Our Seattle Seahawks offense is broken, we all saw it with that brutal 17-14 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night. It wasn’t *all* on the offensive line, but let’s be real, the front certainly didn’t do Sam Darnold any favors. But hold up, 12s, because there’s a serious glimmer of hope for our struggling unit. Head coach Mike Macdonald just dropped the news that starting right guard Anthony Bradford has a very good chance to return next Sunday when we face the Kansas City Chiefs!
The O-Line That’s Letting Sam Darnold Down
Look, our offensive line has been rough this 2026 season. *Significantly* struggled, the source says, and honestly, we’ve watched it every week. That disaster on Thursday night was just another example. Christian Haynes and rookie Beau Stephens have been filling in for Bradford through four weeks, and it’s been a total mixed bag. We’re sitting here at 3-3, right in the middle of the toughest stretch of our season, and the whole offense just feels desperate for answers. We know it, the coaches know it, and Darnold definitely knows it.
Anthony Bradford: The Return We’ve Been Waiting For?
Here’s the good news, though: Coach Macdonald is saying there’s a *very good chance* Anthony Bradford will be back next Sunday for our showdown with the Chiefs! Bradford’s been on injured reserve since Week 2, nursing hip and knee injuries. The guy’s a three-year starter, remember? He played against the New England Patriots, then sat out the win over the Arizona Cardinals before hitting IR. Yeah, I know, Bradford’s been ‘much maligned’ by us fans sometimes during his tenure. But let’s not forget he served as a key piece for us down the stretch last season, and his return could be a massive boost, especially for right tackle Abraham Lucas. Think about it: nine whole days between that Thursday night gut-punch against the Broncos and facing the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football, Oct. 25, at 5:20 p.m. That’s time to get Bradford ready and make a decision.
We’re desperate, there’s no other way to say it. Getting Bradford back, even if he’s not perfect right away, could be exactly the jolt this team needs. The Chiefs are coming to town, Lumen Field is gonna be rocking for Sunday Night Football, and we need our offense to show up. Can Bradford’s return be the spark that helps us turn this 3-3 start around? Let’s hope so. Go Hawks!
