Seahawks Seek Redemption Against Jaguars After Bucs Defeat

As of October 12th, 2025, the Seattle Seahawks are preparing to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in a highly anticipated matchup. The Seahawks, led by quarterback Sam Darnold, have been playing at a high level this season, with Darnold's efficient and decisive play earning praise from the team's managing editor, Kole Musgrove.

However, the Seahawks' recent loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has left them seeking redemption. Musgrove highlighted the team's defensive line as a particular strength, noting that it has been "outright suffocating" for most of the season, helping to transform the defense. But the secondary has struggled with the absence of key players like Devon Witherspoon and Julian Love, allowing Baker Mayfield to carve them up in the previous game.

Despite these challenges, the Seahawks have found a new offensive weapon in rookie wide receiver Tory Horton, who is already making a name for himself. With the attention likely to be on Jaguars' stars Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, Horton may have opportunities to shine. Additionally, second-year tight end AJ Barner has emerged as a red zone threat for Darnold.

As the Seahawks head into this crucial matchup, they will be looking to capitalize on their road success and the Jaguars' potential letdown after their impressive victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Musgrove predicts a narrow 28-27 win for the Seahawks, as they seek to bounce back and solidify their position in the NFC.
