The Seahawks are concluding their regular season this weekend with a divisional showdown against the Los Angeles Rams.

The 9-7 Hawks currently sit a game behind the 10-6 Rams, but LA owns the tiebreaker and has already clinched the NFC West.

It will be a game with only pride on the line for first-year head coach Mike Macdonald, who will look to help Seattle improve on last season’s 9-8 record.

However, a pair of Seahawks will have plenty of motivation to show out.

Second-year receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is just five catches away from breaking Tyler Lockett’s franchise record for receptions in a single season.

Meanwhile, Geno Smith could earn up to $6 million in incentives if he gets the team to 10 wins, reaches 186 passing yards to set a new career high, and keeps his current 70.2% completion rate above 69.8%.

No matter the outcome, this Sunday marks the last time the Seahawks will take the field until the 2025 season.

Coverage begins at 11 am and kickoff is at 1:25 on KPUG.

 

The team from up north came out on top in a regional NHL battle yesterday. 

J.T. Miller scored in the shootout and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Seattle Kraken 4-3. 

Vince Dunn and Matty Beniers each had a goal and an assist, Chandler Stephenson also scored and Andre Burakovsky had two assists for Seattle. 

Philipp Grubauer finished with 19 saves.

The Kraken came into the match looking to win their third straight, but have now lost six of their last eight.

They’ll look to bounce back tomorrow against Edmonton in the third of their four-game homestand.

Coverage begins at 6:30 and puck drops at 7 on KGMI.

 

The Huskies have found their new defensive coordinator.

Jedd Fisch announced today that former Purdue head coach Ryan Walters has signed a two-year deal to become UW’s newest DC.

The move comes just over a month after Purdue fired Walters after two years with the school.

Walters will get a chance at revenge against his former school when the Huskies host the Boilermakers on Nov. 15 next season.

Washington’s former defensive coordinator, Steve Belichick, is reportedly joining his father and legendary NFL coach Bill at North Carolina.

 

Meanwhile, the Huskies’ men’s basketball team picked up their first-ever win in Big Ten conference play last night.

Great Osobor scored 20 points and grabbed 14 rebounds to help lead UW over Maryland 75-69.

It was first-year Huskies coach Danny Sprinkle’s first signature win with the program, knocking off a Terrapins team that finished just several votes outside the latest AP Top 25 poll.

Washington has won four of their last five heading into a Sunday matchup at home against #22 Illinois.

The Huskies women also beat Illinois 84-75 last night to pick up their fourth straight win.
