The Seahawks just flat out beat the Los Angeles Chargers, putting up a massive 30 points to their 23 in a Week 4 showdown! On October 5, 2026, our Hawks showed up and showed out, sending a clear message to the rest of the NFL that this team is here to play. This wasn’t some lucky bounce or a fluke, this was our squad making a statement, and the Emerald City is buzzing.
Hawks Fly High, Chargers Get Clipped!
Man, what a game! A 30-23 victory over the Chargers is exactly what we needed to see early in this regular season. This kind of performance, putting up 30 on the board, tells you everything you need to know about where this team’s head is at. We’re seeing some real form emerge, and it’s got us hyped for what’s coming. Our offense is clicking, and Mike Macdonald’s crew is finding ways to win when it matters. It’s early, but these are the wins that build momentum and show you what kind of team you’re going to be. The energy around Lumen Field after a W like that is just something else, you know?
Beyond the Emerald City: MNF Brings the Fire!
While we were all celebrating our Hawks, Week 4 also wrapped up with a Monday Night Football clash down south, and wow, did it have some juice. The Falcons rolled into New Orleans to take on the Saints in what was an emotional 25-year remembrance game. These two are fierce division rivals, and honestly, the game shaped up to be a high-scoring shootout. With Michael Penix, Jr. under center, the Falcons suddenly look like they’ve got some life, actually functioning on offense. And the Saints? They’re one of the “friskiest, most fun teams” in the league right now. You had two “fun” quarterbacks in Penix, Jr. and Tyler Shough slinging it, and Kellen Moore, the offensive coordinator, loves to play fast. Experts were calling for a pile of points, maybe even over 50, because both teams can score but also struggle to stop opponents. Guys like Bijan Robinson for the Falcons were expected to go off, with predictions for over 130.5 rushing and receiving yards, especially with how vulnerable the Saints have been to superstar running backs. And on the Saints side, Chris Olave was looked at for 8+ receptions, having an excellent start to the season. It just goes to show, even when our Hawks win big, there’s always action across the league!
Now, we ride this wave into next week! That 30-point win over the Chargers is just the start. We’re looking forward to seeing how our boys, like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Rashid Shaheed, keep building on this momentum. This is our season, 12s, and we’re just getting warmed up!
