Run It Forward | Seattle Seahawks 2026 Season Trailer
Thank You, Allen Family
Thank You, Allen Family
With the sale of the Seahawks expected to be finalized this week, the Seahawks offer their gratitude to Paul and Jody Allen for three decades of leadership.
John Boyle Seahawks.com Senior Reporter
When Jody Allen hoisted the Lombardi Trophy shortly after the Seahawks' dominant win in Super Bowl LX, it was the culmination of 30 years of Allen-family leadership since her brother, Paul Allen, bought the Seahawks in 1997.
"It truly has been a magical season," Jody Allen said as blue and green confetti fell onto the Levi's Stadium turf.
A magical three-decade run is more like it.
Allen went on to offer thanks the 12s, both in attendance and watching around the world, to the entire Seahawks organization, to general manager and president of football operations John Schneider, and to players past and present.
But seven months later, with the sale of the team from the Paul G. Allen Estate to the Khosla family expected to be finalized later this week, those thank yous should be directed back to Paul and Jody Allen for three decades of stewardship that saw the
Seahawks become one of the league's model franchises and a two-time Super Bowl champion.
Twelve years before Jody Allen held the Lombardi trophy after a Super Bowl victory, Paul Allen did the same after the Seahawks won their first Super Bowl, a 43-8 thrashing of the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. It was the high point in the history of a
franchise that had, at that point, been around for nearly four decades, and just the latest triumph for Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft who spent his life innovating both in technology and philanthropy.
"As an owner who was born and raised here, it's a very special moment, and the fulfillment of a dream," Paul Allen said on a freezing February afternoon following the Seahawks' Super Bowl parade in 2014.
But long before Paul Allen could turn the Seahawks into a championship-winning franchise, he was reluctant to be an NFL owner. Allen already owned the Portland Trail Blazers when an opportunity to buy the Seahawks came about in the mid-90s, and he
wasn't particularly interested in NFL ownership. But when political and civic leaders worked to find a local owner who would keep the team in Seattle—then-owner Ken Behring had already attempted to move the team to Anaheim—they kept coming back
"In the end, it wasn't a financial decision. It was a decision of commitment, and I go back to the fact that this is an Allen family commitment to this community, because there was no financial reason for him to buy the team, and there was no personal
reason for him to buy the team… Paul Allen, he was not the last person standing, he was the only person standing. And he made a commitment not based upon a financial reward, not based upon anything personal; he based it on the values that his mom
and dad taught him, and we owe as much to Faye and Ken Allen as we do Paul."

Seattle Seahawks Sale To The Khosla Family Is Complete
RENTON, Wash. – Following approval by NFL owners on August 26, the Seattle Seahawks announced today that the sale of the franchise to the Khosla family has officially closed. The Khosla family is now the controlling owner of the team.
Statement from the Khosla family:

The Khosla family held their first press conference as the new owners of the Seattle Seahawks, introducing themselves and outlining their vision for the franchise.
"We are honored and excited to begin this next chapter. The Seahawks are known for their championship culture, winning football, and a deep connection to the 12s and the Pacific Northwest. We look forward to engaging with the Seattle community and
building upon the legacy and traditions that make this franchise so special. We would like to extend our gratitude to the investors joining our ownership group and to everyone who has supported us throughout the sale process."
Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures, will hold the title of Chair, with Neeru Khosla as Controlling Owner & President of the Seahawks Charitable Foundation, and Neal Khosla as Vice Chair.

sovereign AI models, and use policy to ensure broad access to healthcare, education, and legal aid at near-zero cost. He warns of geopolitical concentration of AI power in the US and China, stresses that politics will shape outcomes, and advises individuals
to pursue diverse, adaptable education to thrive in an unpredictable future.
Seattle Seahawks sale officially closes, full list of co-owners revealed
After 29 seasons, including four conference championships and two Lombardi trophies, the ownership era of the Allen family has ended for the Seahawks.
It has been just over 30 years since Ken Behring attempted to move the Seattle Seahawks to Southern California, with Paul Allen stepping in to buy the team and prevent a move.
Allen’s purchase of the franchise, however, did not just prevent the franchise from moving, it also led to the hire of Mike Holmgren as head coach, which in turn led to the first Super Bowl appearance in team history. Of course, the Holmgren era turned into
the blink that was the Jim Mora 2009 season, which led to the Pete Carroll era and two more Super Bowl appearances, including the first Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.

New Seahawks owner Vinod Khosla admits to being big fan of another NFL team in bizarre twist

NFL owners voted unanimously to approve the sale of the Seattle Seahawks to the Khosla family on August 26, 2026.
Watch as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Vinod Khosla address the media.
Key takeaways
New Ownership: Vinod and Neeru Khosla approved as majority owners of the Seattle Seahawks, aiming to maintain the team’s winning streak and pursue another Super Bowl.
Personal Fandom: Despite owning the Seahawks, Vinod remains a lifelong Steelers fan, inspired by their 1970s dynasty and still watches all their games.
Background & Vision: Co-founder of Sun Microsystems and venture capitalist with ~$13.3 billion net worth, Khosla plans a long-term, learning-focused approach to team management.

Story by Michael Blinn
Money can buy an NFL franchise at a $9.612 valuation, but can it buy fandom?
Vinod and Neeru Khosla were approved as the new majority owners of the Seahawks this week, but Vinod’s introductory press conference on Wednesday came with an odd admission.
“I also happened to come to this country in ’76 when the Steelers were winning the Super Bowl, so actually I was originally and still am a big Steelers fan,” he said.
“Also, little known fact, but I still watch all the Steelers games, too.”
The Steelers were a juggernaut in the 1970s, winning four Super Bowls (1974, ’75, ’78 and ’79), with a franchise that included the likes of Franco Harris, “Mean” Joe Greene, Lynn Swann, Jack Lambert and Terry Bradshaw during those year.
It makes sense Khosla — who emigrated to the US from India in 1976 to attend an MBA program at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon — would get swept up in a dynasty.
“He’s been a big fan of sports and in particular football, so he’s wanted forever to get involved in actually strategizing,” Neeru said. “So he’s the one who actually really pushed us into doing this. He’s worked really hard so I’m very proud of him.”
The 71-year-old has put together powerhouse portfolio of his own, co-founding Sun Microsystems and becoming a venture capitalist with a Forbes-estimated $13.3 billion.
Khosla, who became a non-controlling, limited partner in the 49ers in May 2025, is seemingly hoping to bring some of that Steelers magic to the West Coast, turning the reigning Super Bowl champion Seahawks into a dynasty of his very own.

“The task ahead is actually pretty simple — keep the winning streak alive, get another Super Bowl,” he said. “That simple. In general, our approach is generally going to be long-termed focused. That’s our inclination always. So, keep winning, take a long-
term approach and learn a lot. We don’t know enough.
“… The other owners have been incredibly welcoming and willing to teach us, and so we’ll learn a lot. We’ll learn a lot from management and see what they are recommending. So we’ll just be in learning mode for quite some time.”
Khosla’s tenure gets off to a start with a Super Bowl 2026 rematch against the Patriots on Sept. 9 at Seattle’s Lumen Field.
There won’t be any questions who he’ll be rooting for in that game, at least.

SOUNDGARDEN Performs With TAYLOR MOMSEN And MIKE MCCREADY Halftime Of SEATTLE SEAHAWKS Season Opener
by Mookie Alexander
The bad news for the Seattle Seahawks is that they have lost quarterback Sam Darnold for an undetermined length of time. The good news is the Super Bowl champions started the season in the win column with a 13-10 comeback over the New England
Patriots (0-1). Despite having a banged up secondary missing Nick Emmanwori and Ty Okada, the Seahawks defense still produced three Drake Maye interceptions in the final quarter, including a game-winning pick by Josh Jobe on a ball Maye should’ve
never thrown.
Drew Lock once again has a game-winning drive in primetime, while “The Dark Side” once again reminded everyone of how dominant they are even when undermanned. Jaxon Smith-Njigba scored Seattle’s only touchdown on a 4th-and-1 throw from
Lock, and even without Darnold for almost the whole game he still had 8 catches for 122 yards and a score.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba GONE!!!
Jaxon Smith-Njigba Week 1 Highlights vs Patriots | Every Target and Catch
Jadarian Price Seahawks Debut Highlights | Every Play
The first play-call of the season and therefore of Brian Fleury’s career as offensive coordinator was a 13-yard run by rookie running back Jadarian Price. Sam Darnold’s first pass was an over the middle throw to Jaxon Smith-Njigba for another 13 yards. An
Eric Saubert false start penalty put them behind the sticks, and then a worrisome sight happened when Sam Darnold was sacked by former Seahawk Dre’Mont Jones and he limped off the field with a hip injury.
New England’s opening drive ended in a punt but nevertheless was briefly extended after Derick Hall committed a personal foul penalty by shoving Drake Maye when he was already out of bounds. Sending the house on Maye led to a throwaway on the
next third down.

Drew Lock came in for Darnold but was predominantly handing the ball off, and nearly got intercepted by Christian Gonzalez early in the second quarter on an underthrown ball to Cooper Kupp.
The Patriots finally opened the scoring with a methodical 10-play, 77-yard drive. Multiple third-down conversions, including a pass interference on Josh Jobe when he was beaten on a flea-flicker by A.J. Brown. Drake Maye found a wide open Eli Raridon for
the first touchdown of the season. The rookie tight end has his big moment.
Seattle’s sloppy penalties persisted on offense, pushing them into 3rd and 22. Drew Lock still threw a dime to JSN for 21.5 yards, setting up the Barnyard shove with A.J. Barner. The conversion was successful, but a mysterious offside penalty on the
offense negated the conversion and led to another punt.
No further scoring happened in the half, but Darnold was ruled out with a hip injury.
Seahawks-Patriots 2nd half recap
The Patriots’ opening drive stalled out in Seahawks territory, but a Chazz Surratt roughing the punter infraction not only gifted New England a new set of downs, it set up an Andy Borregales 50-yard field goal to extend the lead to 10-0 Patriots.
Another Seahawks drive with Lock ended in a punt, but the Pats were backed up and went three-and-out. Jay Harbaugh forced a delay of game through showing punt block and limiting the number of gunners the Patriots could send down the field. He
showed the same look again and Rashid Shaheed was able to at least get into New England territory on his return.
Faced with 3rd and short and maybe thinking about a long field goal or having to go for it on 4th, Drew Lock lofted a long throw to Cooper Kupp, who made a remarkable one-handed diving catch to set Seattle up in the red zone.
A touchdown to Kupp was taken away due to an illegal shift penalty, but it looked like Seattle also got away with a delay of game penalty so it shouldn’t have counted either way. Lock’s back-foot throw to JSN in the end zone was too long and Jason Myers
had to come on for a 30-yard field goal. First attempt after a rough preseason? No problem. 10-3 Patriots.
Seattle could’ve used a stop when the Patriots were faced with 2nd and 19. A checkdown to Rhamondre Stevenson got a good chunk of yards, and a blitz by Mike Macdonald was burned when Pop Douglas caught a screen and gained 9 on 3rd and 8. Tough
way to end the third quarter.
Great way to start the fourth, though! Rodney Thomas II and Nehemiah Pritchett combined for a huge turnover, with Thomas on the tip drill and Pritchett snagging his first career interception.
When Seattle was stuffed on 3rd and 1 with Emanuel Wilson, the Seahawks went for it on 4th and 1. Barnyard? Nope. Play-action pass to Smith-Njigba, who caught it and took off for the end zone. How about a 45-yard game-tying touchdown for Seattle’s
first of the season?10-10.
The Pats were backed up after a block in the back penalty on the rookie Gabe Jacas. Romeo Doubs had a huge play laid on a platter and he dropped the ball. That proved costly, as Drake Maye’s over the middle shot on 3rd and long was picked off by
Julian Love! He was touched down at the Patriot 47, so no yardage on the return.
Drew Lock led Seattle into the red zone, but after scrambling for 14 yards on 2nd and 15 he committed a costly delay of game penalty. Back-to-back incomplete passes meant Jason Myers was tasked with another short field goal, which he converted from
26. 13-10 Seahawks with 5:50 to go.
The Dark Side split-sack Uchennan42 Leonard Williams
Following a holding penalty, Leonard Williams sacked Drake Maye after initial pressure from Byron Murphy II. A long play to Mack Hollins turned 2nd and 21 into 3rd and 2. In a big decision, Mike Vrabel went for it on 4th and 2 and Maye scrambled for a
first down. An ineligible man downfield was induced thanks to Dante Fowler Jr blowing up an Eli Raridon screen. A throw out to Lan Larison went for a loss of two thanks to Josh Jobe. After the two-minute warning and a 10-yard gain by Hunter Henry, the
Pats went for it on 4th and 9 in Seattle territory. Mack Hollins was wide open for a first down as Ernest Jones IV was late on the rotation.
On 3rd and 1 with :44 left, the Patriots called timeout to talk it over. Drake Maye converted on the naked bootleg for another first down. Derick Hall pressured Maye, who was sacked by DeMarcus Lawrence and Byron Murphy II. Maye with another
completion to set up 3rd and manageable. Just don’t throw it in harm’s way and a field goal attempt is secured….DRAKE MAYE JUST THREW THE GAME AWAY TO JOSH JOBE! SEAHAWKS WIN!13-10 Seahawks FINAL.
