NFL pundit declares Seattle Seahawks are ‘legitimate’ Super Bowl threat
With one game to go in Week 14, Bleacher Report’s NFL analysts of Brent Sobleski, Gary Davenport, Kris Knox and Moe Moton did their usual due diligence when it came to winners, losers, and takeaways from the league’s most recent action.
On Sunday afternoon, the Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons were tied at 6-6 at intermission. Mike Macdonald’s team outscored their hosts, 31-3, in the second half on the way to a resounding 37-9 win. It was a third straight win for the ‘Hawks since that 21-19 loss to the Rams in Week 11 at SoFi Stadium.
The B/R team’s takeaway from the 28-point win is that it’s time to talk about Macdonald’s club as a “legitimate Super Bowl threat.”
“Despite having an excellent season, the Seattle Seahawks haven’t had a ton of run as a top contender to represent the NFC in Super Bowl LX. After dismantling the Falcons in Atlanta, Seattle should. There wasn’t anything the Seahawks didn’t do well Sunday against the Falcons. Sam Darnold was again effective and efficient throwing the ball. The team didn’t post gaudy numbers running the ball, but it was solid on a per-carry basis. The defense forced multiple second-half turnovers and held Falcons running back Bijan Robinson in check.”
Seattle limited Robinson, who lost a fumble, to 94 total yards from scrimmage. They did not give up a touchdown and allowed only 274 total yards. The Falcons were 1-of-13 on third-down conversions. They seem to be playing their best football of the season and have an opportunity to win their first division title since 2020.
“With a home date with the Los Angeles Rams and a trip to San Francisco still on the schedule, the Seahawks have a real chance to claim first place in the NFC West—and the No. 1 seed in the NFC is still very much in play.”

Delta flight from Seoul to Atlanta diverted to Seattle after report of suspicious package
SEATTLE — Delta Air Lines Flight 188, traveling from Incheon International Airport in South Korea to Atlanta, was diverted to Seattle on Monday morning after a suspicious package was reported on board.
The flight, a regularly scheduled service between Seoul-Incheon and Atlanta, diverted to Seattle around 10: 30 a.m. It was originally supposed to land in Atlanta at 5 p.m.
Delta released a statement that the diversion was initiated after reports of a “suspicious package” onboard, with the flight crew making the decision out of an abundance of caution.
After landing at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the plane was staged at Taxiway Tango on the airfield. Passengers were deplaned to buses while investigators assessed and swept the aircraft, and officials met the plane to conduct additional security screening.
Delta stated that no credible threat was discovered and no arrests were made. After the plane was cleared, passengers were reboarded and cleared to head to the gate and go through Customs.
Delta said it is supporting an investigation involving law enforcement, aviation regulators, and others.
