The Seattle Seahawks face the Washington Commanders in Week 10 of the 2023 NFL season on Sunday November 12th. To win, the Seahawks must focus on five key areas:
The Seattle Seahawks believe they can close the gap on San Francisco in what’s expected to be a two-team race for the NFC West title. Geno Smith proved to be a more than capable starting QB and had an entire offseason knowing he's the starter.
Bobby Wagner still remains one of the top inside linebackers in the NFL and has returned to Seattle for what might be the last chapter to a possible Hall of Fame career.
Geno Smith saw no reason to try and downplay the performance the Seattle Seahawks had just put forth. Seattle’s season began with an unexpected flop that left fans booing, players losing control of their emotions and the Seahawks feeling flat outplayed by their division foe. Seattle’s 30-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams was an immediate wakeup call that last year’s unexpected success and the feel-good story surrounding that team is long in the past. Seattle started this season believing it could be a contender in the NFC West. Instead, Seattle was thoroughly outplayed by a Rams roster that’s undergone major surgery that gutted most of the core from the team that two seasons ago won the Super Bowl.
Geno Smith threw a second touchdown pass to Tyler Lockett on the opening drive of overtime, lifting the Seattle Seahawks to a 37-31 win over the Detroit Lions.
The Wild Card weekend pits Seattle against their NFC rival San Francisco 49ers, 13 - 4, who defeated the Hawks in both regular season matchups. What can fans expect? Which team is more popular in the west?
