Seahawks Face 10.5-Win Outlook After 14-3 Title Run as Key Losses Threaten Repeat

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 15

Seattle enters the new season with its projected win total cut to 10.5 after a 14-3 campaign and a 29-13 Super Bowl LX win over New England.
Kenneth Walker III's exit to Kansas City and offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's move to the Raiders are seen as the toughest losses, with several defensive departures also expected to weaken the roster.
Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba still anchor an offense that also features Cooper Kupp, while Zach Charbonnet is set to take over as the primary back after missing the playoffs.
The betting view is that Seattle can still reach the postseason but is unlikely to match last year's pace, especially with the Rams, 49ers and Cardinals all expected to improve.
