The Seahawks have found their newest offensive coordinator.

The team hired former New Orleans Saints OC Klint Kubiak to the same position yesterday.

The 37-year-old is the son of former NFL quarterback and head coach Gary Kubiak.

He’s held OC roles twice before with the Vikings in 2021 and the Saints this past season.

Kubiak has also spent time with the Hawks division rival, coaching under Kyle Shanahan as the 49ers pass game coordinator in 2023.

He now replaces former University of Washington offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb as Seattle’s fourth OC since 2020.

The Eagles had a more definitive win in a 55-23 romping of the Commanders.

If Kansas City wins, they’ll have won three straight championships, which no team in the league has ever done before.

Super Bowl LIX takes place at the Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9.

The Seattle Storm were part of a blockbuster trade that shook the WNBA yesterday.

The Storm sent All-Star guard Jewell Loyd to the Las Vegas Aces, while the Aces sent UW-alum Kelsey Plum to the Los Angeles Sparks.

In exchange, Seattle received the No. 2 pick in the upcoming draft, the Aces’ 2026 first-round pick and forward Li Yueru.

The Storm also sent their No. 9 pick in the upcoming draft to the Sparks along with a 2026 second-round-pick.

Loyd – who led the league in scoring two seasons ago – still had one year left on her contract, but requested a trade after allegations of harassment of bullying against the Storm coaching staff.

An external investigation found no violations.
