For the second time in their history, the Seahawks will enter a season looking to defend a Super Bowl title. What to look for in regards Mike Macdonald’s club?

In this story:

Off a 10-7 campaign in 2024 which did not result in a playoff appearance, Mike Macdonald’s Seattle Seahawks owned a 3-2 record after five games this past season. Those setbacks were heartbreaking home losses to the San Francisco 49ers (17-13) in Week 1 and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (38-35) in Week 5.

Apparently, the eventual NFC West champions were just biding time. Macdonald’s squad would lose only one game the remainder of the season, a campaign which culminated with a 29-13 victory over the overwhelmed New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium.

The ‘Hawks will enter the 2026 NFL season with a 10-game overall winning streak, but without several key components from their championship campaign. That includes five members of general manager John Schneider 2022 draft class—the most notable being Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III.

There’s still lots of talent in the Pacific Northwest. Rejuvenated quarterback Sam Darnold’s fifth team proved to a be a fit, and he will still be throwing to 2025 NFL Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Macdonald’s defense took some hits in free agency, but this unit is still led by Leonard Williams, DeMarcus Lawrence, Ernest Jones IV, and Devon Witherspoon.
