Kubiak’s impact on Seattle’s offense has been one of the season’s defining storylines. In the first half of the 2025 campaign, the offense averaged 246.1 passing yards per game with 1.9 passing touchdowns, a 112.6 QB rating, and a 39.2 percent third-down conversion rate. From Weeks 11–18, Seattle shifted to a more run-centric attack, posting 133.4 rushing yards per game and 4.5 yards per carry, while a 40.4 percent third-down conversion rate helped sustain drives.
Overall, Seattle’s offense finished strong, ranking fourth in yards per play (5.9) and sixth in scoring rate (45.9 percent). The Seahawks were 11th in points per drive (2.32) and 32.5 yards per drive, with performances in the Divisional Round and NFC Championship Game further strengthening the case for Kubiak’s role as the offensive architect.
On the coaching openings, Schefter indicated Las Vegas is the more desirable destination. The Raiders are expected to use the first-overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on Fernando Mendoza, presenting Kubiak with the chance to work with a potential franchise quarterback prospect, along with All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers and a cornerstone running back in Ashton Jeanty.
Schefter also noted that the Raiders’ willingness to pay top dollar for a coaching staff could position Kubiak for long-term success in Las Vegas, a contrast to what Arizona might offer. This development underscores the ongoing NFL coaching carousel as Seattle moves toward life after its offensive coordinator.
