General manager John Schneider chose the grind today, with the team announcing a flurry of roster and practice squad transactions going into Sunday's game again

Fast forward to December, and the Seahawks are 10-3, not only fighting for a playoff spot but also for the NFC West

Indianapolis faces one of the best teams in the NFL at Lumen Field, one of the league's toughest places to play.

The Seahawks' success has come from a multitude of avenues, but quarterback Sam Darnold and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba have been two of the biggest reasons why. Both were listed as potential MVP candidates by ESPN contributor Bill Barnwell.

Rookie Nick Emmanwori highlights the Seahawks’ rising swagger, praising Seattle’s defensive mentality after another dominant performance.

The Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks meet in a battle with playoff implications Sunday. Kickoff from Seattle, Washington, is 4:25 p.m. ET

The Seahawks’ last loss came at SoFi Stadium to the Rams, 21-19, in Week 11. Darnold was picked off four times. Since then, Macdonald’s squad owns a three-game winning streak, besting the Titans, Vikings, and Falcons, 93-33. All told, there’s a reason the ‘Hawks’ plus-161 scoring differential is the best in the league.

The Seattle Seahawks have exceeded all preseason expectations. Seattle’s 9-3 record is tied for the best in the NFC. The projected over/under win total was 8.5 before the regular season started, and it has ascended to 12.5 wins on BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Indianapolis Colts promoted 44-year-old QB Philip Rivers to the active roster Saturday, making him eligible to play — and perhaps start — in Sunday’s crucial game in Seattle.
