Unbelievable! Seahawks all-time great Steve Largent just gave a massive vote of confidence to the quarterback leading Seattle’s incredible 2025-2026 season. Is this the ultimate sign that a Super Bowl run is coming?
The Seattle Seahawks are the hottest team in the NFL right now, finishing the regular season with an outstanding 14-3 record, winning the NFC West, and securing the No. 1 seed in the NFC. That means a first-round bye in the Wild Card round and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
In the middle of all the hype, one of the most respected voices in franchise history has spoken out – and his words are turning heads.
Steve Largent, Hall of Fame wide receiver and eternal Seahawks legend, recently shared a surprising and heartfelt endorsement of the current quarterback’s performance. He highlighted the incredible turnaround and expressed strong belief in the player’s ability to take the team deep into the postseason.
In a recent interview, Largent said:
“He’s worked so hard and overcome so much doubt from the past. After watching the game against the 49ers in Week 18 – where he led those perfect game-winning drives to clinch the No. 1 seed – I have even more faith in him. This is a quarterback who can take the Seahawks to the Super Bowl!”
Largent drew parallels to his own career, stressing how the right coaching and supporting cast have unlocked elite-level play: a 28-6 record over the last two seasons, a passer rating over 100, and clutch performances in huge games against the Rams and 49ers.
This glowing praise from a franchise icon has Seahawks fans buzzing with excitement. Could this be the spark that propels Seattle all the way to the Vince Lombardi Trophy?
The quarterback Steve Largent is putting his full trust in is Sam Darnold.
In one of the most shocking and dominant playoff performances in recent NFL history, the Seattle Seahawks absolutely demolished the San Francisco 49ers with a stunning 41-6 victory in the Divisional Round on January 17, 2026. The game was over almost before it began, and two Seahawks players delivered performances so explosive, so otherworldly, that the entire league is now buzzing with suspicion.
The NFL has officially demanded that both players undergo immediate and comprehensive doping tests to rule out any possibility of performance-enhancing substances. Why? Because what they did on that field looked almost superhuman.
Let’s rewind to the opening kickoff at Lumen Field. Just 13 seconds into the game, the Seahawks were already up 7-0. One player fielded the kick and exploded through the entire 49ers coverage unit for a 95-yard kickoff return touchdown — a new Seahawks playoff record and one of the fastest scores in postseason history. The stadium erupted. Fans lost their minds. And the 49ers? They looked shell-shocked from the very first play.
But that was only the appetizer.
The Seahawks’ running game then turned into an absolute nightmare for San Francisco’s vaunted defense. One running back carried the ball 19 times for 116 rushing yards — averaging a ridiculous 6.1 yards per carry — and scored three rushing touchdowns. Yes, three. A hat-trick of rushing touchdowns in the playoffs — something no Seahawks player had done since the legendary Shaun Alexander back in 2003. He made defenders miss, powered through arm tackles, and consistently turned short gains into big plays. It was the kind of performance that makes you question reality.
Together, these two players were directly responsible for 21 of the Seahawks’ first points in the first half alone. They set the tone, broke the 49ers’ spirit, and turned what was supposed to be a competitive playoff matchup into a complete blowout. By the time the fourth quarter rolled around, Seattle was already cruising toward the NFC Championship Game with a commanding lead.
Social media exploded. Analysts were speechless. Former players and coaches took to the airwaves to express their disbelief. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” one Hall of Famer tweeted. “These guys are playing at a different level.”
And now, the NFL has stepped in.
League officials have quietly but firmly ordered urgent doping tests for the two stars who turned the game into a one-sided demolition. The decision comes amid growing whispers across the league and on fan forums: “How is this even possible?” “Those numbers don’t make sense.” “Something has to be going on.”
While no official allegations have been made and both players are presumed innocent until proven otherwise, the sheer dominance of their performances has left the football world demanding answers.
And the two players who set the entire NFL on fire?
Kenneth Walker III and Rashid Shaheed — the explosive running back and the lightning-fast return man/wide receiver who combined to make the 49ers look helpless and sent Seahawks fans into a state of pure euphoria.
Whether the tests come back clean or not, one thing is certain: this performance will be talked about for years to come.
