The good times just keep on rolling for the Seattle Seahawks.

Even with their starting quarterback going down with an injury on the team’s opening series of the season, the reigning Super Bowl champions are off to a 2-0 start that stretched their win streak to a franchise-best 12 games.

Here’s a look at eight numbers to know from both their start to 2026 and their overall dominance over the past two seasons.

A franchise-best win streak

• 12 – The Seahawks have won a franchise-record 12 straight games, including the postseason, dating back to Week 12 of 2025. They also are 16-1 since Week 6 of last season and 25-5 since Week 11 of 2024. Their previous franchise-best win streak was 11 games from Weeks 5-16 during its 2005 NFC title-winning campaign.

2nd-half dominance

• 37-3 – The Seahawks have outscored their first two opponents by a combined 37-3 margin in the second half. They outscored the New England Patriots 13-3 in the second half of their season-opening 13-10 win, and then blanked the Cardinals 24-0 in the second half of their 31-7 rout.

A league of his own

• 2,070 – Jaxon Smith-Njigba has an NFL-leading 2,070 receiving yards over 19 regular-season games since the start of 2025. The next-closest receiver over that span is Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua at 1,789 yards. Smith-Njigba piled up an NFL-high 1,793 receiving yards last season – the eighth-most in a single season in league history – and has a league-high 277 receiving yards through the first two weeks of this season.

• 11 – Smith-Njigba has 11 regular-season games with 100-plus receiving yards since the start of 2025, according to Stathead. Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase and Dallas Cowboys wideout CeeDee Lamb are the next-closest with seven 100-yard receiving games over that span.

Next man up

• 4 – Backup quarterback Drew Lock ranks fourth in ESPN’s QBR metric at 85.8. He trails only the San Francisco 49ers’ Brock Purdy (95.7), the Cowboys’ Dak Prescott (86.7) and the Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen (86.5). Lock has completed 35 of 48 passes for 422 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions while filling in for injured starter Sam Darnold.

The ‘Dark Side’ defense

• 3.8 – The Seahawks allowed a league-low 3.8 yards per play through their first two games. The NFL average is 5.4 yards per play. Just two other defenses are allowing fewer than 4.5 yards per play – the Green Bay Packers (3.9) and the New York Jets (4.0).

• 0 – The Seahawks are the only team in the NFL that hasn’t allowed a gain of 20-plus yards this season. For context, the other 31 teams have combined to allow 208 plays of 20-plus yards – an average of 6.7 such plays per team.

• 10 – The Seahawks have a league-high 10 different players with at least one tackle for loss. Leonard Williams leads the way with three tackles for loss, while Julian Love and Drake Thomas have two apiece. Byron Murphy II, Derick Hall, Jarran Reed, Uchenna Nwosu, Rylie Mills, Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe each have one.
