Once again, the Seattle Seahawks came into another stadium held the NFL’s number one offense to single-digit points. The San Francisco 49ers got to stay home and prepare for an entire week, with home-field advantage all the way through the Super Bowl on the line.
But take heart! You’re not alone bang gang Niner tang or whatever it is. Seattle has been doing this to everyone. All year. It has been a thoroughly unenjoyable experience to play against the Seahawks defense.
Provided
for your enjoyment, faithful 12s, how the Seahawks have made life miserable for opponents. With minimal exception, every quarterback had their worst game in one or more meaningful metric against the 2025 #1 seed Seattle Seahawks.
Week 18 – Brock Purdy
You just saw it. Not much need be added. I will though – 127 passing yards was Brock Purdy’s fewest and 3 sacks his most. Enjoy the road.
Week 17 – Bryce Young
Young managed only 54 passing yards; his fewest by half this season.
It was his worst Yards per Attempt of his career, and second-worst EPA per dropback.
Week 11 & 16 – Matt Stafford
In the first matchup in particular, Stafford posted a 53.6% completion percentage, and his longest pass was 23 yards. Both are seasonal worsts for the likely MVP runner-up.
Week 15 – Philip Rivers
Rivers came out of retirement for the most interesting and sentimental game of the week, but it wasn’t a flurry of success. On 27 attempts, Rivers threw an interception and managed an unfathomable 0.9 Air Yards per Attempt. That does mean what you think it does; Rivers could only test the secondary on average one yard past the line of scrimmage per completion.
3.3 and 4.3 AYPA were his other two games if you were wondering. Tripled.
Week 14 – Kirk Cousins
Cousins threw half of his season’s interceptions, and posted a 38.5 Rating against the Seahawks, worst by 20 points.
Week 13 – Max Brosmer
Would you believe it, Brosmer never threw a single interception this season outside of the Seattle game? Well, he didn’t. Four INT this season, four INT against the Seahawks.
Week 12 – Cam Ward
We have found our first exception. Somehow, the Tennessee Titans played Houston, Seattle, and Jacksonville in three straight weeks, and that is when Cam Ward decided to turn things around in his inaugural season. He played well against the Seahawks and has been a revelation since then.
Week 10 – Jacoby Brissett
Another 50% completion rate, his worst of the year. But 5 sacks and 2 fumbles?? That’s the good stuff, baby. It unlocked the fumble potential of this team.
Week 9 – Jayden Daniels
Of games he completed this year, this was Daniels’ fewest yards, most amount of interceptions, most amount of sacks, and still had to scramble 9 times, most this year.
Week 7 – C.J. Stroud
C.J. Stroud did not enjoy this day. He went 23 of 49. 44.9% completion. Under half. Sacked three times, tied for most, and 3.8 net yards gained per pass attempt was worst by a yard.
Not to mention by the miracle of technology and rules completely avoided, Stroud does not have two safeties on his permanent record.
Week 6 – Trevor Lawrence
Lawrence has really been on one this season, and did his very best to be an exception to this list. Over 250 yards with 2 TD is a good first glance. But no, the Seahawks are still no fun to play for him either. Lawrence was sacked a staggering 7 times for 44 yards behind 17 QB hits. That’s about as un-fun as football gets.
Week 5 – Baker Mayfield
Alright, you finally got us. Tip of the hat to Mayfield, who still looked like the MVP way back in Week 5. May I point out that this game took place without Julian Love, Devon Witherspoon, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Riq Woolen got hurt?
Week 4 – Kyler Murray
Kyler had a bad year, and is now labeled a kind of bad quarterback, which seems fair. But this was an especially bad day; he threw 2 INT, managed one 18-yard completion and was sacked 6 times. All three are season-worst marks. You could say he came up short.
Week 3 – Spencer Rattler
I hope you’re sitting for this. Statistically, against Seattle was Spencer Rattler’s third-best game of his career. A lot can happen when you’re down by 57 points and Nick Emmanwori is injured. Just let it rip, Spence!
Week 2 – Aaron Rodgers
It seems like Rodgers had one worse game than this, in November against the Los Angeles Chargers. But the MOB ties are not to be denied. Rodgers had far less fun here than against the Chargers, and I can prove it! He was pressured on 40.5% of his dropbacks. That’s doubled his next worse games.
The Seahawks have ruined football for their opponents. Football is no fun, sir.
