The 2023 NFL regular season comes to an end this weekend, and, as is tradition, the annual Pro Bowl selections were announced the Wednesday night before the final set of games.

Watch: What Pete Carroll and the Seahawks told the media after NYE loss

Here’s what Pete Carroll and a few Seattle players had to say to the media after their loss to Pittsburgh.

The Seahawks suffered another frustrating loss at home yesterday, this time against the Steelers – and this time dealing a potentially fatal blow to their playoff hopes. Now they need to beat the Cardinals in Week 18 and hope the Bears upset the Packers, otherwise they’ll be going home early again.

Seahawks safety Julian Loves welcomes his newborn son for Christmas

Merry Christmas to Julian Love and his young family!

I believe it is safe to say Seattle Seahawks safety Julian Love is having one of the best weeks of his life. On Monday night, he snagged two crucial interceptions in Seattle’s upset 20-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles – including the one to seal the win. Later, he welcomed the birth of his son into this world.

Love did not travel with the team to Nashville ahead of the Seahawks’ upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans. But since his son has arrived, he will be traveling to the Music City to meet up with his team before a critical Week 16 matchup.

The Seahawks will be facing an incredibly injured Titans team, but one that is more than capable of ruining a season for someone. Seattle will need Love in the lineup more than ever to help avoid such an unfortunate outcome.

Speaking of other safety news, Jamal Adams has been ruled OUT for Sunday. Not only will Adams not be playing, he also did not make the trip to the Volunteer State.

Given Adams’ persisting injury concerns, his diminished play on the field, his increasing distractions off it, and his salary, it is entirely possible we’ve seen the last of him in a Seahawks jersey.

The Seattle Seahawks’ monumental upset of the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football was filled with plenty of memorable moments.

The Seattle Seahawks’ monumental upset of the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football was filled with plenty of memorable moments. While we will all remember Drew Lock’s touchdown strike to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, or DK Metcalf’s improbable reception, we should be giving plenty of Love to a pair of Seahawks safeties as well.

Julian Love came up with the two biggest defensive plays of the night against Philadelphia. He intercepted Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts twice, once to end the game and once to turn the tide in the fourth quarter. But his efforts were not solo.

Love’s running mate in the defensive backfield, Quandre Diggs, deserves some credit as well. Diggs took to the media to talk about his role in one of the interceptions.

Seattle’s secondary played about as well as they possibly could have. Philadelphia has an explosive offense, but their passing attack was stymied thanks to the efforts of Love and Diggs.

The Seahawks will need both of these star players to continue their high level of play as they push towards the playoffs.

Seahawks safety Julian Love wins NFC Defensive Player of the Week

Love had two remarkable clutch interceptions in the fourth quarter, one saving a touchdown and the other clinching the game for the Seahawks.

The man of the hour is Drew Lock, who put together a 92-yard game-winning drive for the Seahawks in their upset victory over the Eagles on Monday night. However, all of Lock’s efforts would have been wasted if it wasn’t for a career-best performance from Seattle safety Julian Love.

Love had two remarkable clutch interceptions in the fourth quarter, one saving a touchdown and the other clinching the game for the Seahawks. For his efforts, Love has been named the NFC’s Defensive Player of the Week.

It’s a well-deserved honor for Love, who’s flown under the radar as part of a talented but underperforming Seahawks defense this year. He now leads the team with four interceptions and has allowed an 82.2 passer rating in coverage. He’s also been relatively reliable as a tackler even as the rest of Seattle’s DBs have struggled in this deparment – Love has missed seven attempts this year (6.6%). He has also been a significant contributor on special teams.

Love has not made a Pro Bowl team yet in his career, but his case for this season is getting stronger every week. His rise has Seattle fans all the more eager to cut ties with embattled strong safety Jamal Adams, who was inactive on Monday night against the Eagles with a knee injury and was not present at the stadium.

Best and worst PFF grades for Seattle from 20-17 win over Philadelphia

Best and worst Pro Football Focus grades from Week 15 win

The Seahawks pulled off an improbable upset last night over the Eagles. While they willed themselves to a desperately-needed win, there’s obviously a lot of room for this team to improve. While the secondary and the offensive line performed well as a whole, there are some glaring holes and ongoing issues on both sides of the ball.

For one thing, guard Anthony Bradford is the clear weakest link in the chain for the offensive line. Another thing that’s becoming more clear every week is that Bobby Wagner has declined in coverage a great deal. Both players were among the worst performers for the Seahawks this week. Here are the top and bottom five grades on both sides of the ball, according to Pro Football Focus.

Watch: What Drew Lock and the Seahawks told the media after MNF win

Watch what an emotional Drew Lock and his teammates had to say to the media after the game.

The Seahawks looked like they were toast. Trailing Philadelphia by four points with 92 yards to go and two minutes to play, their chances of winning the game and salvaging their season seemed like they were about to vanish. And then Drew Lock, Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and Jaxon-Smith Njigba put together an incredible game-winning drive, secured by sensational second clutch interception from safety Julian Love.

The upset victory did more than just keep their playoff hopes alive, it galvanized the team in a way that they haven’t been all season. Don’t believe me? Just watch what an emotional Lock and his teammates had to say to the media after the game.

The victory looked like anything but a lock for Seattle., Then its quarterback found a way for the Seahawks to win at Lumen Field on Monday against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Drew Lock led a season-long 92-yard drive that concluded with a 29-yard TD pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba with 28 seconds left that gave the Seahawks a 20-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles had a last gasp to try and win or tie the game. Jalen Hurts threw a pass that Julian Love made a spectacular interception on to seal the win for Seattle.

Pete Carroll is 8-0 in his head-coaching career against the Eagles.
