“He’s turned the corner,” a high-ranking official that played against the Seahawks earlier in the season said via Washington Post reporter Jason La Canfora. “This is who he is now. It’s not a function of a system or anything like that. He’s a top-10 quarterback.”

Smith-Njigba was also fined for unsportsmanlike conduct after dunking the ball in a touchdown celebration earlier in the game.

The NFL trade deadline arrives Nov. 4 at 1 p.m. Seattle time. Do the Seahawks have the financial flexibility to make a trade? Would they want to add or subtract? Is there anyone available who would make sense?

If Seattle is going to make a move before the deadline, landing an upgrade at right guard should be the top priority.

The Seattle Seahawks have beaten the Houston Texans 27-19 to cap tonight’s “Monday Night Football” doubleheader. The Seahawks led wire-to-wire despite losing the turnover battle 4-1. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had the standout performance with eight catches for 123 yards and one touchdown.

Darnold and the offense actually got off to a hot start with two quick touchdowns in the first quarter that helped Seattle jump out to a 14-0 lead. From there, the Seahawks just held on for dear life. This game probably would have turned into a blowout win for the Seahawks if not for their four turnovers, which kept Houston in it.

The Seattle Seahawks have one of the most aggressive defensive lines in the league, led by a young and disruptive Byron Murphy II.
