Dave and Lefko look back on the Seahawks’ dominant defensive week seventeen win over the Panthers, they break down how concerning Sam Darnold’s slow starts have been this late in the season, and they discuss how important the run game has been to the Seahawks success over the last few weeks.
In the first hour, Dick Fain and Hugh Millen react to the Seahawks entering Week 18 at 13-3 and the big statistics this season defensively and offensively, leading to a debate surrounding Sam Darnold’s impact on the season overall, then we have Fun w/ Audio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot break down the massive Seahawks–49ers matchup, laying out the stark difference between winning the NFC's top seed versus entering the playoffs as a road-bound wild card. They debate San Francisco's battered defense, Seattle's dominant defense, and whether Sam Darnold can rediscover the early-season form that once put him in MVP conversations—especially after scoring just 18 total first-half points over the last four games. Mitch floats a classic emotional hedge: bet the 49ers money-line so a Seahawks win feels priceless and a loss at least comes with consolation cash. Mitch and Brady Henderson break down Seattle's 27–10 win over Carolina, praising another elite defensive performance while sounding alarms about the offense's habit of slow starts and turnovers, with just 18 first-half points over the last four games. They preview Saturday night's NFC West showdown in Santa Clara, weighing a battered 49ers defense against Brock Purdy's red-hot offense and debating which version of Sam Darnold shows up. The segment closes with Taco Time honors for DeMarcus Lawrence and Zach Charbonnet, as Seattle stands one win away from the NFC's No. 1 seed and a first-round bye. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch for a wide-ranging College Football Playoff preview, diagnosing Clemson's 7–6 collapse as the moment NIL and the portal finally "happened" to Dabo Swinney, and reacting with surprise to Kyle Whittingham leaving Utah for Michigan as a potential cleanup hire. Neuheisel breaks down all four CFP games, backing Ohio State to survive Miami, Texas Tech to upset Oregon, Indiana to knock off Alabama, and Ole Miss to take down Georgia. He locks in Ole Miss plus the points as his official pick, staying hot at 8–6 against the spread while handing out Taco Time honors along the way.

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil share their reactions to the "Elway" documentary that came out recently on Netflix. What did the guys learn about John Elway and what more were they looking for? We preview the impactful games in the NFL in week 18 and discuss how great Brock Purdy and Sam Darnold have been this season. We react to the Charges announcing Justin Herbert will not play in the week 18 matchup with the Broncos. What will the Broncos mindset be with an injured and resting Chargers team? Is the Nuggets record in "clutch games" something to be concerned about or should we chalk it up to the injuries to their starting rotation? We react to the University of Colorado hiring Fernando Lovo to be the next Athletic Director of the school. What questions do the guys have with the up-and-coming AD?
The Carolina Panthers' offense hit a wall in Charlotte today as they fell 27-10 to a dominant Seattle Seahawks defense. What started as a gritty 3-3 defensive battle at the half completely unraveled in the third quarter after back-to-back turnovers gave Sam Darnold and Zach Charbonnet all the help they needed to seal the game. Bryce Young was held to just 54 passing yards, and while he found the end zone with his legs, the 1-of-11 third-down efficiency tells the real story.In this video, we're breaking down the turning points, including that deflating Jaycee Horn facemask penalty and the season-ending injury to Ja'Tavion Sanders. We also look ahead to next week's "win-and-in" scenario against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Is the NFC South still within reach? Let's talk about it.
The Seattle Seahawks earned a victory at home over their division rival Los Angeles Rams and now head for the road to close out the final two games of the 2025 regular season. Can they finish strong enough to be able to return home for their playoff run? We kick off the show by taking a look back at the win over the Rams and some of the key moments. Is there one area where Rams fans have a legitimate gripe about the two-point conversion call that tied the game up for the Seahawks? We also talk about the Seahawks record against teams that are set to make the playoffs this season. They currently stand at 4-2, and they have a chance to improve that record over these final two weeks of the season if the Panthers are able to win their division. That record comes with a slightly disturbing stat -- or maybe a stat that provides optimism depending on your perspective. Either way, it's going to be something they likely have to overcome each week. Is there anything that should worry us about this matchup with the Panthers? We get into some of the reasons why the Panthers find themselves in position to win their division. In the second half of the show, we discuss the Seahawks six players selected for the Pro Bowl. Sam Darnold was outside the top 10 in fan voting, yet earned a spot over some high end quarterbacks in the NFC. Byron Murphy received more fan votes than any other defensive tackle, yet he was snubbed. The New York Jets franchise finds itself in the spotlight of the Do Better segment along with an Australian snake. Better at life honors go to a mammal of unusual size and Seahawks backup who deserves more praise than he's received this past week.

In this series, we dive deep into what it will take for the Hawks to go all the way to Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara.

It's a football Friday as we prepare for the Seahawks to face the Panthers on Sunday morning. Who is this Panthers team?

RUNDOWN Did you see Anthony Joshua knocking out Jake Paul in a Netflix spectacle that somehow guaranteed both fighters $92 million? While relieved to see Paul finally get hit for real, Mitch is stunned that global interest was strong enough to justify such an enormous payout for an eight-round exhibition. The segment becomes a blunt look at influencer economics, Netflix's business model, and why modern fame—not boxing legitimacy—now drives sports entertainment. Hotshot relives an on-air argument about whether Andy Gibb was a Bee Gee, while Mitch tells the story of getting yanked off a Syracuse DJ shift for interrupting a song to announce Andy Gibb's death. They pivot to Thursday night's Seahawks win over the Rams—Hotshot admits the overturned two-point conversion still feels "cheap," and Mitch argues the lack of urgency proves Seattle believed the play was designed as a forward pass until it wasn't. The segment ends with Mr. Playoffs logic: even if Seattle grabs the NFC's top seed, the Rams likely become the dangerous 5-seed and could boomerang right back into Seattle's divisional-round path. Ray Roberts joins Mitch for an intense Upon Further Review debate, rejecting the idea that the Rams are clearly better and arguing the two teams are neck-and-neck, winning in different ways. He points to Seattle's resilience, defensive toughness, and locker-room connectedness as unmeasurable traits that data and "eye tests" often miss, especially when a team keeps finding ways to win close games. The conversation drills into the overtime drive, the two-point conversion, Sam Darnold's growth, and whether the real breakthrough may be Clint Kubiak learning how best to deploy his quarterback under pressure. Henderson and Bevens dissect the Seahawks' improbable comeback over the Rams, with both pointing to belief, crowd energy, and elite special teams as the real difference-makers in a game Seattle otherwise struggled to control. The conversation zeroes in on Sam Darnold's fourth-quarter and overtime composure—ugly early, elite late—and whether that drive permanently shifts his ceiling against top competition. They also credit Sean McVay's adjustments for the Rams' offensive surge while arguing Seattle's defense and special teams ultimately tilted the outcome. Neuheisel reacts to the opening round of the College Football Playoff, arguing the Group of Five's lack of competitiveness will force structural change, possibly toward a separate championship or play-in model. He weighs quarterback decisions in the NIL era—suggesting Oklahoma's John Mateer should return to college for a more lucrative year—while breaking down Alabama's escape, Miami's survival, Oregon's dominance, and Ole Miss' surge behind Trinidad Chambliss. The segment closes with Michigan's coaching uncertainty, Neuheisel's skepticism about splash hires, and Taco Time honors for Reuben Bain and Chambliss after standout performances.
