one quarter of the way through the regular season, the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-1) have to be considered one of the surprises in the NFL in 2025. Tied atop the AFC South with another of the league’s feel-good stories, the Indianapolis Colts, Liam Coen has the Jags beginning to believe in themselves as they prepare to line up against the Seattle Seahawks (3-2) Sunday afternoon.
The Seahawks are flying cross country for the early afternoon kickoff after losing at home to the Bucs last weekend, 38-35. Prior to last weekend, Seattle’s defense had only allowed even 20 points just one time. Baker Mayfield picked them apart with help from rookie wideout Emeka Egbuka. Sam Darnold passed for 341 yards and four touchdowns in the loss.
This past Monday, the Jaguars earned their biggest win of the season knocking off Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, 31-28. Trevor Lawrence led the Jags to victory throwing for 220 yards including one touchdown and rushing for two others including the game-winner with 23 seconds remaining.
Questions to ponder as you review the underlying numbers in this game:
1) Does Trevor Lawrence continue to show growth under the tutelage of Liam Coen even when facing a top defense like Seattle?
2) Does the Seahawks’ defense rebound this week?
3) Can Sam Darnold keep from turning the ball over against a team that has thrived on causing turnovers?
Lets take a deeper dive into this week’s game between the Seahawks and the Jaguars.

Drew Dinsick (@whale_capper): Seattle Seahawks ML+104
Sam Darnold has the fewest turnover worthy plays so far this season which will be key in preventing the Jags from creating the game changing turnovers that have fueled their defensive success. Seattles defense on the other hand can completely shutdown the rushing attack and force Trevor Lawrence into his second or third reads which he has struggled with to this point in 2025.
