#seattle-seahawks

They're in the Super Bowl because they made every right move in constructing their roster. And the Commanders should take notes. The Seahawks have been led primarily by their defense, which leads the league in fewest points allowed. This is despite a unit that lacks big-name superstars or high-profile draft picks, aside from cornerback Devon Witherspoon. Mainly, it's been elite scheming by Macdonald and the youth of Seattle's roster, allowing them to fly around the field.

It feels great to be back with the guys,

Charbonnet opened the scoring with a 4-yard touchdown run and then made an all-time heads-up play on a 2-point attempt in the fourth quarter. As other players were starting to walk off the field, thinking Sam Darnold's screen pass had been batted down for an incompletion, Charbonnet wisely grabbed what turned out to be a live ball in the end zone. The successful try tied the score at 30-30, completing the Seahawks' improbable comeback from a 16-point deficit before they prevailed in overtime.

Hopefully I get to shadow JSN, Lenoir said Sunday night after a 42-38 win over the Bears. I'm ready for this. I hope he's ready. Man to man coverage. Me and him. That's what I want. It's what the Seahawks want as well, given Smith-Njigba's season which has him in the running to be the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year.

Zach Charbonnet ran for 110 yards and two touchdowns, and the Seattle Seahawks turned two third-quarter Carolina turnovers into TDs to beat the Panthers 27-10 on Sunday and close in on the No 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. Sam Darnold threw an interception in the end zone but finished 18 of 27 for 147 yards with a touchdown for the Seahawks, who can wrap up the NFC West title and the top seed if the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams both lose or tie. Jaxson Smith-Njigba added nine catches for 72 yards as Seattle (13-3) won their sixth straight.

As the Seattle Seahawks were celebrating their wild win over the Los Angeles Rams last week, defensive tackle Leonard Williams made sure that Rashid Shaheed knew how important of a role the return man had played. It might have been easy to overlook amid the chaos of their 16-point rally in the fourth quarter and eventual 38-37 win in overtime, but it was Shaheed's touchdown on a 58-yard punt return that kicked off their improbable comeback.

Was the performance lackluster? For sure. Is this yet another low point in a season full of them? Absolutely. Will we continue to watch this slop? That's up to you. The Benz looked quite empty, and after this performance, I don't see anyone rushing to see this team on a short week against Tampa Bay.
