Seahawks Fans Show Growing Confidence Ahead of Texans Matchup

SEATTLE, Wash. — Following last week’s convincing victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Seattle Seahawks fans are feeling more optimistic about the team’s chances as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Houston Texans.

A recent survey of fans found that 97 percent of respondents believe the Seahawks will come out on top this Monday night. This marks a rise from 90 percent last week, indicating strong confidence among supporters. The Seahawks, currently holding a wild card position, aim to further improve their playoff prospects with a win and some help from other teams.

The Seahawks (4-2) are set to face off against the Texans (2-3) at home. Despite their record, the Texans are considered a formidable opponent, especially as they return from a bye week and look to leverage their health advantage. The Seahawks’ home performance has not been consistent, leading to cautious optimism from both players and fans.

Defensive play will likely be crucial for Seattle, as the team has historically performed better on the road, holding a strong 3-0 record away from home this season. Coach Mike Macdonald has led the Seahawks to a 10-1 record on the road, emphasizing their potential for success in hostile environments.

As for the playoff picture, the Seahawks are in a competitive race for the NFC West title, with the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers closely trailing. Seattle could take the division lead if they win against the Texans and the Rams and 49ers falter in their upcoming games.

This week’s survey question focused on Seattle’s potential playoff aspirations, revealing that most fans are hopeful but cautious regarding their chances for the No. 1 seed. Only 2 percent believe the Seahawks will miss the playoffs altogether, showing a strong belief in the team’s direction as they navigate the mid-season stretch.

The Seahawks’ next few games are seen as pivotal for solidifying their status in the playoff race, with Monday night’s matchup serving as a significant litmus test for the team’s aspirations.
