Jacksonville, FL – The Seattle Seahawks secured a 20-12 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars on October 12, 2025, marking their fourth win of the season. This match took place at EverBank Stadium and extended the Seahawks’ impressive run with their ninth consecutive road win.
In this game, Shaquill Griffin made a significant impact in his first start of the 2025 season. Elevated from the practice squad due to injuries in the secondary, Griffin stepped in following the exclusion of Riq Woolen due to a concussion and the likely absence of Devon Witherspoon. Griffin showcased his skills with a solid performance, recording seven tackles throughout the game.
Coach Mike Macdonald commended Griffin’s competitiveness and his ability to engage effectively with the mental aspects of the game. Griffin himself expressed enthusiasm about returning to the field, noting the warm reception he felt from his teammates, which reminded him of earlier times.
Griffin’s journey to the Seahawks includes a notable background. Originally from St. Petersburg, Florida, he attended the University of Central Florida before signing a three-year, $44.5 million contract with the Jaguars in 2021. Facing his former team for the first time since departing, Griffin viewed this match as an opportunity for redemption, remarking that reconnecting with former teammates was not an awkward experience.
The Seahawks’ defense played a crucial role in securing the victory, contributing with seven sacks and 17 quarterback hits. Key defensive performances came from players like DeMarcus Lawrence and Byron Murphy II, the latter of whom made a notable contribution shortly after welcoming a new child into his family.
The victory also highlights the resilience of a Seahawks secondary dealing with several injuries. Alongside Woolen and Witherspoon, safety Julian Love was also ruled out prior to the game, making Griffin’s return all the more vital to bolster the roster.
With the Seahawks achieving this victory, they are poised to continue their winning streak as the season progresses, demonstrating strong team dynamics and strategic play. The organization aims to maintain momentum as they move forward in this competitive season.
