Tom Brady changes his stance regarding the Seahawks as Seattle’s consistent rise becomes a game-changer

For much of the 2025 NFL season, the Seattle Seahawks have lived outside the national spotlight. While fans and analysts spent weeks arguing over the Super Bowl credentials of the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos, Seattle kept stacking important wins. They have now earned the respect of none other than Tom Brady.Brady expressed his surprise at the team’s rise and performance, admitting that he is now a big fan. With an 18-16 win over the Colts and an incredible triumph of 38-37 against the Rams, the Seahawks are becoming the team that everyone is turning to as they continue to deliver consistent performances. The Seahawks’ early success was often brushed aside as predictable by critics and detractors, who insisted that the real test would come when faced with the elite teams. That moment arrived with the big wins against the Colts and the Rams. Head coach Mike Macdonald has emphasized trust and teamwork for the season as he addressed the media recently.He said, “It's who we are. It's what we do. You believe in who you are, and then you keep doing it and keep proving it, really to yourself and to our guys.” After the Rams win, Macdonald reinforced that mindset, stating, “They understand who they are, and when it's time to put it on the line, they're ready to go.”The rise of the Seahawks surprised many, even veteran Tom Brady, who was initially skeptical. As a FOX Sports analyst, Tom Brady had previously kept Seattle just outside the top spot in his power rankings. They sat at No. 4 in week 14. This week, he has placed the team at No. 1, as stated, “I can admit I was a little slow to come around on this team.” He further added, “But they've proven their worth. The only question surrounding this team might be those uniforms. Are you feeling the Oregon vibes?” With two games left against the Panthers and 49ers, the Seahawks now shift from proving their worth to maintaining their consistency.
