The offseason saw significant roster changes, as longtime players Tyler Lockett, Geno Smith, and DK Metcalf departed the team. Lockett was released and later signed with the Tennessee Titans, while Smith joined the Las Vegas Raiders and Metcalf was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers.^[1] Key free agent additions included quarterback Sam Darnold, wide receiver Cooper Kupp, and linebacker DeMarcus Lawrence, and the team re-signed linebacker Ernest Jones IV to a three-year contract. On November 4, prior to the trade deadline, Seattle acquired All-Pro returner and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints.^[2]

Seattle improved upon their 10–7 record from 2024 and clinched a playoff berth in Week 16 with an overtime victory over the rival Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football, ending a two-year postseason absence. The team won 13 games for the first time since 2013 and secured a franchise-record 14 regular-season victories with a 13–3 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18. In a divisional round rematch against San Francisco, the Seahawks earned their first playoff victory since 2019 and advanced to their first NFC Championship Game since 2014. They became the first Super Bowl champion to complete an entire postseason without committing a turnover.^[3]

Individually, Jaxon Smith-Njigba was awarded Offensive Player of the Year and set a franchise single-season record with 1,793 receiving yards, surpassing DK Metcalf’s previous mark of 1,303 set in 2020. The Seahawks also posted a franchise-record point differential of +191, breaking the previous record of +186 established during the 2013 Super Bowl-winning season. The defense was the top scoring defense in the league^[4] and earned the nickname "The Dark Side".^[5]

The Seattle Seahawks recorded the highest average home attendance among teams in the state of Washington, with 68,740 spectators per game.^[6] This was slightly ahead of the football team of the Washington Huskies, who averaged 68,238.^[7]

The Dark Side

The Dark Side is a nickname used to refer to the defensive unit of the Seattle Seahawks beginning in the 2025 NFL season.^[8] The nickname originated within the Seahawks locker room during the 2025 season.^[9] It was originally known as the "death zone" early on, but had become the "Dark Side" by the start of the 2025–2026 NFL season.^[8] It was later referenced in media coverage of the team’s defensive performance, especially following their victory in Super Bowl LX.^[10]

Defensive characteristics

During the 2025 season, the Seahawks defense utilized multiple-front alignments and emphasized pressure generated by the defensive line.^[11] The unit ranked among league leaders in several major defensive statistical categories, including points allowed per game and takeaways.^[12] The Dark Side is frequently compared favorably to the 2010s Seahawks defense, the Legion of Boom.^[13]^[14]^[15]

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the game-deciding play occurred following a Seahawks field goal. On the ensuing kickoff, Steelers returner Kaleb Johnson failed to go after the ball, mistakenly thinking it was not live. However, because the ball landed in the kickoff landing zone, it was live, and Seahawks player George Holani recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown.^[23]

Although heavily favored, the Seahawks struggled against the Colts and quarterback Philip Rivers, who came out of retirement to make his first start since the 2020 season.^[35] Despite scoring no touchdowns, Seattle prevailed as kicker Jason Myers converted six field goals, including a 56-yard attempt with 29 seconds remaining, to outlast the Colts. With the win, the Seahawks improved to 11–3 and they swept the AFC South and were 5–0 against the AFC.^[36]

Jason Myers' six field-goal conversions set a new Seahawks franchise record.^[37]

The Rams led 30–14 in the fourth quarter with eight minutes remaining. However, a 58-yard punt return by Rashid Shaheed resulted in a Seahawks touchdown, followed by a two-point conversion. After another Rams punt, a 31-yard run by Shaheed set up a 26-yard touchdown pass to AJ Barner, bringing the Seahawks within two points. Seattle then attempted another two-point conversion. Although the pass was initially ruled incomplete, a replay review determined that quarterback Sam Darnold had attempted a backward pass. Zach Charbonnet recovered the loose ball in the end zone and was credited with the conversion, tying the game.^[38] With the Rams missing a 48-yard field goal attempt, the game proceeded to overtime, where the Rams scored a touchdown on the opening possession. The Seahawks responded with a touchdown of their own and again opted for a two-point conversion. Darnold completed a pass to Eric Saubert, giving Seattle an improbable victory. With the win, the Seahawks clinched their first playoff berth since 2022.^[39]

The Seahawks became the first team to win in overtime after their opponent scored a touchdown first, following a change in the overtime rules that guarantees each team a possession unless the defense scores a safety on the opening possession. They also became the first team in NFL history to win an overtime game with a two-point conversion.^[40] The Seahawks won their first game in franchise history when down 15 or more points in the fourth quarter, breaking a streak of 172 losses.^[41]

This was the Seahawks' first home playoff game against the 49ers since 2013, their second playoff game against them since 2022, and their third postseason matchup overall. They utterly dominated from the first play, with Rashid Shaheed returning the opening kickoff for a touchdown, and only allowed six points while scoring in every quarter. Seattle forced six turnovers and scored points off of most of them. With their first postseason win since 2019, the Seahawks advanced to the NFC Championship Game for the first time since 2014 and secured their first home win against the 49ers since 2021.^[44]^[45]

The teams traded leads in the first half. Seattle scored a quick go-ahead touchdown just before halftime and led 17–13 at the intermission. There were two notable blunders in the third quarter, one by each team. Ram Xavier Smith had his second muffed punt return of the game; he tripped and touched the ball, which was recovered by Seahawk Dareke Young. On the very next play, Darnold threw a touchdown pass to Jake Bobo, extending the Seahawks' lead to 24–13. Later, trailing 31–20, Matthew Stafford had his 3rd down and 12 pass attempt broken up by Riq Woolen, but then Woolen was called for a taunting penalty, giving the Rams new life. On the next play, Stafford tossed a touchdown pass to Puka Nacua, who was being defended by Woolen, leaving the Rams trailing by only four points. However, they were unable to score again, and the Seahawks were off to the Super Bowl.

With their first playoff win over the Rams in franchise history, the Seahawks secured their first win in the NFC Championship game since 2014 and improved to 4–0 in the NFC Championship.^[46]

Both defenses played well, putting intense pressure on each quarterback throughout the game. However, Darnold was able to evade the pressure well enough to extend drives and eke out four field goals—the only scoring until the fourth quarter—with the help of effective running by eventual Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Kenneth Walker III.^[47] By contrast, Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was sacked six times, breaking Joe Burrow's record for most sacks in a single postseason with 21,^[48] and was ineffective for most of the game. In the final quarter, each quarterback finally threw a touchdown pass, and Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record with his fifth field goal, but three Maye turnovers—a fumble and two interceptions, including a pick six by Uchenna Nwosu—led to 17 points scored by the Seahawks.^[49]^[50] Maye ended the scoring with a second touchdown completion in garbage time.^[51]

The Seahawks clinched their first Super Bowl title since 2013 and their second in franchise history.^[52] This also marked Sam Darnold's first win over the Patriots. At age 38, Mike Macdonald became the third-youngest head coach to win a Super Bowl, behind Sean McVay and Mike Tomlin.^[53] Darnold (who had led the league in turnovers in the regular season) and the Seahawks (second in regular season turnovers) became the first Super Bowl champions to commit no turnovers in their postseason run.^[54]
