Seahawks vs Chiefs live updates: Start time, TV channel for NFL preseason game
Head coach Mike Macdonald indicated the Seahawks' first team offense will take the field tonight, but it remains to be seen how long they will play.

Football nerd: Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald blends tradition and innovation
Last year, Mike Macdonald became the first head coach in Seahawks history to reach 10 wins in his first season. The 2025 campaign kicks off next month. (GeekWire Photo / Taylor Soper) It's about 10 minutes into my interview with Mike Macdonald, and I get the sense that the Seattle Seahawks head coach is a little geeky. 'Geek is a compliment,' he said. 'I've been called a football nerd.' Macdonald, 38, became the NFL's youngest head coach when he joined the Seahawks last year. He was also a straight-A student in high school and graduated summa cum laude with a finance degree from University of Georgia. So it's not a big surprise that Macdonald embraces innovative tools and strategies. In an interview with GeekWire earlier this year at Lumen Field, Macdonald described his approach as a hybrid of traditional football fundamentals and modern technology. 'We have a philosophy in Seattle: old school principles, new school methods,' he said. 'We're going to build on a strong foundation, but whatever we can do to give us an edge — we're going to get after it.' Thanks to advanced tracking and analytics, NFL teams have more data than ever — and it's changing how the game is played. One clear example: how coaches approach fourth down decisions. 'We have a way to measure the advantage you get for going for it on fourth down,' Macdonald said. 'Every team has that.' That data can shift play-calling not just on fourth down but throughout an entire drive, Macdonald said. Macdonald doesn't see analytics and instinct as mutually exclusive — instead, he views data as a decision-making tool to support what coaches already know from film, practice, and experience. 'It's a constant balance,' he said. We spoke to Macdonald as part of an event showcasing Microsoft's partnership with the NFL, which now includes use of the company's Copilot AI software for scouting, allowing teams to get immediate insights by simply asking questions versus waiting for analysts to crunch spreadsheets. 'Earlier information is better,' Macdonald said. Macdonald, who was previously the Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator, last year became the first coach in franchise history to reach 10 wins in his first season. He'll try to top that mark as the Seahawks kick off their 2025 season next month. We ended our chat with a little quick-hit Q&A. Mac or PC? 'I had a PC in college. I switched to Mac. But ever since I've been working in football, I've been on a PC.' Favorite video game: 'Madden. I've stopped playing the last couple years, but I love Madden. Loved NCAA back in the day. MVP Baseball 2005 was a great game.' Favorite app: 'Text message app. I get more text messages now, holy smokes.' What should GeekWire readers know about you? 'I'm an open book on this stuff. I think it's cool to be into stuff that is high-tech, data-driven. You're telling me you're smart and you're trying to find edges and trying to find new frontier — that's cool to me. It sounds like a winning formula.'

Why Isiah Pacheco's ADP rising is no fluke
Yahoo Fantasy's Matt Harmon and Justin Boone discuss why managers should expect a bounce back season from Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco. Hear the full conversation on the 'Yahoo Fantasy Forecast' podcast - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript I mean, because they're mostly about backups, I'll take the one where we can talk about the starter more, and that's the Pacheco situation, right? I think people were worried that with all the backs that they brought in there, having Kareem Hunt from last year, bringing in Elijah Mitchell, drafting Berard Smith, who has this pass-catching, you know, skill set, that that was going to turn into some like really ugly committee, where I'm not sure that's going to be the case. Like, we're one year removed from Pacheco being a top 15 fantasy. On a per-game basis. Last year, people felt burned, but he was injured. He was not the same player when he came back from that injury. Now it looks like he's healthy. It looks like he is going to be back and scoring a lot of touchdowns, and he very clearly is back in that backfield. Somebody else that I'm more than happy to grab as my RB2, and somebody that I've seen going earlier and earlier here in drafts. So it's interesting, maybe people are catching on to that, but Berard Smith is still a nice, you know, dynasty piece. I'm not so sure he's going to be a guy that you're going to be able to use in fantasy this year because even if Pacheco gets hurt again, that's when you're going to have Kareem Hunt and Elijah Mitchell and these other guys step up. And I still think that Berard Smith would only have like a pass-catching role in the backfield. He's not somebody that's going to step in and take over there. So Pacheco is on the rise, keep him moving up your draft boards. I think he's a guy you could be happy to have as your RB2 this season. Yeah, Pacheco's been the guy that, of that group of, you know, whatever running backs, I've, I've had the highest. I think I need to actually put a bigger gap between him and some of the other players 'cause unlike, all right, well, we gotta figure out the Jets' backfield, or we gotta figure out the Giants back. We got to feel like you're the Steelers backfield. This is the damn Kansas City Chiefs. They're gonna be like a top 5 team in projected points. It really matters who their RB1 is, especially if this doesn't turn into some kind of weird committee. So glad you highlighted that one, that probably should move the needle more than any of the others. Close

Geno Smith: 'Let 'Em Sleep on the Raiders. We're Working in the Shadows'
Following a Week 1 win in the 2022 NFL season, then-Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith responded to a question about being "written off" by saying that he didn't "write back." Smith has now delivered another banger of a one-liner about his new team, that being the Las Vegas Raiders. "I believe that the game gets settled between the white lines on game day. From my vantage point, we got a really, really good team. I don't know if we'll shock anyone inside of this building, but maybe shock some outsiders. But it's good. Let 'em sleep. I don't want them to see us coming. We're just working in the shadows right now, getting our game right and when it's time to go under those bright lights, I think we'll be ready," Smith said in an appearance on NFL Network on Monday. Smith was an essential element to a pivotal offseason for the Raiders, which also saw them hire a new general manager in John Spytek and a new head coach in former Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. Later acquiring Smith from Seattle for a third-round draft pick, Las Vegas reunited Carroll with his former quarterback. Smith and the Raiders later agreed to a two-year, $75 million extension. Last season (2024), Smith totaled 4,320 passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns, 15 interceptions and a 93.2 passer rating, while completing 70.4% of his passes. He also rushed for 272 yards and two touchdowns. Smith ranked 12th among quarterbacks with an 83.1 overall grade, according to Pro Football Focus. Across his three years as Seattle's starting quarterback (2022-24), Smith averaged 4,075.3 passing yards, 23.7 passing touchdowns, 11.7 interceptions and a 95.5 passer rating per season, while completing 68.5% of his passes. He was a Pro Bowler in each of the first two seasons, with Carroll and the Seahawks parting ways after the 2023 season. Smith had previously backed up Russell Wilson from 2019-21, which was preceded by a four-year stint with the New York Jets (2013-16) and one-year stints with the New York Giants (2017) and Los Angeles Chargers (2018). As for the perceived doubt surrounding the Raiders' 2025 prospects, their division (AFC West) includes three teams that made the playoffs last season; the Kansas City Chiefs have won three of the past six Super Bowls and won the AFC in five of the past six seasons, including in 2024, while the Chargers and Denver Broncos each won double-digit games and earned a wild-card berth last season. The Raiders finished 4-13. As for the rest of the Raiders' offseason, they selected Boise State running back and 2024 Heisman Trophy runner-up Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, while adding safety Jeremy Chinn, defensive end Malcolm Koonce, linebacker Elandon Roberts and running back Raheem Mostert, among other signings. Ironically, Smith and the Raiders open the 2025 preseason on the road against the Seahawks on Thursday. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
