Texans Are A Big Test For Kubiak & Darnold

Tale of the Tape: Confident Jags Host Staggered Seahawks

The Jacksonville Jaguars are 4-1 for the first time since 2007. It is only the fifth time in their history that they have won four of their first give games. The wins haven’t all been cheap, either. They went on the road to beat the 49ers in a game...

The Morning After: Seahawks Escape Arizona With 3rd Straight Win

Seattle opened this season with a crushing loss to the rival 49ers at home. They not only lost, but they did so impersonating another team on offense. There was one play action pass attempt. They operated mostly out of shotgun. Sam Darnold was given an ultra-conservative game plan that...

Seahawks Defense Bails Out Coaches, Darnold in 27-19 Win Over Texans

On a night when a historic managerial mistake led directly to the most painful loss in Mariners history, Mike Macdonald and Klint Kubiak said, “hold my beer.” The Seahawks built 14-0 and 27-12 leads that should have been much larger, and still tried every possible way to give the...

The Morning After: Seahawks Polish Resume, Down Jaguars 20-12

The morning started with Justin Fields authoring one of the worst quarterback performances you will ever see. The former 11th overall completed just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. He was also sacked 9 times for -55 yards, meaning his team finished the game with -10 yards passing....

Tale of the Tape: Bucs Bring Measuring Stick To Seattle
