Summary

The Seattle Seahawks secured a 23-20 victory over the New England Patriots, pushing them to the top of the NFC West. This week, we get into the key moments that defined the game, breaking down Geno Smith's exceptional day and the defensive plays that turned the tide in the Seahawks' favor. Geno put on a show, completing 33 of 44 passes for 327 yards and a touchdown, and receivers DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba also had strong performances and DK's 56-yard touchdown standing out as one of the game's biggest highlights.

Ryan Grubb's scheme opened up opportunities for JSN throughout the game, which helped offset a lack of a dominant running game. We discuss whether or not this was a one-time thing, or if we're starting to trend toward a full-on passing offense when Ken Walker isn't in the backfield. Defensively, the Seahawks racked up 21 total pressures and three sacks. Boye Mafe, Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy were disrupting the Patriots' offense, while Julian Love's key block of a field goal attempt and his work in run support helped the Seahawks stay in the game. Special teams also came up big, with Jason Myers knocking through three crucial field goals and Dee Williams delivering a strong punt return.

The Miami Dolphins are up next. Can Skylar Thompson take over for Tua and be the backup quarterback that ends up delivering the type of performance that Seahawks fans dread? It's going to be another big test for the Seahawks to stop De'Von Achane who could be catching a lot of short passes out of the backfield.

In the second half of the show, we celebrate the Seahawks atop the division with the 49ers falling to the Minnesota Vikings and the Rams falling to the cellar in the NFC West. We shout out some of the flockers we ran into during our trip to Boston, and get a shoutout from a gathering in Sweden. We fight narratives in the football world and in space in the Do Better segment. A TikTok star, YouTube and the NFL all share the stage in this week's Better at Life.

0:00.0	This is the Sea Hawkers podcast.
0:08.7	Episode 442.
0:11.0	I'm Brandon Schultz of the military Seahawkers, and I am joined by my good buddy in Montana
0:16.5	Seahawker.
0:17.3	Adam Emmertz.
0:18.6	Yeah, man.
0:19.4	It's a great day to be at 12.
0:37.8	2 and O. Atop of the NFC West and sole possession of first. Nice win against the Patriots. I'm not going to call it ugly. I'm going to call it nice because wins are always nice. I don't care what they look like. And an interesting game to talk about, especially since we got to be there in person.
0:43.2	And now we both got to go back and rewatch at least some of it and maybe kind of confirm or, you know, debunk maybe some of the things that we thought we were seeing, you know, from a
0:48.2	distance.
0:48.9	Not that our seats were a long ways away, just kind of, you know, in the corner.
0:52.5	So a different angle makes it a little tougher.
0:54.9	But overall, man, like, it's exciting. It's just to come away with that, with the victory,
1:01.0	and to kind of hear some of the commentary after two. One thing I will give it to the Patriots in the
1:06.5	stadium is that they pretty much had the all 22 view up on the screen the entire time during the game.
1:14.6	So if you had those lower seats like we did in the corner, you could look up and especially when it was past midfield, it made it difficult to see what was going on.
1:25.9	Then you could look and you could see a lot of the All-22,
1:28.4	and that kind of helped a little bit. It did. And it was tough to not, I was trying to make
1:34.2	myself not watch it, right? Because I'm there to watch it live. So I was trying not to watch that.
1:39.0	But one thing that was undeniable while watching the game, whether it was a TV copy or live
1:43.7	and in person,
1:45.1	Gino Smith played a top level professional quarterback game.
