Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Each week we ask questions of the most plugged-in
Seattle Seahawks fans and fans across the country.It’s time for the final Seahawks Reacts of the 2025 season! Need I remind everyone that the Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl? It’s the second Lombardi Trophy in the Seahawks’ expanding cabinet of championship hardware, and based on how surveyed fans responded, the second Super Bowl was sweeter than the first. Almost two-thirds said that this
year was the greatest in Seahawks franchise history, even over the Legion of Boom team that gave the Seahawks their first Super Bowl in 2013.
Any recency bias (and non-response bias, for you statisticians) aside, it’s easy to see why the 2025 Seahawks would be viewed as having the best season in franchise history. While the 2013 Seahawks had a far more impressively emphatic Super Bowl victory and hammered Peyton Manning and the record-setting Denver Broncos offense, they were also one of the top contenders to win it all to begin with. Hardly anyone could’ve foreseen the 2025 Seahawks being an eventual champion at the start of the regular season. Playoff team? Sure. Super Bowl winner? Audacious.
The 2013 Seahawks did vanquish the San Francisco 49ers in an epic NFC Championship Game, but the 2025 Seahawks one-upped themselves by taking two of three from the Rams and 49ers, effectively winning the NFC West twice. And yes, even though this New England Patriots team has zero resemblance to the one that beat the Seahawks in Super Bowl 49, it’s super sweet to even the score.
Please note that we did not phrase the question as the 2025 Seahawks being better than the 2013 Seahawks, but the way this season panned out absolutely felt better in the moment and will likely hold up over time.
As for the other question, it was a no contest. Devon Witherspoon’s masterful performance in coverage and as a blitzer was enough to make him Seattle’s defensive MVP—perhaps he was a stat correction away from being the game MVP?
Thanks to everyone for your responses! We’ll have offseason Reacts surveys but not at the same frequency as the regular and postseason. Stay tuned for more Seahawks coverage on Field Gulls in the months to come!
