Survey: What’s the toughest game to start the Seahawks’ season?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seahawks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
As you already know, the Seahawks begin the 2026 season by raising the Super Bowl banner and then facing the New England Patriots in an immediate rematch of February’s beatdown. After that, they head on the road for games at the Arizona Cardinals and Washington Commanders, a pair of non-playoff teams from 2025. They return to Lumen Field for a California back-to-back against the Los Angeles Chargers and San Francisco 49ers.
Two division games, two AFC opponents, and one cross-country 10 am PT trip to start the year for the reigning champions. Our lone question to you this week is simple: Which of the first five games of Seattle’s season figures to be the most difficult? This doesn’t mean you think the Seahawks will lose that matchup, but it could nevertheless be a tough one to come away with a victory.
Answer in the survey below!
Check back later in the week for the full results!

Baltimore Orioles fall to Seattle Mariners 6-5 for their fourth loss in a row
Randy Arozarena hit a two-run homer to lead off the 10th inning, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 on Tuesday night.
Mitch Garver also homered for the AL West-leading Mariners, who have won 11 of their last 14 games and, at 36-32, are tied for a season-high four games over .500.
Coby Mayo homered during a two-run ninth inning as Baltimore rallied to tie the game at 4-4. The Orioles have lost four in a row for the first time since a five-game skid from April 30 to May 4.
Arozarena hit Rico Garcia’s 0-1 slider over the wall in right for his seventh home run of the season to bring around automatic runner Julio Rodríguez. Garcia (3-1) had allowed only three runs in 27 innings this season.
Seattle’s Nick Davila, called up from Triple-A Tacoma, hit Blaze Alexander and yielded Leody Taveras’ RBI single to open the 10th. Mayo popped out, and third baseman Patrick Wisdom threw out Alexander at home. Davila then struck out O’Neill for his first career save.
The Orioles scored two in the ninth against José A. Ferrer (1-1). After Mayo’s one-out shot made it 4-3, Jeremiah Jackson singled, moved to third on Tyler O’Neill’s ground-rule double and scored when he beat Ferrer’s off-balance throw off Samuel Basallo’s dribbler down the first-base line.
Seattle starter Logan Gilbert allowed Taveras’ bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the first and needed 58 pitches to get through two innings. But the right-hander retired the last 14 batters he faced and struck out five over six innings.
Garver ripped Trevor Rogers’ fastball to deep left for his third home run in the fourth inning to make it 3-1.
Rogers allowed three runs and struck out three in 5 2/3 innings.

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson mayor ripped after unveiling fleet of tiny homes likened to porta-potty drug dens
Progressive Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is being ripped for unveiling a village of tiny homes being likened to porta-potties — with no rules stopping the homeless people who move in from doing drugs.
Wilson, 43, previewed 50 of the 70-square-foot units on Sunday — while readily conceding that she failed on her promise of having half of the 1,000 planned units ready in time for the World Cup, which starts Thursday.
The tiny units — barely bigger than a portable toilet, about the size of a jail cell and equipped with just a single bed and desk — cost $16,000 each to build, with those moving in sharing toilets and other facilities staffed 24/7.
The woke mayor said the units are for homeless people suffering “complex problems related to substance abuse” or mental disorders — but without forcing them to seek help or even stay off the drugs that got them there.
“The process of recovery is really complicated and difficult, and so, we’re not demanding that people be abstinent when they enter this village,” the Democratic socialist mayor said, according to KOMO.
“The goal is to help people successfully move from homelessness toward stability and housing; that’s exactly what this site is designed to do,” she vowed, without citing evidence.
Local advocates quickly ripped the plan, with many saying it will only make drug use more widespread there, raising the risks for anyone living nearby.
Andrea Suarez, founder of the homeless outreach organization We Heart Seattle, ridiculed the mayor’s program, saying that the drug use will add to widespread crime as “the bodies are piling up.”
“Drugs aren’t free,” she told Fox News of the “deadly” drugs like “super meth and fentanyl” that “will be allowed on this property.”
“So what do people have to do to fuel their addiction? They have to porch-prowl, smash and grab, retail theft, syphon gas … prostitution,” she predicted, saying locals will have to “be on lockdown.”
“It’s very hard to get better and seek treatment when the fox is guarding the henhouse,” she said, saying that the addicts will be surrounded by dealers and fellow users. “It’s very hard to get sober when everything makes you actually more comfortable being a drug addict.”
Other critics were wary of the state the homes could fall into without rules stopping them from becoming “overdose incubators.”
“Each one of these tiny houses will turn into a tiny outhouse. Good luck cleaning that human sewer up,” one naysayer fumed on X.
Another raged: “How much you willing to bet that within a year, all those tiny homes will be torn down crack houses smelling like heroin laced urine.”
Another blasted: “Glad Katie could give drug dealers and criminals a home base for their crimes against the people of Seattle.”
“Dumb,” one critic slammed. “Now they just get to use drugs in those tiny homes. How about we get them off the drugs!!”
Wilson said an additional 25 sleeper units will be installed at the Bayside Enhanced Shelter by the end of June, with as many as 300 new pods expected citywide by summer’s end.
That still falls way short of her promise of 500 units in time for Seattle’s World Cup matches.
“Is it a failure not to have created 500 units by now? As long as there are thousands of people sleeping unsheltered on our streets, yes, we are failing,” the lefty mayor said defensively.
