2025 Summary (W-L Record: 14-3)

The Seahawks had a pretty good 2025 season.

Best defense in the NFL. 3rd-ranked offense. #1 seed in the NFC. Won the Super Bowl in dominating fashion…Not much to complain about with this team.

Like most Super Bowl champs, the Seahawks were able to raise the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season because they could win in a variety of ways. Just think about their playoff run.

They pummeled the 49ers in the NFC Divisional Playoffs from start to finish. Their special teams set the tone when Rashid Shaheed took the opening kickoff back for a touchdown. Both sides of the ball then dominated on their way to a 41-6 win.

In the NFC Championship Game, Seattle’s 31-27 victory came courtesy of Sam Darnold’s right arm. He and the offense led the way.

Then in Super Bowl LX, with the offense struggling to finish drives, the defense and special teams took control. Jason Myers kicked 5 field goals. The defense absolutely smothered the Patriots, holding them to just 51 total yards in the first half. Then they forced 3 critical turnovers in the second half that directly led to 17 points, including a game-sealing pick-6.

But while all three phases played a huge role, it’s safe to say that this team’s identity was its defense.

They were 1st in points allowed, 2nd in yards per play, 1st in rushing yards per attempt, 2nd in net passing yards per attempt, 1st on 3rd down, 5th in the red zone, 6th in pressure %, 7th in sacks, 6th in takeaways.

They were the only team that had 5 D-linemen with more than 40 pressures during the regular season (DeMarcus Lawrence, Byron Murphy, Leonard Williams, Uchenna Nwosu, Boye Mafe).

They didn’t blitz often, but when they did, they were the #1 defense based on passer rating.

They didn’t allow offenses to attack downfield, ranking 1st in air yards per completion allowed.

They allowed the fewest runs of 10 yards or more.

Seriously, what were offenses supposed to do?

And the scary thing for the rest of the league is that they are returning basically the same team on both sides of the ball.
