The Seattle Seahawks are planning as though Philip Rivers will be the starting quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts this week.

The amount of unknowns left on the Seattle Seahawks' 2025 schedule has been cut in half with their Week 17 game now set against the Carolina Panthers.

The NFL answered one of the two remaining questions about the Seahawks schedule by announcing when they will play at Carolina.

Seattle’s 10–3 record is impressive, but their weak schedule raises doubts. Their tough upcoming stretch will either quiet those questions or confirm them.

Colts are leaning on 44-year-old Philip Rivers to rescue their season, and it starts with Week 15 game against Seahawks

The Indianapolis Colts will start 44-year-old quarterback Philip Rivers against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, a league source told The Athletic. Rookie sixth-round pick Riley Leonard will be his backup.

The reason Seattle’s been so dominant on defense, and is 10-3, starts with its run defense. A huge test for it Sunday at Lumen Field.

The NFL set its Week 17 schedule by setting up a Saturday doubleheader that could have a significant impact on the playoff picture.
