What the Seahawks have demonstrated through their first eight games is that they are a whole lot more than a sneaky playoff team with a first-round-upset ceiling. @Matt_Calkins' column:

The Seahawks' Sunday night win over the Commanders may have been the greatest example yet of their depth all the way to the practice squad. Here are @bcondotta's postgame grades for each position group.

Sam Darnold tossed four first-half touchdowns and the Seahawks cruised past the Commanders on Sunday night. Here are three instant impressions from @ByTimBooth.

Sam Darnold was nearly perfect passing as the Seahawks posted one of their most impressive wins in franchise history, overwhelming the Commanders 38-14. Game story from @bcondotta:

There may be few excuses for scoring just seven points against Oregon State, but the reality is the Cougars have been hit with devastating injuries up front.

The Reign needed a road win vs. Orlando or a slew of favorable results elsewhere during the NWSL’s “Decision Day” to host a playoff match. They got neither in a 1-1 tie. From @JaydaEvans:

Cooper Kupp is INACTIVE as the Seahawks return from their bye to face the Commanders on "Sunday Night Football." More from @bcondotta:

Minnesota United is the only visiting MLS team to win at Lumen Field this season, and they have an opportunity for a sweep that includes knocking out the Sounders. Via @JaydaEvans

It was a rough Saturday for the future Pac-12 — for a conference that doesn't exist but nonetheless hopes to sneak into a playoff that is quite real.

There are four unbeaten teams in major college football as the first CFP rankings are coming out this week, and Deion Sanders' Buffs are blown out again.

The Kraken pushed their point streak to four games, but dropped a second straight contest in overtime, this one to the New York Rangers on Saturday night at Climate Pledge Arena. From @KateShefte: https://t.co/rHfmtpjoru

Will Smith homered in the 11th inning after Miguel Rojas connected for a tying drive in the ninth, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in Game 7 to become the first team in a quarter century to win consecutive World Series titles. https://t.co/aQzBctKszp

The Kraken debuted their brand-new third jerseys Saturday night against the Rangers, but it never got dark enough in Climate Pledge Arena for the glow-in-the-dark stitching to come to life. From @KateShefte: https://t.co/gmVkMmo8YB

In a low-scoring affair between the lone remaining Pac-12 schools, Washington State's offense never got on track in a listless 10-7 loss on Saturday in Corvallis. https://t.co/ox8u2PoZMW
