The Seattle Seahawks are nonetheless hopeful that they will win the NFC West, however on the very least they’re assured no worse than second within the division after Thursday’s 6-3 win over the Chicago Bears. They may’ve dipped as little as third by dropping out however we all know that’s not taking place.
Ending both first or second additionally has an impression on the Seahawks’ 2025 common season schedule. The checklist of opponents is formulaic and rotates each season, so subsequent yr the Seahawks will face the whole NFC South and AFC South, together with the same old six video games towards divisional opposition.
The unknowns for the Seahawks are the house recreation towards an NFC North crew, in addition to highway video games at an NFC East and AFC North crew. These matchups are depending on the place the Seahawks end within the standings—in different phrases, if the Seahawks end second, they may play the corresponding second-placed groups from these aforementioned divisions.
Right here’s what the Seahawks’ 2025 opponents checklist seems to be like as issues stand:
Dwelling
Los Angeles RamsArizona CardinalsSan Francisco 49ersNew Orleans SaintsTampa Bay BuccaneersIndianapolis ColtsHouston TexansMinnesota Vikings (might change by finish of season)
Away
Los Angeles RamsArizona CardinalsSan Francisco 49ersTennessee TitansJacksonville JaguarsWashington Commanders (might change by finish of season)Atlanta FalconsCarolina PanthersPittsburgh Steelers (might change by finish of season)
Current outcomes have narrowed all the way down to the Seahawks taking part in both the Eagles or Commanders out of the NFC East and both the Steelers or Ravens from the AFC North. Seattle might play any one of many Lions, Packers, or Vikings at dwelling of the NFC North trio, but when the Vikings win on Sunday towards the Packers it’ll be narrowed all the way down to Minnesota or Detroit.
Sure, there’s a probability the Seahawks are taking part in Russell Wilson’s Steelers in 2025, though Pittsburgh’s current skid and Wilson’s struggles operating a functioning offense might have Pittsburgh reconsidering a multi-year extension. The AFC North won’t be determined till Week 18, so we gained’t know the entire Seahawks’ 2025 opponents this weekend, however this provides you a normal concept of what’s to return subsequent yr.
It’s foolish to undertaking win-loss totals for subsequent season whereas this season continues to be taking place, however after consecutive seasons of taking part in the vaunted AFC and NFC North, the Seahawks getting two divisions perennially incapable of fielding a couple of playoff crew could be a pleasant break… supplied the AFC and NFC South stay weaker divisions. Nothing is assured.
