Seahawks not shown much love in USA TODAY's 2025 NFL entertainment rankings

"Putting Sam Darnold behind a shaky offensive front seems like a dangerous setup," Middlehurst-Schwartz wrote. "But between coach Mike Macdonald demanding the offense be centered on the ground game and the receiving corps swapping in Cooper Kupp for DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, Seattle seems to be actively embracing a more vanilla identity, though Macdonald's complex defense will remain."

It should go without saying that how fun a team is to watch is completely subjective. Someone who loves defense may think the dominant 2000 Baltimore Ravens were the most fun team to watch in NFL history, whereas someone who prefers offense might not like watching them at all. That's just one very specific example, but it gets the point across.

That said, it still feels like the Seahawks could be a few spots higher on this list. Even if the offensive identity is more "vanilla" than before, it will be fun to see how all the new pieces fit together. Plus, some players, such as wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and running back Kenneth Walker III, are budding stars who have the potential to take over games.

Then there's the defense, which not only features a few underrated standouts such as cornerback Devon Witherspoon and safety Julian Love, but benefits from Macdonald's creative scheme as well.

The Seahawks may not be a bona fide Super Bowl contender like some of the teams ranked about them, but there's a good deal of entertainment value to be had.
