The Seattle Seahawks are projected to secure second place in the NFC West with an 11-6 record in 2026, according to Bleacher Report. After winning the division last season, Seattle will face a challenging schedule, playing both the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers a total of four times. Despite key injuries in the backfield, including to lead running back Kenneth Walker and potentially Zach Charbonnet, the Seahawks are expected to rely heavily on their defense. The team is looking to build on its Super Bowl success under starter Sam Darnold, who will need to adapt following the departure of offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
