NFL 2025 Season Features Record-Worst Starts, Defensive Struggles, and Historic Late-Game Finishes

News summary

The Seattle Seahawks have started the 2025 NFL season strongly with a 3-1 record, driven by a top-five ranked defense and a stabilizing offense led by quarterback Sam Darnold and receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, both of whom have exceeded expectations. However, the Seahawks' running game remains inconsistent, ranking 28th in yards per carry, which could hinder the offense's overall potential if not improved. Across the league, early season data through four games reveals various team trends, such as the Arizona Cardinals bolstering their defense with new additions while struggling offensively, and the Atlanta Falcons improving their pass rush significantly. Notably, quarterback Lamar Jackson faces an alarming sack rate, and the Dallas Cowboys exhibit one of the league's worst pass defenses, reflecting a broader pattern of teams showing marked strengths and weaknesses early in the season. The NFL has also seen a high number of blocked kicks and a record-low turnover rate, contributing to an unusually high percentage of offensive touchdowns per drive, indicating a season with fewer mistakes and more scoring opportunities. These early trends and performances provide insights into potential playoff contenders and areas teams need to address as the season progresses.
