FIRST AND GOAL - D.BEAVER - SPORTS / THE FACTS NEWSPAPER

The Seahawks didn’t just win. They shut the door Sunday with a 26 to 0 blowout at Lumen Field. The defense came out barking heavy from the first snap. DeMarcus Lawrence was in full bully mode up front, blowing up plays and keeping Minnesota scared to even breathe in the pocket. Boye Mafe and Uchenna Nwosu kept the pressure cooking all game, turning the line into a straight brick wall. In the secondary, Josh Jobe and Nehemiah Pritchett held it down, clamping receivers and making sure the Vikings never got close to the end zone. A shutout in the NFL is pride, discipline, and pure hunger.

On offense, Sam Darnold controlled the game with poise, spreading the ball around and keeping the chains moving. The run game was balanced and physical, wearing Minnesota down drive after drive. No mistakes, no slip-ups, just clean execution and grown man football.

Now all eyes are on this coming Sunday. Seattle is sitting strong in the NFC at 8 and 3, and the standings are tight. Another win this week pushes even more pressure on the conference and keeps the Hawks climbing at the perfect time.

Bottom line. This team has new energy and real fight. Seattle is back on its grind, and the league is starting to feel it.
