What happened: The Seattle Seahawks are officially in the running for a Best Team award, with fan voting open through July 15. The franchise is leaning on its supporters to secure the honor after capturing a Super Bowl championship.

Why it matters: While their title run was elite and warrants the recognition, sustaining that success is another story. Winning consecutive championships in the modern league is incredibly rare, and Seattle will enter the 2026 season with a massive target on its back as the rest of the conference reloads.
