The Seattle Seahawks finished the 2025 regular season with a 14‑3 record, earning the No. 1 seed in the NFC Playoffs and a first‑round bye. Seattle’s success was powered by a potent offense and balanced attack that led to a dominant top seed and home‑field advantage throughout the early rounds of the postseason.
Quarterback Sam Darnold was the leader of Seattle’s passing game, completing 325 of 481 attempts (67.6 percent) for 4,063 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions in 17 starts. His efficiency and volume helped Seattle maintain a strong aerial attack each week.
On the ground, Kenneth Walker III led the Seahawks’ rushing attack with 1,027 yards on 221 attempts, averaging 4.6 yards per carry and scoring five rushing touchdowns. Zach Charbonnet also contributed 730 rushing yards and 12 total touchdowns while averaging 4.0 yards per carry, giving Seattle a two‑headed backfield that kept defenses off balance.
Seattle’s receiving corps was anchored by Jaxon Smith‑Njigba, who led the team with 1,793 receiving yards on 119 receptions and 10 touchdowns. Smith‑Njigba’s productivity helped drive the Seahawks’ passing attack and made Seattle one of the toughest offenses to defend in the NFC. Cooper Kupp chipped in with 593 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while tight end AJ Barner added 519 yards and six touchdowns, providing multiple reliable targets throughout the lineup.
Additional contributors included Rashid Shaheed, Tory Horton, and Cody White, giving Seattle depth and explosive playmaking ability at receiver. The Seahawks’ offense totaled 4,063 passing yards, 1,757 rushing yards, and a combined 35 offensive touchdowns from the team’s top rushers and receivers, reflecting a balanced and explosive attack.
Defensively, Ernest Jones IV led the team with 126 total tackles and five interceptions, anchoring the linebacker corps. Seattle also got production from Drake Thomas, Nick Emmanwori, and Devon Witherspoon in run support and coverage, helping the defense make key stops throughout the season.
Seattle’s season totals and statistical balance helped the franchise secure its first‑round bye and the No. 1 seed, positioning the Seahawks as one of the NFC’s most complete teams heading into playoff action.
The Seahawks will begin their postseason in the Divisional Round, hosting the winner of the NFC Wild Card matchup between the No. 4 Carolina Panthers and No. 5 Los Angeles Rams. Seattle’s balanced offense, explosive passing game, and physical rushing attack should make them a formidable opponent as they pursue a deep playoff run.
