Entering the 2025 season, the national media was not as high on the Seattle Seahawks as many fans of the team were. And now after a heartbreaking loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the national media is not giving Seattle any benefit of the doubt. Below are a handful of a power rankings from across the NFL National landscape.
One national media site that has Seattle a little lower than the others was Yahoo Sports. Yahoo had Seattle ranked 18th last week, and have them coming in at 23rd this week. Yahoo noted that outside of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the Seahawks could not get their passing game going.
Overall, the national media seems to have Seattle in the bottom half of the NFL, but not completely in the gutters of the league. Much of this is not disagreeable. The Seahawks’ defense looks like a legitimate top-10 unit this season and should keep the team in most of their games this season. However, Seattle’s ceiling looks to be low with the offensive struggles. Time will tell if Klink Kubiak and this “new-look” offense will be able to get the ball running (literally and figuratively).
