These two Seahawks also earned incentive money in Week 18. In addition to Geno Smith hitting $6M worth of contact escalators on Sunday, LG Laken Tomlinson secured a $2.04M incentive and K Jason Myers hit a $375K base salary escalator.

Garoppolo and Rams play-calling head coach Sean McVay targeted Pritchett to swipe three points at the end of the first half. In the final seconds of the second quarter Garoppolo completed a 31-yard pass to Demarcus Robinson past and over Pritchett. That is why Joshua Karty was able to kick a 58-yard field goal on the final play of the half.

The Seahawks have enjoyed a long run of high-level play at punter and kicker, drafting Michael Dickson in 2018 and signing Jason Myers in 2019, and both of those players were at the top of their game in 2024.

Seattle Sports reporters Zac Hereth and Cameron Van Til give their final grades for the 2024 Seattle Seahawks on offense, defense and more.

Other than Williams, Julian Love was the Seahawks’ steadiest defensive player from start to finish while emerging as a strong locker-room leader. Coby Bryant was a revelation when thrust into the starting lineup at midseason, relegating veteran Rayshawn Jenkins to a rotational role. Love finished sixth among all safeties via PFF and Bryant 22nd.

Noah Fant’s final numbers (48-500, 10.4) were in line with his career averages despite missing three games. AJ Barner came on late to finish with 30-245 and four TDs. Pharaoh Brown battled a foot injury in camp and the first month of the season and had just eight catches. The blocking on the edges wasn’t as consistent as it needed to be.

It was a 10-win season, and it was a season that fell short of the playoffs. Those successes and failures show up in the season-ending grades for the Seahawks.

The Seahawks believed Ryan Grubb would be the perfect fit to guide their offense under Mike Macdonald. But once the games started, stubbornness cost him his job

Even with backups in the lineup, the Rams played the Seahawks tough down to the wire, but Geno Smith's career day proved to be the difference in Week 18.

When it did, coach Mike Macdonald high-fived some assistants, finally secure in the knowledge that the Seahawks could claim to be NFC West co-champs at least in name, tying the Rams at 10-7, and finishing with a double-digit win season for the first time since 2020.

Geno Smith threw four touchdown passes, including a 16-yarder to Noah Fant with 3:19 remaining, as the Seattle Seahawks completed their season with a 30-25 victory against the NFC West
