Before the No. 1 seed Seattle Seahawks took on the San Francisco 49ers in an NFC West showdown in the Divisional Round of the 2026 NFL playoffs, the organization decided to hype up fans in the Emerald City with a little help from Baltimore's favorite hardcore band, Turnstile.
Taking to social media and YouTube to share a trailer for their upcoming game, the Seahawks put Turnstile's ruckus "Birds" to good use, reminding fans that, in Seattle, these birds aren't meant to fly alone either.

Known as the 12, Seattle famously has one of the loudest and most passionate fan bases in all of sports, routinely hitting decibel levels similar to the kind of basement shows and rock clubs Turnstile is used to. While it's hard to say if the usage of "Birds" helped Seattle secure the win over the 49ers, their 41-6 victory over their division rivals was the most lopsided win of the NFL playoffs so far and highlights a team that rightfully is considered a playoff favorite.
Now only one question remains: was the use of "Birds" simply a one-off, or should fans expect more Turnstile love over the Seahawks' playoff run?
What do you think?
