9/29/24 | Are the Seahawks for real? Lions present Mike Macdonald's biggest test yet. Of the many storylines percolating when the Seahawks play at Detroit for the third straight year on Monday, one figured to stand out: Could Mike Macdonald's crew use the game to prove it's for real? In becoming one of only five teams in the NFL to start 3-0, the Seahawks have been led by a defense that ranks fourth in points allowed (14.3 per game) and second in yards allowed (248.7). The asterisk attached to that stat are the three teams and quarterbacks Seattle has beaten: a rookie in Week 1 (Denver's Bo Nix), a journeyman and mostly career backup in Week 2 (New England's Jacoby Brissett), and two backups in Week 3 (Miami's Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle). There won't be any “yeah buts” if the Seahawks go on the road Monday night and beat a Detroit team coming off an appearance in the NFC conference title game and featuring an offense regarded as one of the top in the NFL, if underachieving just a bit through three games, scoring 20.7 points per game, 16th in the league, but having gained the fourth-most yards (373 per game).

9/24/24 | Win vs. Dolphins illustrates how well Seahawks did in 2023 draft. Miami quarterback Skylar Thompson still had the ball and no idea Hall was approaching from behind. “Huge,” Hall said of how wide his eyes got as he barreled toward Thompson, who was standing near the sideline waiting for someone to come open deep on a Hail Mary play as the first half ended. With the crowd roar steadily rising with each step, Hall finally got to Thompson, leveling him with a blindside hit to put a fitting capper on a dominant defensive first half in a 24-3 win for the Seahawks. “I turned around and I'm just like, 'He still has the ball,'” Hall said.
