A sample of Leonard Williams' every-down impact: 1st/10 -- Tackle for 1-yard gain 2nd/9 -- pressure that leads to 6-yard checkdown 3rd/3 -- beats the RG for a Sack A real deal disruptor whenever the Seahawks need it.

New story: Leonard Williams is playing like the best defensive tackle in the league, as many would have expected. The scary part for Seahawks opponents: Byron Murphy II is, too. And right now, Seattle has arguably the best DT duo in the NFL. www.nytimes.com/athletic/685...

New: Every #Seahawks win seems to validate a different Mike Macdonald-ism. Today, they embodied “we defend a blade of grass.” In shutting out Minnesota they also lived out a new in-house mantra: “It doesn’t have to be close.” Well, it wasn’t. www.nytimes.com/athletic/685...

New story: Ken Walker III is finally RB1 again. The #Seahawks have hit their stride in the run game over the last few weeks. Maybe consistency at lead RB will give Seattle the balance it needs to snag the NFC’s top spot. www.nytimes.com/athletic/683...

New: The Titans tried to slow down JSN on Sunday. Everyone does. But the Titans learned the same lesson as every other team to play the #Seahawks this year. JSN is inevitable. And with 1,313 receiving yards thus far, he’s also a record-breaker. www.nytimes.com/athletic/683...

New story: Marquette King was one of the NFL’s best punters. And the most entertaining. Then he was out of the league before he turned 30. He has a theory about what happened. www.nytimes.com/athletic/681...

New: The #Seahawks O-line may be shorthanded Sunday against a Titans front that they know firsthand can give them problems “Their record is whatever, but they’re a team that’s hungry, they’re a team that’s fighting, so we’ve got to come ready to play.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/682...

New story: Mike Macdonald has put together a championship-level defense in Seattle. The signs have been there most of the year, then Sunday showcased it as well, even in defeat. The #Seahawks defense is real. www.nytimes.com/athletic/681...

New: Mike Macdonald’s defense was ready for its biggest test of the season. His QB? That’s another story Actually, it’s similar to Sam Darnold’s 2024 story. One 4-turnover game doesn’t define a QB, but it can cast doubt. That’s what happened Sunday. www.nytimes.com/athletic/681...

New story: The Seahawks’ biggest game of the season is also the biggest of the Mike Macdonald era. This game against the Rams is like looking in the mirror. This is the type of team the Seahawks gotta get thru to prove they are who they think they are. www.nytimes.com/athletic/680...

New story: The Seahawks have a dominant defense, led by one of the best fronts in the league. Big reason why Seattle is 5-2 entering the bye week. The best part for Seattle: Reinforcements are on the way. www.nytimes.com/athletic/673...

New story: The Seahawks want to prove themselves right every week. Thus far, they’ve proven 2 things. 1. JSN is currently the NFL’s best receiver 2. Mike Macdonald once again has an elite defense. And they’re still not satisfied “We can be better.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/673...

New story: On the quiet confidence of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the NFL’s leading receiver. JSN has always believed that no one can guard him. Now he’s proving it. www.nytimes.com/athletic/672...

New story, from Jaxonville: A silent EverBank Stadium. “SEA-HAWKS” chants in the tunnel. An MVP declaration. A new WR1 crowned. Mike Macdonald’s team did again away from home. “It sounded like we took over the stands.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/671...

New: The Seahawks are likely to be without Devon Witherspoon, Riq Woolen and Julian Love vs the Jags. Seattle hasn’t had its starting secondary at full strength since the first quarter of Week 1, and that only lasted 5 snaps. www.nytimes.com/athletic/670...

🚨 NEW ‘Seahawks Man 2 Man’ pod 🚨 Live now (YouTube only): Standout plays from Seahawks-Bucs! 🏈 Seattle’s run game works….when the execution is there. 🏈 Nick Emmanwori’s full-game debut. We looked at how the rookie performed in multiple areas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtJw...

New story: The Seahawks went all-in on JSN as their No. 1 option in the pass game, and that bet is paying off. They entered the year with questions about who’d be JSN’s co-star. Now we have an answer. AJ Barner. www.nytimes.com/athletic/670...

New story: Was the Seahawks’ disastrous day on defense an outlier or a sign of something more? Depends on the pass rush. Seattle can survive shuffling its secondary but only if the front line comes alive — and they were dead vs the Bucs. www.nytimes.com/athletic/669...
