Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seahawks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
It’s time for the final Seahawks Reacts survey for the 2025 NFL season! The Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl champions once again, having previously lifted the Lombardi Trophy in 2013. Both teams had elite defenses and special teams, along with offenses that could score at a high clip but had occasional issues with consistency. The big thing was that neither Russell Wilson nor Sam Darnold had to engage in weekly hero ball for the team to succeed.
Our first question is whether or not this year was officially the greatest season in Seahawks history. I did not say that the 2025 team was better than the 2013 one; this is all about the context of the season and how they won it all. The 2013 team will forever be special because it was the first Super Bowl winner in franchise history, plus we saw the Legion of Boom go through some heartbreak the year before in order to finish the job the following season. Only a select few analysts and fans could’ve possibly believed in this year’s Seahawks to be not just a playoff contender, but a Super Bowl champion. This year was also Seattle’s 50th season in existence, adding to the special flavor to this run. There’s certainly no denying that the 2013 Seahawks had a league-wide impact on recognizing Seattle as a force to be reckoned with, and tearing apart the legendary Peyton Manning and the record-setting Denver Broncos offense will live on forever.
The second question is about defensive MVP. Kenneth Walker III won Super Bowl MVP after posting 161 yards from scrimmage, and if not for a marginal Jalen Sundell holding penalty he would’ve cleared 200 yards with an exclamation point of a touchdown. Seattle’s defense was so dominant that it felt like you could’ve awarded a defensive player MVP like we saw in Super Bowl 48.
Our options listed here are Devon Witherspoon, who had four tackles, three QB hits, a sack, and basically the game-sealing hit that led to Uchenna Nwosu’s pick-six. If it was called a strip-sack fumble I bet that would’ve encouraged some more Witherspoon votes, because it’s not normal for corners to have those type of stat lines. Byron Murphy II was another great shout with his two sacks, excellent run defense, and a fumble recovery off of the Derick Hall strip-sack. Hall also had two sacks, doubling his regular season total, and that forced fumble was the catalyst for the blowout. The last name I have here is actually not Ernest Jones IV, who led the team in tackles, but Josh Jobe. Here’s why:
There is the “Other” option, too. I’m sure I’ve omitted a name or two after a virtuoso showing.
