The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots are slated to face off Sunday in the final game of the 2025 NFL season, with bragging rights as world champions for the next year on the line.
Both teams come
into the game statistically among the best in the league in both putting points on the board and preventing opponents from scoring.
While Seattle enters the game as the third highest scoring team in the NFL, the play who led the Seahawks in touchdowns scored during the 2025 season, Zach Charbonnet, will be unavailable after tearing suffering a torn ACL against the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round of the playoffs.
Thus, with Ken Walker and George Holani the only healthy running backs on the roster, the Seahawks announced Saturday afternoon that they had elevated a pair of backs from the practice squad ahead of the game Sunday.
Cam Akers started for the Los Angeles Rams when they defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in Super Bowl LVI, while Velus Jones has only played in a single playoff game in his career, the 41-6 drubbing of the 49ers last month.
And now it’s on to the inactives Sunday afternoon.
