Fri Sep 26 01:10:00 UTC 2025: **Seahawks Dominate Saints 44-13, Reclaim Home-Field Advantage**
**Seattle, WA – September 21, 2025** – The Seattle Seahawks delivered a resounding 44-13 victory over the New Orleans Saints at Lumen Field on Sunday, fueled by a dominant performance on both sides of the ball and a deafening home crowd. The win marks a significant step towards reclaiming their home-field advantage after a rocky start to the season.
The Seahawks exploded out of the gate, building a 21-0 lead in the first quarter with a balanced attack. The onslaught included four touchdowns, a punt returned for a touchdown, a blocked punt, and a late interception, punctuated by a few field goals. Veteran defensive tackle Jarran Reed, who has consistently emphasized the importance of protecting their home turf, called it “chaos” and players say that’s what the fans expect and what the team wants to provide.
“We got to start protecting home field,” Reed said earlier in the week. “When our fans come to see us, they expect us to win at home, and we expect to win at home. We got to use that to our advantage, our crowd, everything.”
Head Coach Mike Macdonald credited Ernest Jones IV with spearheading the push to improve their home record. “He’s made a big emphasis of it, and guys probably listen to him more than they do to me,” Macdonald stated.
The Seahawks faithful responded in force, creating an electrifying atmosphere. The Saints committed five false starts, a testament to the overwhelming noise that at times made it difficult for even Reed to hear the play calls. The Saints ended the night with eight penalties for 62 yards.
Safety Ty Okada, who stepped in for the injured Julian Love, revealed that Seahawks legend Richard Sherman recently addressed the team, reminding them of the power of their fanbase. “You have to feed these fans, and they will be the loudest fans in the world for you,” Okada quoted Sherman as saying.
Defensive back Derion Kendrick, who secured an interception, echoed the sentiment: “Protecting that house, that means a lot to us. The fans are going to pack out the stadium every time, bring the energy, so we have to do the same.”
The Seahawks, now riding a two-game winning streak, will look to continue their momentum as they head on the road to face the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday Night Football.
