The Seattle Seahawks know a little something what a great defense can do for a football team. Mike Macdonald’s talented unit is looking very scary these days.

Here is what the national media had to say about the Seahawks' shutout win against the Vikings, which saw them move into a tie for the NFC West lead.

The Carolina Panthers are filled with former Seattle Seahawks from the roster to the coaching staff and the front office. Dave Canales’ group just pulled off a shocking upset over the Los Angeles Rams that has immediately raised the potential for Seattle to still win the NFC West.

Despite a 9-3 record and dominating defense, Richard Sherman has his doubts about Seattle Seahawks' QB Sam Darnold.

Seattle (9-3) has some roster and lineup decisions to make coming up. But perhaps not this week before the team plays at Atlanta (4-8).

Comedian Dustin Nickerson, who is a Seattle Seahawks fan, went viral on X for a post thanking the Carolina Panthers for beating the LA Rams.

Gaskin and Diggs will both have a chance to play for the Seahawks for the first time in 2025. The former has been on and off the practice squad throughout the season, while Diggs — a former three-time Pro Bowler with Seattle — has an immediate chance to make an impact in his return.

The Seattle Seahawks had 15 players who were among the top-10 vote-getters by position in fan voting for the 2026 Pro Bowl.
