Kicker Jason Myers and the Moment That Changed the Seahawks’ Entire Season — The Truth Behind His NFC Special Teams Player of the Month Honor That Stunned the Entire NFL
Seattle, Washington – 12/05/2025
The Seattle Seahawks are battling through one of the toughest NFC playoff races in recent years, and their biggest momentum swing didn’t come from a quarterback or a star playmaker — it came from kicker Jason Myers. After a dominant month of November, Myers has officially been named NFC Special Teams Player of the Month, a recognition that highlights not only his consistency but also his growing impact on Seattle’s postseason hopes.

Despite criticism surrounding his missed 61-yard field goal against the Rams, Myers has been nothing short of elite throughout the season. In November, he led the entire NFL with 15 made field goals, including three from 50+ yards. He also added 16 extra points and finished the month with 61 total points, outscoring several offenses during Seattle’s most competitive stretch of the year.
November also marked a historic milestone: Myers officially surpassed Stephen Hauschka to become the all-time field goal leader in Seahawks history with 187 conversions. But what made the moment special wasn’t just the number — it was the reaction in the locker room.
“In your most chaotic moments, you realize some milestones aren’t just about you, but the team putting their trust in you; and when I saw my teammates celebrating, I knew what’s ahead could be bigger than anyone imagines; sometimes one kick doesn’t just change a game — it changes a journey.”
Myers hasn’t just excelled in scoring — he’s been exceptional in the kickoff game as well. According to Elias Sports Bureau, Seahawks opponents have had the worst average starting field position in the NFL, beginning drives at just the 27.3-yard line, a subtle but critical advantage that has consistently put Seattle’s defense in control.
Head coach Mike Macdonald praised Myers as a “spiritual anchor” for a team grinding week after week to stay in the playoff hunt. And while he may not deliver highlight-reel plays like DK Metcalf or Devon Witherspoon, Myers provides something every playoff contender needs: precision, stability, and the ability to shift momentum when no one expects it.
December will only get tougher, but Seattle has every reason to believe:
When Jason Myers is locked in — the Seahawks always have a chance.
