The Seahawks are 5-2 with a +57 point differential and few blemishes on their resume, while the NFC has yet to see a juggernaut emerge.

While playing under an expiring contract with the Seattle Seahawks in 2025, NFL analyst Mike Garafolo updated CB Riq Woolen's trade status ahead of the NFL trade deadline.

The San Francisco 49ers were the only NFC West team with a game in Week 8. San Francisco lost that game, breaking a three-way logjam of 5-2 teams at the top of the division.

The Cardinals, Seahawks and Rams were all idle. They had their byes.

Beaten-up San Francisco loses in Houston to same Texans the Seahawks beat last week. Next for Seattle: Next weekend at Washington.

The Seahawks return fresh off of their bye week with a road test against the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium in Week 9. Jen Mueller and John Boyle preview the matchup with the 3-5 Commanders.

The rest of the NFC West was on bye, and no one had to lift a finger to put the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams into first place. All the 49ers had to do was lose to the Houston Texans 26-15.

A tiebreaker cost the Seattle Seahawks the NFC West title in 2024. Could a Week 1 loss at home come back to haunt Mike Macdonald’s squad this season?
