The Seattle Seahawks started their 2025 season with a brutal, last-minute home loss to the San Francisco 49ers at Lumen Field. But Emerald City, you know how this story *really* ends: with a Super Bowl 60 trophy hoisted in the 49ers’ *own stadium* after we clinched the NFC West at their place too. What a way to cap off the 50th season in franchise history, and the last one under Allen Family ownership. Let’s talk about how our boys got it done, because it was pure magic.
The Grind to Glory: Regular Season Highlights You Can’t Forget
Seriously, after that opening day gut punch against the Niners, our Hawks just kept winning. We’re talking absolute highlight-reel stuff that made every Sunday worth it. Remember George Holani’s bizarre dagger touchdown in Week 2 against the Steelers? Or Tory Horton delivering a house call against the Saints in Week 3? Jason Myers was straight-up clutch, calling game against the Cardinals in Week 4, and then again in Week 15 against the Colts with his “quest for six” completed! Jaxon Smith-Njigba started connecting for long-distance scores in Week 6 against the Jaguars, and then completed a second-half rout against the Falcons in Week 14, where we dropped 37-9 on them! Tory Horton wasn’t done, dominating Dan Quinn’s defense as we pitched a 14-0 shutout against the Commanders in Week 9. And shoutout to Tyrice Knight and DeMarcus Lawrence, who absolutely balled out against the Cardinals in Week 10, not once, but *twice*! We even saw some wild drama with Max Brosmer in the Vikings game, a moment that had us all yelling “OH NO!” from our couches in Week 13. And who could forget that Week 16 game against the Rams, a nail-biter where Zach Charbonnet’s conversion was good, only for Eric Saubert to win it after a 30-30 battle? Our dudes just kept finding ways to win, finishing strong with A.J. Barner taming the Cats in Carolina for Week 17.
The Playoff Push: Our City, Our Super Bowl
The regular season set us up for something special, and our Hawks delivered. The ultimate payoff for all that grit? Drake Thomas clinching the NFC West in Week 18, right there *at* the San Francisco 49ers’ house! You love to see it. That set the stage for a playoff run we’ll be talking about for decades. The NFC Divisional Round was pure fire, again against the 49ers, and Rashid Shaheed started it off right, securing the win on the *opening kickoff*! Can you even imagine? Then, in the NFC Championship Game against the Rams, Cooper Kupp had his absolute revenge game, and we officially booked our ticket to the Super Bowl! Facing the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60, it was Uchenna Nwosu who put the exclamation point on the season with a pick-six that sealed our second Lombardi Trophy. The footage of that Super Bowl run, like the “Video of the Year” that dropped back in February 2026, just hits different when you know what our boys overcame.
What an absolutely insane journey, going from an opening day loss to the Niners, to beating them for the division, beating them again in the playoffs, and then winning the Super Bowl in their stadium. Now, with the 2026 regular season just kicking off, let’s hope for a similarly busy and successful ride. Go Hawks!
