Seahawks Host Colts in Key Late-Season NFC-AFC Clash SEATTLE (Interstat) — The surging Seattle Seahawks, boasting one of the NFL’s best records, will host the AFC playoff-hopeful Indianapolis Colts at Lumen Field on Sunday, Dec. 14, 2025, in a pivotal interconference matchup. The Seahawks (10-3) enter on a three-game winning streak, including a dominant 37-9 road victory over the Atlanta Falcons last week. Quarterback Sam Darnold has been instrumental in the team’s success, throwing for 249 yards and three touchdowns while adding 23 rushing yards in that win. Over the past month, Darnold has led the offense with efficiency, guiding the team to scores of 30, 26 and 37 points in three of their last four outings. Conversely, the Colts (8-5) are looking to rebound from a 36-19 divisional loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rookie quarterback Riley Leonard accounted for Indianapolis’ lone passing touchdown in the defeat, but the offense struggled to keep pace. Leonard’s development remains a central storyline for the Colts, who have dropped two of their last three games by a combined seven points. Despite the disparity in records, the Colts have been installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of +13.5, indicating oddsmakers anticipate a competitive contest. The over/under is set at 42.5. National Statistical’s game simulator projects a 32-23 victory for the Seahawks. Seattle’s defense, which posted a shutout against Minnesota two weeks ago, will aim to pressure Leonard. The Colts will counter with a rushing attack featuring Jonathan Taylor, who scored in last week’s loss. The game carries significant postseason implications. Seattle is jockeying for position in the crowded NFC playoff picture, while Indianapolis is in the thick of the AFC wild-card race. A win for the Colts would provide a critical boost against a top-tier opponent, while the Seahawks aim to solidify their status as a conference contender. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:25 p.m. PST at Lumen Field. The Seahawks’ next game is a short-week Thursday afternoon divisional showdown against the Los Angeles Rams on Dec. 18. The Colts return home to host the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, Dec. 22.
