Let’s take a moment to talk about what’s happening in Seattle - because the Seahawks are quietly (or maybe not so quietly anymore) putting together one of the most dominant stretches of football we’ve seen this season.
Yes, Atlanta pulled off a wild comeback win over Tampa Bay on Thursday night. And no, neither of those teams are playoff juggernauts - the Falcons are already eliminated, and the Bucs are hanging on by a thread.
But here’s the thing: just four days before that comeback, Atlanta couldn’t even find the end zone against Seattle. Not once.
And that’s not a one-off. The week before, the Vikings didn’t just fail to score a touchdown against the Seahawks - they didn’t score at all.
Zero points. That’s not just shutting a team down, that’s locking the door, bolting it, and throwing away the key.
Now, let’s keep this in perspective. The Falcons and Vikings aren’t exactly title contenders.
But in a league where blowouts are rare - let’s define that as a win by 13 or more points - Seattle is stacking them up like it’s nothing. For context, last year’s Super Bowl-winning Eagles had five such wins all season.
Seattle? They’ve got six already in 2025, including back-to-back wins by more than 25 points.
That’s not just winning - that’s domination.
And it’s happening in a season where chaos has been the norm. Upsets are everywhere.
Playoff races are tighter than ever. And yet, week after week, the Seahawks are steamrolling teams that - as we’ve seen - are still capable of pulling off big wins themselves.
So let’s kill the narrative that Seattle’s hot streak is just a product of weak opponents. Because when you beat a team so badly they look like they don’t belong on the same field - and then that same team turns around and knocks off a playoff hopeful - that says more about you than it does about them.
The Seahawks aren’t just beating teams. They’re dismantling them.
And in a league where margins are razor-thin and every game is a grind, that kind of dominance is rare. Only really good teams do this.
It’s time to start talking about Seattle like one.
