Despite initial doubts about the Seahawks’ direction after switching from Geno Smith to Sam Darnold and trading D.K. Metcalf, the team has excelled in the 2025 season, now favored to win the Super Bowl. Key factors include Darnold’s deep passing ability, Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s increased production, a more varied pass rush, significant defensive improvements, and the impactful coaching of Mike Macdonald, who revitalized the roster. The Seahawks have surged from the 18th to the 3rd in scoring offense and strengthened their overall defense, showcasing their transformation into a formidable contender.
