Rise Above | The Sound of the Seahawks: S3 Ep.8 | Presented by T-Mobile

With three straight divisional matchups on the horizon, the Rams come to town for a Week 9 matchup, where even a career day from Jaxon Smith-Njigba proved to not be enough as the Seahawks fell short in overtime. New addition, Ernest Jones IV, begins to settle into his new home of Seattle, where there are hopes that his valuable experience and energy will bring a spark to the roster. The second half of the season is always a sprint, but first the team will use the bye week to rest, refocus, and self-assess. This is where resilience meets ambition, and it is vital the Seahawks take advantage of every opportunity remaining in front of them.

A coach's journey to the NFL is a winding road full of ups and downs, pit stops, and second homes. For Head Coach Mike Macdonald, Defensive Coordinator Aden Durde, and Assistant Head Coach Leslie Frazier, their stories of how they ended up in Seattle are no different. The Seahawks hit the road for a Week 7 matchup against the Falcons, where Derick Hall and Kenneth Walker III's performances were key in getting the Seahawks back on track. Boye Mafe gives us an inside look at a day in his life off the field, while sharing insights into the intricacies of a team dynamic. Coming off a loss to the Bills, it is important to remember that the NFL season is a marathon, and it is time for the Seahawks to turn their attention to their Week 9 matchup vs. the Rams.

After back-to-back losses, the Seahawks are staying focused and looking ahead, using each game as an opportunity to learn and grow as a team. Geno Smith shares insights on the long-standing rivalry between the Seahawks and the 49ers, highlighting memorable moments from their matchups over the years. Tyrel Dodson opens up about his visits to the Seattle Children's Hospital Gaming Center, where spending time with the kids helps him stay present and offers a welcome distraction from any on-field frustrations. With the past behind them, the Seahawks are ready to regroup and take on Week 7 in Atlanta.

What's important now is winning the moment. DK Metcalf breaks down the Seahawks offense, highlighting their undeniable growing cohesiveness heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Dolphins. Detroit native Johnathan Hankins emphasizes the significance of playing in front of his family, channeling that energy to elevate his game. After a small setback, it's time for the Seahawks to make things right and move forward with a quick turnaround showdown against the Giants.

You can't write back when you're busy putting in the work: a sentiment that the Seahawks prove as they start the regular season 2-0. Geno Smith reflects on the evolution of his 10-year NFL career, from building consistency to becoming a veteran in the locker room. The "pure power" that is Derick Hall shows off his truck fleet which is (no surprise) built the same. And the team credits big plays by our defense that helped shut down New England in overtime. With great leadership at the forefront of the team, the Seahawks approach Week 3 for a home game against the Dolphins.

There's fierce competition in the wide receiver room as the Seahawks finalize the 53-man roster. Easop Winston Jr. nods to the competitive crew in the building, while Seahawks Legend Michael Robinson expresses the anxiety he felt around roster cuts each of his eight seasons in the league. Guys are fighting for their dreams - and Mike Macdonald talks about the earned opportunity to play professional football. Now, things are real. And we have everything we need within this team.

Before the grind of the season, the Seahawks callous up in Tennessee with a few joint practices. Jake Bobo talks about making the most of his opportunities and wanting to contribute to the team's success, while Jay Harbaugh gets some laughs as he compares week 1 of the preseason to a science fair volcano. K'Von Wallace speaks on the respect he has for his former organization. And in the words of Coach Macdonald: the team keeps answering the bell.

Deciding where this team will go begins in the offseason. As the Seahawks approach Training Camp, Coach Macdonald gets honest with his dad on the golf course about his decision to take the job in Seattle. Julian Love talks about his belief in the new coaching staff, and "Big Cat" Leonard Williams and Tyler Lockett weigh in about stepping up and playing at a high level. We have talent. We have skill. Now - we're building a mindset and playing Seahawks football. Narrated by Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
