The Seattle Seahawks made a resounding statement to open their 2025 season with a dominant 46-12 victory over last year’s NFC champions, the New Orleans Saints. With new quarterback Jordan Love at the helm, the Seahawks delivered an offensive masterclass that left the Saints stunned in every phase of the game. Jordan Love Shines Bright in Debut Jordan Love, making his first regular-season start for Seattle, was nothing short of spectacular. The young quarterback threw for an impressive 350 yards, connecting on five touchdown passes, and added another score with his legs, showcasing his dual-threat capability. Love’s poise and accuracy throughout the game set the tone for a high-powered Seattle offense. DK Metcalf and Noah Fant Steal the Spotlight Wide receiver DK Metcalf emerged as an unstoppable force, torching the Saints’ secondary with 163 yards and four touchdowns. Whether it was a deep bomb or a red zone strike, Metcalf was unguardable all game. Tight end Noah Fant also proved pivotal in the passing attack, contributing 103 yards and a touchdown, giving Love yet another reliable target. Kenneth Walker: A Ground Game Catalyst Running back Kenneth Walker III added balance to Seattle’s explosive offense with a strong performance on the ground. Walker rushed for 100 yards on just 13 carries, averaging an impressive 7.7 yards per attempt, keeping the Saints’ defense off balance and opening up the play-action game. Seahawks’ Defense Stands Tall While the offense delivered fireworks, Seattle’s defense ensured that New Orleans never found their rhythm. The Seahawks forced six interceptions, capitalizing on every mistake by Saints quarterback. The defensive unit’s relentless pressure and airtight coverage allowed Seattle to dictate the game from start to finish.
