Note: It is verified that these predictions were indeed made before the Seahawks Super Bowl. -Shuwen Y., Editor-in-Chief
Today is Monday.
To be exact, February 8th, 2026.
Yesterday, we witnessed something we never thought would happen in our lifetimes: The Seattle Seahawks have just lifted the Lombardi Trophy for the first time in 11 years, handily beating the Denver Broncos in a game that seems too similar to Super XLVIII, only eleven years ago.
Ok fine.
The date is actually December 8, 2025, and our beloved football team has just handily beaten the Falcons yesterday. However, for the rest of the article, I will be reporting news that might occur in the future.
After beating the Los Angeles Rams in a nail-biting contest in the regular season, the Seattle Seahawks secured their number one position in the NFC, but these gains were not without setbacks. Seahawks star wide receiver Cooper Kupp suffered a devastating hamstring injury in the fourth quarter against the Carolina Panthers. Additionally, Sam Darnold had doubts looking into him as he threw a whopping average of two interceptions per game! Finally, the Hawks new “rivalries” jerseys faced immense setbacks, with interviewed students calling them “disgusting”, “radioactive”, and “has a similar color profile to puke”. Nonetheless, the PNW made it into the playoffs, with a prime position to take the title.
In the divisional playoffs, the Seahawks met a familiar foe, the San Francisco 49ers. The battle was tough and filled with suspense, but in the end, the 12s (Seattle fans) carried the Seahawks to victory and the championship round against another divisional rival. The Los Angeles Rams would be flying up to Seattle to battle for the NFC (National Football Conference) title.
With Lumen Field filled to a record-breaking capacity, the game started out rough for the home side, but the Hawks mustered a victorious march down the field to score their first touchdown of the game, making the score 7-17. Things only went better for the Seahawks as their defense scored a touchdown from an interception and forced a fumble in the third quarter. Down by 10, Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold passed a perfect toss not to superstar Jaxon Smith Njigba, but to breakout rookie Elijah Arroyo! Down by six points with two minutes to go, Sam Darnold scrambled up the field for a thirty yard gain, calling their last timeout on the twenty yard line. On the next play, with thirty seconds left, the Seahawks ran a simple crossing play, when Sam Darnold bulleted a perfect dime right to the chest of Elijah Arroyo. To everybody’s dismay though, the slick ball slipped right through his hands and bounced out with exactly thirteen seconds left in the ballgame. Darnold dropped back and studied his wide receiver options. As the former Seahawks Veteran Poona Ford was bearing down on him, he saw Jaxon Smith Njigba covered by two men, but decided to pass the ball to him anyway. His gamble paid off. Smith Njigba hurdled over both defenders and caught the ball one-handed. The Seahawks had done it; they were going to the Super Bowl!
Finally, the most important Sunday of these two teams’ lives had arrived. For two hours, in the quiet suburbs of Santa Clara, California, these two teams would be under the watchful eyes of every living soul in the nation. To some, this game was the pinnacle of their 2025 year, the moment they had been dreaming of. To others, it was an opportunity to maximize their profits from the millions of viewers, and to man,y it was the only time in 2026 (aside from Thanksgiving) they were ever going to watch a game of football.
After Charlie Puth’s national anthem, the Hawks opened play with a steady seventy-yard drive to start with a solid touchdown. Things only looked up from there, as their top-caliber defense ripped apart the Broncos. By halftime, the score was fourteen to three, with the Seahawks leading. After Bad Bunny’s epic halftime show performance, the two teams lined up to cap off what was already an epic match. Fortunately, the Seahawks controlled the rest of the game and won handily, with a final score of 34-3. It was like déjà vu for all who remembered the Hawk's first Super Bowl trophy. They had done it, that one mediocre team, unable to claw out of the stuffed middle area: too good for draft picks but too inconsistent for playoffs. Sam Darnold, thrown away to lesser teams, had shown the critics his true potential, redeeming the sacrifice and risk his managers put into him. This group was special, unlike any other that had come before. It marked the promising start of Seattle’s resurgence from a forgotten congregation to a truly formidable dynasty.
