The Saints and Seahawks both have new starting quarterbacks this season. New Orleans drafted Spencer Rattler in 2024 and while he saw playing time last year after Derek Carr went down with an injury, this is the fifth-round pick's first full season as a starter.

The New Orleans Saints (0-2) visit the Seattle Seahawks (1-1) at Lumen Field on Sunday, September 21, 2025. Date: Sept. 21 Time: 4:05 p.m. ET

Seattle didn’t punt until the fourth quarter. Seahawks receiver Tory Horton was a big part of the early scoring boom. He returned a punt 95 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter and scored again in the second on the end of a 14-yard Sam Darnold touchdown pass.

Seattle is a 7.5-point favorite in the latest Saints vs. Seahawks odds from SportsLine consensus, while the over/under for total points scored is 41.5. The Seahawks are -394 money line favorites (risk $394 to win $100),

Since the opening loss to the 49ers, the Seahawks have been flashing back to their glory days of last decade. They're starting to suggest those days may be returning.

The 2013 Seahawks held the Carolina Panthers (eventual NFC No. 2 seed) to 7 points in Charlotte, stymied the San Francisco 49ers (NFC Championship runner-up) to 3 points in Seattle, and dispatched the hapless Jacksonville Jaguars in a 45-17 blowout. Naturally, the 2-14 Houston Texans broke the streak but still lost 23-20 in overtime.

The Seahawks have turned in the most dominant first half of this NFL season. Seattle leads New Orleans 38-6 at halftime, a scoring margin that hasn’t been seen in the NFL since 2023, when the Raiders led the Chargers 42-0 at halftime of a game that got Chargers coach Brandon Staley fired.
