The preseason grind is done, 12s, and our Seahawks just wrapped it up with a 9-9 tie against the Kansas City Chiefs. But let’s be real, the real action starts in just 11 days when our squad opens the regular season with a massive Super Bowl rematch against the New England Patriots, right here at Lumen Field! We absolutely squashed them in the last Super Bowl, and you know we’re ready to do it again.
Defense Is Already Making Noise
You wanna talk impact? New cornerback Trevon Diggs wasted zero time, snagging an interception in his very first game as a Seahawk! The dude came out and said it himself, “I’m Ready To Help This Team Win,” and he’s already backing it up. It’s exactly the kind of playmaking we need for our title defense. On the flip side, we officially signed Terrion Arnold, but he’s already on the NFL commissioner’s exempt list as his legal proceedings unfold. That’s a developing situation to watch for sure, but we need all hands on deck for this Super Bowl run.
Roster Battles And Offensive Strides
Offensively, we saw some good and some not-so-good things against the Chiefs, but a major positive was the big strides forward in pass protection! That’s huge for whoever is under center. Still, the roster picture is far from settled. Did Jalen Milroe secure his spot? Reporter Bob Condotta is asking, and so are we. And you know the anxiety is real, with guys like Montorie Foster Jr. sweating the cuts even after a shower. General Manager John Schneider has the “hard part” ahead, figuring out who makes the final 53, especially with talk of an “11th-hour add” and an “Ohio teacher” making it onto projection lists. Adding to the challenge is a weak 2026 NFL Draft that might leave us with our least valuable rookie class since 2021.
It’s all building up to that epic Week 1 clash against the Patriots in 11 days at Lumen Field. Our Super Bowl title defense kicks off right here in the Emerald City, and it’s gonna be electric!
