattle’s offensive line struggling to deal with Brian Flores’ creative pressure and sim pressure packages. Seattle did get the opening points of the day on a 15-play, 53-yard drive that was saved by Cooper Kupp.

When Darnold was strip-sacked by Dallas Turner, Kupp recovered the ball. Darnold found an open Cody White on 3rd and long to move the sticks.

Darnold was sacked a third time to kill a red zone possession, but Jason Myers was on point to make it 3-0 Seahawks.

Minnesota knew it needed its defense to generate takeaways in order to have a chance. Another sack of Darnold led to a fumble, which Minnesota recovered in Seattle’s red zone. Total disaster and another turnover by the Seahawks this year!

Points for the Vikings incoming, right? Nope. Not when Max Brosmer completely brain farts into the funniest pick-six of the year. DeMarcus Lawrence blew up 4th and 1 and instead of Brosmer taking the sack, he gave Ernest Jones IV a pick-six. 10-0 Seahawks.

Lawrence would get a sack on Minnesota’s next drive. Curiously, the Seahawks were not interested in using any of their three timeouts to conserve time for their two-minute drill. They still got a long Jason Myers field goal from 56 yards out to make it 13-0 Seahawks at halftime.

54 yards jaymy31 Good

Kenneth Walker III nearly took the first play of the second half to the house. He gained 24 yards but it could’ve been 80 yards if Harrison Smith didn’t grab Walker’s right arm to knock him off balance. Walker did most of the heavy lifting and it led to another Seahawks field goal. Jason Myers

was good from 54 to extend the lead to 16-0 Seahawks.

Max Brosmer finally connected on a big play by finding T.J. Hockenson down the seam for 29 yards. With Minnesota just about in field goal range, Aaron Jones was stripped from behind by DeMarcus Lawrence on a ridiculous hustle play. Lawrence was 10 yards behind Jones when the ball was

caught, but he tracked him down and forced the fumble, which Ty Okada recovered for the takeaway.

 

 

The Seahawks again settled for a field goal, although at least Jaxon Smith-Njigba got on board with his first catch of the game for a whopping six yards. 19-0 Seahawks after Myers’ fourth field goal of the afternoon.

Pick! Coby Bryant took advantage of Max Brosmer’s overthrow for Seattle’s third takeaway of the game, a season high.

Yeah, the Seahawks punted. Yeah, they got the ball back. Another interception by Ernest Jones IV, giving him five on the year and four Seahawks turnovers.

This time, the Seahawks cashed in to the fullest. A 4th and 1 conversion to A.J. Barner gave Seattle a new set of downs, and Zach Charbonnet took off for a 17-yard score for Seattle’s first offensive touchdown of the afternoon. 26-0 Seahawks.

The Vikings were determined not to get blanked. Brosmer threw another pick, this time to Riq Woolen, whose hilariously bad ball security on the return led to a fumble directly back to Minnesota.

Nevertheless, Brosmer was sacked by Byron Murphy II and Drake Thomas on the next possession, ending any hopes of scoring on the afternoon.

The Seahawks go back on the road in Week 14 for a matchup with the Atlanta Falcons (4-8), who just lost to the New York Jets and are effectively out of the playoff picture by any realistic measure. Kickoff time is 10 am PT on FOX on Sunday, Dec. 7.

The Seattle Seahawks (8-3) took care of the Tennessee Titans (1-10), but perhaps not as easily as fans or maybe Mike Macdonald would’ve liked.

Leads of 23-3 and 30-10 became a 30-24 victory in Nashville. While the last touchdown came with little time remaining and an unsuccessful onside kick, the Seahawks could’ve definitely made life easier for themselves with better 4th down defense, better 4th quarter offense, and better special teams punt return coverage.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba once again dominated, recording 8 catches for 167 yards and 2 touchdowns to continue his all-time great season. He’s now Seattle’s all-time single-season leader in receiving yards, having surpassed DK Metcalf’s 1,303 yards. Zach Charbonnet scored Seattle’s final touchdown, while Jason Myers banged

home three field goals.

The defense sacked Cam Ward four times and shut down the run game, but there were many heads-up plays by Ward that explain why he was the No. 1 overall pick this year. He escaped would-be sacks and repeatedly made impressive plays in the face of huge pressure. Alas, it wasn’t enough but he was valiant in defeat.

Seattle’s defense only allowed 17 points, with the other 7 coming on a punt return score.

Hey, there were no turnovers by the Seahawks. I guess that’s good! But the bad? Injuries to Ty Okada, Chazz Surratt, and George Holani, all of whom were ruled out for the game by halftime. There were also way too many penalties, with 21 accepted (11 on Seattle, 10 on Tennessee) combined.

By the way, the trend continues. Nine games between the Seahawks and the modern day Titans, nine games decided by one possession.

JSN’s 63 YARDS TD CATCH

The Titans hadn’t scored an opening drive touchdown all season, but they came very close this week. Cam Ward made a couple of plays with his legs on scrambles, as well as turn a certain sack into a terrific throw to Chig Okonkwo for 10 yards and a first down. Ward got the Titans into a goal-to-go, only for DeMarcus

Lawrence to drill Tyjae Spears for a big loss that set Tennessee back. Cam took a sack on 3rd and goal and the Titans kicked a chip shot 22-yard field goal. 3-0 Titans.

Seattle found itself in Titans territory after one play, with Kenneth Walker running for nine yards behind Charles Cross and Grey Zabel blocks. A personal foul penalty added another 15 to make it net 24 yards. Seattle methodically moved into field goal range before Sam Darnold was nearly picked off on a throw to Kenneth

Walker. It would’ve easily been a touchdown had it been caught by Marcus Harris. Jason Myers tied things up at 3-3.

After a Titans punt, the Seahawks got good field position off of a 20-yard Rashid Shaheed punt return. On 3rd and 1, the Seahawks committed a false start on a sneak. No problem, for the next play was a touchdown for Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Darnold to JSN for 63 yards!

Tennessee went three-and-out on the ensuing possession, with Byron Murphy II sacking Cam Ward on third down. Seattle got the ball at the Titans 26 on another good Shaheed return, but stalled out in goal-to-go. Darnold again was lucky to avoid an interception on a deflected throw to A.J. Barner. Jason Myers extended

the lead to 13-3 Seahawks.

Cam Ward hit a big pass play over the middle to James Proche III for 23 yards to get out of a 3rd and 9 jam. Tennessee was on the move on the cusp of field goal range when things took a turn for the worse for the home side. Ward misfired to Gunnar Helm on 3rd and 1 with Uchenna Nwosu in coverage, then Julius

Chestnut was stuffed on 4th and 1 for a turnover on downs!

The turnover on downs provided the Seahawks with a chance to score before halftime. They nearly got a touchdown on the two-minute drill through that Sam-to-JSN connection again, but Smith-Njigba was pushed out of bounds by Samuel Womack before both feet could come down in bounds. This led to a third field goal of

the half for Jason Myers and a 16-3 Seahawks lead at the break.

Tired of all of these field goal updates? Here’s Sam Darnold to Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a 13-yard touchdown, a few snaps after a 56-yard play immediately to start the second half. 23-3 Seahawks.

There was some life for the Titans, but not because of their offense. After Tennessee punted, the Seahawks went three-and-out and Michael Dickson was called upon for his first punt of the game. Speedy rookie Chimere Dike, who already entered the game with a punt return touchdown to his name, made it a second with a

90-yard house call. 23-10 Seahawks.

Seattle immediately responded with a couple of big Kenneth Walker III runs and a 29-yard catch-and-run on a screen pass. Walker did the bulk of the work, but it was Zach Charbonnet who made it 30-10 Seahawks with his seventh touchdown of the season. An easy 6-play drive in which the Seahawks never even got to

third down.

Cam Ward answered with a nine-play, 72-yard touchdown drive capped off by a rushing score to make it 30-17.

Seattle went for it on 4th and 3 in Titans territory in the final quarter. The effort to close the game out instead ended in a Sam Darnold sack by Arden Key, with Jeffery Simmons generating the initial pressure. Ward led a seven-minute drive deep into Seahawks territory, but a penalty and a sack put them at 4th and 21.

Despite Gunnar Helm’s best efforts, he hurdled well short of the sticks and the Titans put up nothing.

A three-and-out by the Seahawks soon followed, and the Titans again got into Seattle territory through a series of annoying fourth down conversions. Tennessee converted an astonishing five fourth downs, and with :43 left Chimere Dike got a receiving touchdown to make it 30-24 Seahawks. The onside kick didn’t go 10

yards and Tennessee had exhausted its timeouts, so game over. Thankfully.

The Seahawks return home to take on the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 30 at 1:05 pm PT on FOX. It’s not only Sam Darnold’s first game against his previous team, it’s also a final appearance for the throwback uniforms!
