Seattle Seahawks Week 13 TV coverage map

Seattle Seahawks Week 13 TV coverage map

The Seattle Seahawks are taking on the New York Jets this weekend at the Meadowlands. Seattle is back in the early 10:00 am Pacific slot of games, a time zone they have excelled in recent years. The Seahawks will look to keep their winning ways going against a Jets team on life support.

But of course, none of this matters if you can’t watch the game! Seattle will once again be broadcast on FOX, and have the broadcast duo of Adam Amin and Mark Sanchez. Below is the television coverage map for the Seahawks/Jets game. If you are in the lime green zone, congrats! You will get to see these teams face off Sunday morning.

Sunday will mark the Seahawks’ first trip to the Meadowlands to play the Jets since the 2016 season, when Seattle beat New York 27-17. This will also mark the first time the Seahawks have had to defend against quarterback Aaron Rodgers since 2021, when Green Bay shut Seattle out 17-0 at Lambeau Field.

Rodgers, while still deadly, is not the quarterback he once was. Although, at age 40 and coming off an Achilles injury, Rodgers is having a solid statistical season with 17 touchdown passes against 7 interceptions. However, he has not thrown a pick since October 20th.

Sataoa Laumea to start at guard for the Seahawks in Week 13

Sataoa Laumea to start at guard for the Seahawks in Week 13

The Seattle Seahawks have made a bit of a surprising roster move. On Friday, head coach Mike Macdonald announced the team was going to have fourth round rookie Sataoa Laumea start at right guard in place of the injured Anthony Bradford.

Bradford was placed on injured reserve after exiting Seattle’s Week 12 game against the Arizona Cardinals with an ankle injury. This of course left an opening for a battle between the pair of rookies, Christian Haynes and Sataoa Laumea. A competition was held between the two and clearly Laumea had won.

Selected in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL draft, Laumea was a four-year starter for the Utah Utes, and comes from a large family of 10 children.

Laumea’s victory in the starting guard competition comes as a bit of an upset. Christian Haynes had been the primary backup behind Bradford, even rotating at times during games. As for Laumea, not only will this be the first start of his career, it will literally be the first time he takes the field in a regular season NFL game. For every week this year, Laumea had been made inactive. Now, he starts.

While this is a good sign that the Seahawks possibly found a steal in the later rounds, it does bring up some concern about Haynes, who was arguably the top guard prospect in the draft. Haynes could not beat out Bradford for a starting role (who has been mostly awful this year) and now he can’t beat out his fellow rookie? Haynes’ development will surely be something to keep an eye on moving forward.

Seahawks relatively healthy going into Week 13

Seahawks relatively healthy going into Week 13

The first place Seattle Seahawks will look to defend their perch atop the NFC West this weekend in the Big Apple. Seattle is traveling east once more to play the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium, and it appears they are going to be relatively healthy headed into this cross-conference showdown.

No players have been ruled OUT, no one is DOUBTFUL, and only two players are listed as QUESTIONABLE: tight end Brady Russell (who has missed the last two games) and safety AJ Finley. Everyone else is good to go! It was a rather lengthy report for full participation at practice, which is exactly what you want to see this time of year.

Among those who appear good to go for Sunday’s game are wide receivers Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, defensive lineman Leonard Williams, and tackle Abe Lucas. While Brady Russell is listed as QUESTIONABLE, he too was a full participant in Friday’s practice.

The Seahawks and Jets will kick off at 10:00 am Pacific Standard Time.

3 Bold Predictions for Seahawks defense vs. Jets in Week 13

3 Bold Predictions for Seahawks offense vs. Jets in Week 13

The Seattle Seahawks are entering an extremely winnable game versus the 3-8 New York Jets in Week 13. Mike Macdonald’s defense put forth a dominant showing in the Week 12 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. They’ll love their chances of repeating those efforts against Aaron Rodgers and a struggling Jets offense. We’ve compiled three bold predictions for the defense on Sunday.

Leonard Williams dominates again

Leonard Williams was downright dominant in last weekend’s win over the Cardinals, recording seven quarterback pressures and two sacks. Williams’ Pro Football Focus grade was an elite 87.0. It was arguably his best single-game showing as a Seahawk. Fans can expect a solid follow-up performance against a lackluster Jets offensive line.

Coby Bryant records another interception

Rotational safety Coby Bryant has been maximizing his opportunity to start in recent weeks. Bryant made the game-defining play in last weekend’s victory over the Cardinals by returning a Kyler Murray 4th-and-1 throwing attempt for a 69-yard pick-six touchdown. He was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week. The versatile defensive back will be anxious to pick off Rodgers, who has thrown seven interceptions this season.

The Jets fail to surpass 17 points

The Seahawks have held consecutive opponents, the 49ers and Cards, to 17 and six points respectively. Macdonald’s defense has been dominant since exiting the Week 10 bye. Meanwhile the hapless Jets offense is averaging a 27th-ranked 18.5 points per game.

Seahawks crack into Top 10 in Fox Sports’ power rankings

Seahawks crack into Top 10 in Fox Sports’ power rankings

The Seattle Seahawks have found themselves some new momentum as of late. Three weeks ago this team was on life support at 4-5 and in sole possession of last place in the NFC West. Now they are 6-5, in first place, and currently hold the No. 3 seed in the conference.

Seattle’s rise from the ashes has not gone unnoticed nationally

For the Seahawks to go from the basement to the top in a two week stretch is remarkable, and it also showcases how volatile the NFC West has been. Every team is either 6-5 or 5-6, which means at any given week the standings could shift drastically given how well each team does or does not do.

Seattle will look to keep their momentum going with a road game against the New York Jets in Week 13. The Jets are experiencing another disappointing season, and most of the responsibility falls upon Aaron Rodgers and his meddling. It will be the first time the Seahawks have faced Rodgers since the 2021 season.

New York is struggling, but their defense is still stingy and can ruin anyone’s day. Seattle will need to dot their I’s and cross their T’s going into this one.

Seahawks to wear white jersey/navy pants in Week 13

Seahawks to wear white jersey/navy pants in Week 13

The Seattle Seahawks are back on the road this weekend, and will once again wear their typical away threads. For the third time this year, Seattle will wear the white jersey/blue pants uniform combo. They last wore it in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers, and first in Week 2 this year in New England. Both were victories.

Overall, the Seahawks are 30-21 in this particular combo, and it is their second most common uniform option behind their typical all-navy home look.

Kudos to the Seahawks social media team, with an incredibly effective troll-job with their uniform post. Defensive lineman Leonard Williams is prominently featured, as he was originally the No. 6 overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft, selected by… the New York Jets. Alongside him is Johnathan Hankins, who entered into this league as a Giant.

Of course, with the Seattle Seahawks traveling to MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands, one cannot help but think about how the white/navy look was the uniform combo the team wore during their triumph in Super Bowl XLVIII. For many 12’s out there, this will always be their favorite look for the Seahawks.

Seattle kicks off against the Jets 10:00 am Pacific Standard Time on Fox.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith doesn’t see Jets game as revenge opportunity

Seahawks QB Geno Smith doesn’t see Jets game as revenge opportunity

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith will face his old team, the New York Jets in Sunday’s Week 13 contest, but he isn’t thinking about the past. The Jets originally selected Smith with the No. 39 overall selection in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft.

A potential first-round hopeful, Smith slid in the draft and began his tenure hoping to be the Jets’ long-searching answer at franchise quarterback. Smith ultimately played out his four-year rookie contract in East Rutherford, but it never went according to plan. As a rookie, he threw 21 interceptions and 12 touchdowns, and as a sophomore, he had 13:13 TD:INT ratio.

Smith was eventually benched as a third-year quarterback in 2015, and he suffered a season-ending torn ACL as Ryan Fitzpatrick’s backup in 2016. Smith would spend 2017 as the backup quarterback in New York with the Giants, and again in 2018 with the Los Angeles Chargers. He joined the Seahawks in 2019 and the rest is history.

Sunday’s Seahawks-Jets contest will be the first time Smith has faced the Jets at MetLife Stadium. His lone previous meeting versus the franchise that drafted him occurred two campaigns ago in Seattle. But Smith shot down the notion that it’s any sort of revenge game.

“As far as the revenge thing, that’s not on my mind,” Smith told reporters on Wednesday.

Ironically enough, the Jets haven’t enjoyed a winning season since Smith left. They’ve spent a ton of draft and trade capital on quarterbacks since, including drafting Zach Wilson and Sam Darnold with No. 3 overall picks, and traded for Aaron Rodgers last season. All to no avail.

Meanwhile Smith has revived his career in Seattle, leading the Seahawks to multiple contending seasons. Seattle currently sits atop the NFC West, and the Jets are 3-8. Smith has already captured revenge on a franchise that wronged him.

Seahawks Week 13 injury report: DK Metcalf did not practice

Seahawks Week 13 injury report: DK Metcalf did not practice

Seahawks place G Anthony Bradford on Injured Reserve

Seahawks place G Anthony Bradford on Injured Reserve

The Seattle Seahawks have made a litany of roster moves on Wednesday morning. The biggest of course concerning the health of starting right guard Anthony Bradford. During the 16-6 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12, Seattle’s already struggling offensive line took another hit health wise. Bradford exited the game early with an ankle injury. During the postgame press conference, head coach Mike Macdonald alluded to Bradford’s injury being serious enough to cost him some time.

Unfortunately, Macdonald’s words proved true. On Wednesday, the Seahawks placed Bradford on injured reserve. He will now miss the next four games at minimum. Bradford has struggled mightily this year, especially in the first half of the season. But he has been a starter. The presumed replacement is rookie Christian Haynes, who was arguably the top guard prospect in the 2024 NFL draft. However, Macdonald has alluded that fellow rookie Sataoa Laumea (a four-year starter at Utah) could be in the mix for the starting role.

Filling the open roster spot is linebacker Patrick O’Connell, who was signed from the practice squad. O’Connell has played in the last two games, as well as the Week 3 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Additional roster moves include top pass rusher Uchenna Nwosu and right tackle Stone Forsythe being designated to return from practice. Nwosu missed the first four games of the season with an MCL injury, and shortly left in his return to action in Week 5 to return to the injured reserve list with a thigh injury. Nwosu is not expected to be ready for Week 13 against the New York Jets.

Legendary QB Aaron Rodgers makes thoughts on future with Jets clear

Aaron Rodgers comments on his future with the Jets

Aaron Rodgers denied a recent report that he didn’t want to play for the New York Jets in 2025.

Rodgers is in the middle of a turbulent season with a 3-8 Jets team that isn’t any closer to breaking into the playoffs. They have dropped four of their last five games, including a 25-22 loss to the New England Patriots back in October.

Rodgers has 2,442 passing yards, 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions on the season. It hasn’t been the run anyone expected when he initially signed with the team, but according to Rodgers, he has given no indication he’s ready to see it end.

“As far as my future goes, I haven’t told anybody in my life that I wanna play in 2025 and not on the Jets,” said Rodgers on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday. “That’s 100 percent false. I actually said the opposite. I said that I’m going to wait and see what happens at the end of the season.”

Rodgers’ future with the Jets organization remains uncertain. Nevertheless, he seems to at least be open to returning to what could be a competitive AFC East division in 2025.
