The Seattle Seahawks are an American gridiron football team based in Seattle. They were introduced to the NFL in 1974 as an expansion team, and represent the entirety of the Pacific Northwest.
I started seriously watching football in high school. I had a casual interest in it around the Legion of Boom era, when I was around 10 or 11, but I started to seriously get into it after high school. This was nearing the end of the Pete Carroll era, the enrirety of the Geno Smith era, and the current renaissance that is the Mike MacDonald era.
Favorite Players
Jaxon Smith-Njigba (#11), also known as JSN or the Emerald City Route Artist, is a wide receiver and one of the most famous Seahawks WRs in modern years. In 2025 he led the league in yards, and won the 2025 AP Offensive Player of the Year (beating out Drake Maye and scumbag Puka Nacua). He's something of a golden boy in the Seahawks fanbase, due to his goofy personality.
Sam Darnold (#14), also known as GEQBUS (God Emperor Quarterback of the United States), is the current Seahawks QB. Before his generational comeback with the Seahawks, Darnold was a sort-of punching bag in the NFL. To the point that an entire subreddit, r/The_Darnold, was created as an ironic joke; where the members treat a "mediocre" QB with the reverence that MAGA treats Donald trump (the name is literally a reference to r/The_Donald), which just made it all the funnier when he had a legendary 2025-6 season and got the Seahawks both a franchise record (14 wins 3 losses) and a Superbowl win. Not just a Superbowl win, but a redemption against the Patriots after our SB48 loss.
Iconic Plays
The Zachwards Pass
During the 2025 Los Angeles Rams–Seattle Seahawks game (which would decide what team made it to the playoffs), the Seahawks had just scored a touchdown and decided to attempt a 2-point conversion to tie the game. Sam Darnold had thrown a pass to RB Zach Charbonett, but it had bounced off a Rams players helmet and landed in the endzone. Charbonnet picked it up, thinking the play is dead, but because the ball had bounced *backwards* off the players head it was a backward-pass and therefore still a live ball; meaning that Charbonnet had actually completed the 2-pt conversion.
