The Open Field: Is 5-3 the record you expected for the Seahawks through 8 games?

It hasn’t been pretty but Seattle is still in good playoff position.

It may not feel like it, but the Seattle Seahawks are indeed 5-3 and have only spent one week below .500 this entire 2023 NFL regular season. With the defense getting a harsh reality check against the Baltimore Ravens and the offense getting held in check a bit too much in recent weeks, there’s some level of concern that what was supposed to be an improvement upon 2022 may either be regression or stagnation.

But in terms of record? Anything better than 5-3 and we’re talking potential Super Bowl contention. Even the “easier” portion of Seattle’s schedule still contains the 5-3 Bengals, 5-3 Browns , and 6-2 Lions. The Seahawks took two of those three and really should’ve won the Bengals game with any average red zone play. Again, maybe 5-3 is the record you’d anticipated when you looked at the schedule and preseason was all wrapped up, but the process probably isn’t what you’d hoped to see.
