“I'm ready to put this on and wear in the game,” cornerback Devon Witherspoon said. “It's clean. And I think the fans are going to love it.”
Running back Kenneth Walker agreed, “I like them a lot. It's just a new look, and I like new looks. I think the 12s will love it.”
No one in the NFL gets loud like the 12s. When the 12s compete on gameday, you feel it – literally. Their noise reverberates throughout the stadium, into the bedrock of the city, and beyond.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- — TheSeattle Seahawkscould have been shell-shocked, giving up a 14-point lead during the latter half of the fourth quarter and turning their comfortable advantage into a tie game with 33 seconds left.
It looked like they might need overtime to make amends.
Darnold hit Smith-Njigba for a 22-yard gain in a last-minute response, Myersmade a 52-yard field goal as time expired, and the Seahawks withstood a late rally by Kyler Murrayand the Cardinals to beat Arizona 23-20 on Thursday night.
“I had no doubt we were going to go down there and score, honestly,” Smith-Njigba said. “We just needed one play, a couple plays and Jason's going to go down there and seal the deal.”
Seattle has won eight straight over Arizona, its NFC West rival.
The Cardinals trailed 20-6 midway through the fourth. Murray threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Harrison Jr. that cut the deficit to 20-13 with 5:50 left.
After Myers missed a 53-yard field-goal attempt, Murray put together another driveand found Emari Demercado for a 7-yard touchdown with 33 seconds left.
But the Seahawks (3-1) weren't done. A penalty on the ensuing kickoff — Chad Ryland's kick landed short of the landing zone — gave Seattle good field position at the 40. Darnold then hit Smith-Njigba for the big gain that moved Seattle into field-goal range.
Two plays later, Myers calmly knocked the 52-yarder through, making up for his miss just a few minutes before.
“I've seen this guy play golf — he's a stud,” Seattle coach Mike Macdonald said. “He's got ice in his veins. We knew he was going to make that kick.”
Said Myers: “I didn't try to change anything — just stay true to my routine. That's what I prepare for during the offseason and all week. Just trusting it and letting it rip."
@Kenneth_Walker9III #K9 takes the screen pass for the first down and then some!
Darnold had another efficient outing, completing 18 of 26 passes for 242 yards and a touchdown.Kenneth Walker III ran for 81 yards andZach Charbonnetadded his second rushing touchdown of the season. The Seahawks' defense sacked Kyler Murray six times.
“Sam's playing out of his mind right now,” Macdonald said. “You see him, and he's such a cool customer.”
Charbonnet scored on a 1-yard run late in the second quarter, using a second effort to fall into the end zone and give the Seahawks a 14-3 lead heading into halftime. The Cardinals (2-2) jogged to the locker room amid scattered boos from the home crowd.
Arizona has struggled on offense most of the season and Thursday was a slog until the fourth quarter. The Cardinals have dropped two straight.
“We’ve got to show up and be ready to go,” Murray said. “It’s just taking too long. Obviously, the resilience of the team, you love to see it. You feel like you give yourself a chance to win the game at the end.
Murray completed 27 of 41 passes for 200 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, though at least one wasn't his fault.
Harrison had a rough start to the game before making his touchdown grab in the fourth quarter. Last year's No. 4 overall pick bobbled a ball on a slant route in the second quarter, essentially tossing it to Seattle's Ernest Jones IV, who grabbed it for an interception.
All over him No escape. D-Fence
It was the second straight walk-off loss for the Cardinals, who fell 16-15 to the 49ers on a last-second field goal just five days earlier. It was the first time since at least 1988 that the Cardinals have lost two games in a row on the final play of regulation, according to Sportradar.
“I appreciate the resiliency, that's there,” coach Jonathan Gannon said. “No one has their head down. Everyone believes we can win. But we're not doing enough, all three phases, to win these games. That's very clear.”
The Seahawks took a 7-3 lead late in the first quarter on Darnold's 16-yard touchdown pass toAJ Barner.
Arizona took a 3-0 lead on Ryland's 33-yard field goal with 4:37 left in the first quarter. The Cardinals grabbed the early advantage partially because of a strange play a few minutes earlier that included turnovers by both teams.
Murray threw a ball that was intercepted by Seattle's Coby Bryant, but Bryant fumbled a few seconds later and the ball was recovered by Arizona's Trey Benson at essentially the same spot where the play started.

Seahawks 44, Saints 13: A big, easy win
Seahawks vs. Saints Final Score: Seahawks crush Saints in most dominant display in years
The Seahawks jumped on the Saints and never looked back.
Trap game? What trap game? The Seattle Seahawks (2-1) made sure there wouldn’t be a New York Giants redux with the New Orleans Saints (0-3), who were overmatched almost literally from the opening kickoff. Seattle raced out to a 21-0 first quarter lead, went into halftime up 38-6, and finished with a 44-13 victory in
which the likes of Drew Lock, Josh Jones, Jacardia Wright, and other reserves were able to get significant playing time.
It’s the Seahawks’ first home win of the season and just their second triumph at Lumen Field over the last nine games. While it’s just one win, it felt like more than that based on how the Seahawks performed. Almost as if to let out years of home futility frustration out on the poor Saints. This was the type of win that has
been lacking for Seattle even during the waning Russell Wilson seasons, and the Seahawks made a major statement by hammering an inferior opponent like we used to see in the Legion of Boom days.
Sam Darnold was exceptionally sharp, going 14/18 for 218 yards and 2 touchdowns (and no sacks taken). Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught his first touchdown of the season and was just shy of his third 100-yard receiving game in a row. Tory Horton was a superstar, returning a punt and catching a pass for a touchdown in
another milestone moment for the rookie. Kenneth Walker III only had 38 yards on 16 carries as the run blocking wasn’t up to par, but he got into the end zone twice. Byron Murphy II continued his second season leap with a sack of Spencer Rattler, while Josh Jobe had a very impactful double-digit tackles and a touchdown-
saving pass defensed.
There won’t be too long a time to celebrate this win, as the Seahawks have a quick turnaround to play the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday. You should still celebrate the heck out of this game, though!Join the GIF party in The Feed.

(perfect) Sam Darnold was cookin; in the first half.
1st Half
The Seahawks were on Cloud Nine to start the game. Spencer Rattler airmailed a 4th and 2 conversion to Alvin Kamara on the opening drive, resulting in a turnover on downs. When it looked like the Seahawks would have to settle for a field goal on their opening series, a silly headbutt by Bryan Bresee after a third down
stop extended the drive. Sam Darnold made the Saints pay with a 12-yard touchdown to Jaxon Smith-Njigba off of play-action.
New Orleans went three-and-out on the next possession, setting the stage for Tory Horton’s record-setting 95-yard punt return touchdown. No one in Seahawks history has run back a punt longer than the electrifying rookie out of Colorado State.
It got even better for the Seahawks through their special teams, as D’Anthony Bell came off the edge to block a punt—New Orleans’ first blocked punt suffered since playing the St. Louis Rams in 2011—Chazz Surratt couldn’t scoop and score but the Seahawks were still able to start at the 11. Kenneth Walker III made it 21-0
lead just two snaps later.
It’s the first time since 2006 that the Seahawks have put up 21+ points in the opening quarter, and what a way to do so! The Saints would get on the board early in the second quarter on a 27-yard field goal by Blake Grupe. Josh Jobe had a would-be interception nullified by an illegal contact penalty, but he prevented a
touchdown on an end zone throw to Chris Olave later in the series.
Dareke Young was tasked with kick return duties and he ripped off a big one to the New Orleans 38. After just three plays, Sam Darnold found Tory Horton on a perfect throw and catch to extend the lead to 28-3. This is not an AI description or an AI simulation; this is all real life.
Sam Darnold was sharp in the first half, hitting 10/11 for 169 yards and a pair of touchdowns. A 45-yard play-action deep shot to JSN set Seattle up deep in Saints territory, and K9 finished off another scoring drive with his second touchdown of the afternoon. The teams would trade field goals to give Seattle an unassailable
38-6 halftime advantage.
2nd Half
If you thought the Seahawks would be content to sit on a 32-point lead, think again. A 10-yard run by Kenneth Walker III was followed by a Darnold strike to a wide open Cooper Kupp for 23 more yards. Penalties sort of derailed the drive, but Jason Myers got a second field goal opportunity after his initial 51-yard kick was
blocked by an offside Justin Reid. How about a 41-6 scoreline EARLY in the third quarter?!
Another field goal made it 44-6 Seahawks before a penalty-aided drive finally put the Saints in the end zone. Spencer Rattler found tight end Jack Stoll in the back corner for his first NFL touchdown catch, cutting the deficit to 44-13 early in the fourth quarter. Seattle put in Drew Lock and other backups for the remainder of
the game, presumably because of the blowout but also the short week ahead and an opportunity to get some extra rest before a big divisional showdown in Glendale.
The Seahawks still had more highlights to provide before the clock hit 0:00. Derion Kendrick picked off Spencer Rattler’s desperation fourth down attempt for his second INT in as many weeks, and he could’ve easily had four over two games with the opportunities he’s had.
If you want to pinpoint a negative, George Holani fumbled in garbage time and the Saints recovered. Second-round rookie quarterback Tyler Shough came in for New Orleans and his NFL debut ended in a three-and-out, with the dastardly Mike Macdonald sending an A-gap Ty Okada safety blitz to hurry Shough into an
overthrow. Seattle got the ball back and ran the clock to wrap up a superb display of football.

PITTSBURGH -- — George Holanipounced on a live ball in the end zone for an improbable touchdown, and the Seattle Seahawks took advantage of sloppy play by thePittsburgh Steelersto pull off a 31-17 surprise on Sunday.
The Seahawks had taken a 3-point lead early in the fourth quarter on Jason Myers' 54-yard field goal when the ensuing kickoff bounced over the hands of Steelers rookie Kaleb Johnsonand into the end zone.
George Holani Holaniiii hes got it in the End Zone
welcome to the barn show
While Johnson turned his back and walked toward the bench, Holani raced to the end zone and fell on the ball just before it rolled out of bounds to give the Seahawks (1-1) a 24-14 lead. That was enough on a day Aaron Rodgersand the rest of Pittsburgh's offense delivered a dud in the Steelers' home opener.
Sam Darnoldpassed for 295 yards and two touchdowns, overcoming a pair of first-half interceptions. Kenneth Walker III ran for 105 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown with 3:41 to go that secured Seattle’s third-ever victory in Pittsburgh.
The Seahawks outgained Pittsburgh 395 yards to 267. Only the two early picks by Darnold allowed the Steelers to hang around.
Rodgers completed 18 of 33 passes for 203 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions a week after a nearly flawless four-touchdown debut in a win over theNew York Jets. DK Metcalfcaught three passes for 20 yards, including a 2-yard touchdown, but was largely a non-factor against his former team.
Jaylen Warrenran for 48 yards and caught four passes for 86 more, but the crispness that defined Pittsburgh's triumph against the Jets vanished against a Seattle defense that didn't miss a beat, even with starting cornerbackDevon Witherspoonsidelined by injury.
The Seahawks sacked Rodgers twice and hit the 41-year-old a handful of other times as Pittsburgh (1-1) struggled to find a rhythm.
Pittsburgh took a 14-7 lead late in the first half on a 2-yard lob from Rodgers to Metcalf that was set up by a long interception return by Steelers linebackerNick Herbig.

Yet the Seahawks steadied themselves after the half and let Pittsburgh endure a series of pratfalls, the most notable by Johnson, a third-round pick out of Iowa who was expected to battle Warren for playing time.
Instead, Johnson found himself on the bench after turning and walking away from a live ball to swing momentum Seattle's way for good.
Holani's recovery came in almost the same spot where teammateDerion Kendrickpicked off Rodgers on a tipped ball late in the third quarter to thwart a potential Steelers scoring drive.
Rodgers' pass actually hit Calvin Austin and Pat Freiermuthbefore settling into a diving Kendrick's hands on a play that defined the afternoon for both teams.

Seahawks-49ers Final Score: Seahawks 13, 49ers 17
Sam Darnold fumbled inside the 49ers’ 20-yard line to seal a 17-13 win for San Francisco.
There may have been more 49ers fans than Seahawks fans at the season opener
SEATTLE -- — When Brock Purdycommanded the huddle ahead of the San Francisco 49ers’ final drive, he provided a clear message to third-string tight endJake Tongesand the rest of the offense.
“He’s confident, he’s poised, he’s like, ‘Let’s go win this thing,’” Tonges said. “We didn’t want to kick a field goal. We didn’t want to go to overtime. We wanted to win it right there.”
Tonges entered the game having never caught an NFL pass. He finished with three receptions in relief ofinjured All-Pro tight end George Kittleand came down with a 50-50 ball from a scrambling Purdy for a 4-yard TD. Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolengot a hand on the ball, but it bounced off him and Tonges grabbed it.
“I saw him throw it up,” Tonges said. “I wasn’t sure if he was throwing it away or whatever, but I just tried to cut underneath the corner right there and high-point it and come down in bounds.”
The little-used Tonges was pressed into service because of the Niners' depleted receiving corps. Top wideoutBrandon Aiyukis out with a knee injury, and receiver Jauan Jennings(shoulder) and Kittle (hamstring) exited Sunday's game early.
After Tonges' TD, Jake Moodyconverted the extra point to put the Niners up by four, a critical conversion given that he missed two field goals earlier.
Sam Darnoldmoved the Seahawks into position to win his debut with the franchise, hitting Jaxon Smith-Njigbafor 40 yards to the San Francisco 14. But on second down from the 9, Nick Bosastrip-sacked Darnold to put the game away.
“Ending with a win is what we’re always aiming for,” Bosa said, “and the fact that I was able to help, always great.”
Purdy went 26 of 35 for 277 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, improving to 4-0 as a starter at Lumen Field. Kittle caught a 7-yard TD pass from Purdy in the first quarter before getting hurt in the second.
Darnold went 16 of 23 for 150 yards as the Seahawks mustered 234 yards of total offense.
When asked about the lack of in-game reps had an impact on the performance, Darnold was dismissive.
“After I came off the field after the game, I knew that wasn’t our standard and that’s not how we that’s not how we do things. And we knew that,” Darnold said. “I knew that personally. I talked to some of the guys already, and we’re just going to continue to grow and get better from it. We’ll be alright.”
specialists stepping up when called
“For us, it was not enough today,” Darnold said. “I felt like we weren’t as efficient as we wanted to be on first and second down — and third down we have to be way better as well.”
Zach Charbonnet’s 1-yard rush early in the second quarter tied the game at 7-all, and the Seahawks took the lead on Jason Myers’ 48-yard field goal with 2 seconds left in the first half. Myers connected again from 37 yards to put Seattle ahead 13-10 with 3:24 left in the game.

Then Purdy and his supporting cast went to work.
“I’m just so happy with our team,” Shanahan said. “There was a lot of adversity in that game that we had to overcome: offense, defense, special teams. The number of turnovers. ... I was real proud of our team.”
Saleh shows out
Robert Saleh returned as San Francisco's defensive coordinator after previously holding the job from 2017-20; he then had a stint as theNew York Jets' head coach. Saleh called some well-timed blitzes to disrupt Darnold and the Seahawks' offense.
Seattle had four three-and-outs, two in each half. The Seahawks averaged 3.2 yards per carry, with their longest run a 9-yard scramble by Darnold.
“Saleh’s the man,” Bosa said. “He calls it great.”
Motoring McCaffrey
Christian McCaffrey, who was listed as questionable after hurting his calf in practice earlier in the week, was productive for the Niners with nine catches for 73 yards and 22 carries for 69 yards. McCaffrey’s 142 combined yards were his most since Week 15 of the 2023 season.
“We got a scare on Thursday and started feeling much better about it Friday and Saturday,” Shanahan said. “And I did get to talk to him about it. He had a hell of a game, man. It was awesome to have him out there.”

Seahawks icon Marshawn Lynch catches attention with side gig in Raiders game
Seattle Seahawks and Raiders icon Marshawn Lynch goes viral with new hobby while two of his former teams square off to open their preseasons.
unexpected new gig—serving as a credentialed sideline photographer. The viral moment quickly made waves among Seahawks fans and across the football world, spotlighting Lynch’s enduring connection to both teams and his trademark off-field charisma.
The Seahawks have long been synonymous with Lynch, who became an icon with his “Beast Mode” run, Super Bowl XLVIII title, and five Pro Bowl selections. His impact on the culture of the Seahawks, as well as during his brief stint with the Raiders, made his sideline presence all the more notable during
Thursday’s matchup. Lynch, now 39-years-old, strolled the sidelines with professional camera gear, snapping photos of the action and bringing atouch of humorand nostalgia to the event.
Adding to the buzz, Jesse Merrick of Silver & Black Sports Network took to his X (formerly known as Twitter) account, highlighting Lynch’s new passion and posing a playful questionabout the NFL legend’s talents.
