2013 Seattle Seahawks season

The 2013 season was the Seattle Seahawks' 38th in the National Football League and their fourth under head coach Pete Carroll. With the Seahawks 10th win only 11 weeks into the season, the team secured double-digit victories in consecutive seasons for the first time in franchise history. Their 13–3 regular season record is tied with the 2005 season for the best in franchise history. Seattle’s defense in 2013 is regarded by many to be one of the best in NFL history.Seattle entered the 2013 season at 17/2 odds to win Super Bowl XLVIII, just short of the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers at 6/1. This was despite placing second in the NFC West and dropping its divisional round game against the Atlanta Falcons the previous year. The Seahawks were, by power ranking, ranked the strongest team by an NFL.com analyst before the season and by ESPN analysts after the regular season. The defense led the league in points allowed (231), yards allowed (4,378), and takeaways (39), the first team to lead all three categories since the 1985 Chicago Bears. Their +186 point differential is the best in franchise history. The Seahawks clinched the NFC's No. 1 seed and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs with their 13–3 record.

2016 Seattle Seahawks season

The 2016 season was the Seattle Seahawks' 41st in the National Football League and their seventh under head coach Pete Carroll. On October 23, the team played the Arizona Cardinals in a game that ended in a 6–6 tie, the Seahawks' first tie in franchise history. With their win against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 15, the Seahawks claimed their third NFC West title in the last four years. The Seahawks defeated the Detroit Lions in the Wild Card Round, but lost to the eventual NFC champion Atlanta Falcons in the Divisional Round. Another highlight from this season includes head coach Pete Carroll's first return to Gillette Stadium on November 13 for the first time in 17 years. Carroll served as Patriots head coach from 1997–1999, the last before Bill Belichick's hiring in 2000. For the first time since trading for him in 2010, Marshawn Lynch did not play for the Seahawks as he retired in the offseason. Lynch would later come out of retirement to play for his hometown team Oakland Raiders before their relocation to Las Vegas before rejoining the Seahawks in December 2019.

For the first time since 2010, Earl Thomas did not play for the Seahawks as he signed with the Baltimore Ravens via free agency during the offseason. Thomas was the last remaining original member of the Legion of Boom defensive secondary. This is also the first time since 2010 without wide receiver Doug Baldwin, as he was released from the team after a failed physical designation, along with strong safety Kam Chancellor. Baldwin announced his retirement three days later. The Seahawks set a franchise record for most road wins in a season by going 7–1. Their previous best was 6–2 during the 2013 season.

2021 Seattle Seahawks season

The 2021 season is the Seattle Seahawks' 46th season in the National Football League, their 20th playing their home games at their current venue, Lumen Field, as well as their 12th under head coach Pete Carroll. After a 13-10 home loss to the New Orleans Saints, they failed to improve on last year's 12–4 record, but will still try to win the division in back-to-back years for the first time since 2013–2014. This is the Seahawks’ first season since 2010 without long-time linebacker K. J. Wright, as he signed with the Las Vegas Raiders on September 2nd. This was also the Seahawks’ first season since 2011 that long-time quarterback Russell Wilson wasn’t the team’s starting QB in a regular season game after he ruptured his middle finger against the rival Los Angeles Rams on October 7th. The injury snapped his streak of starting every single game since September 9, 2012, and was just 6 games shy of surpassing Matt Ryan for 5th place in the all-time consecutive starts by a quarterback list. Wilson was also the active leader in consecutive starts by a quarterback after Philip Rivers (2nd all time in the list) retired on January 20, 2021 prior to Wilson's injury. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady became the new active leader in consecutive starts, starting every single game since October 9, 2016. The game Wilson came back as a starter, however, Seattle was shut out 0–17 to the Green Bay Packers, the first time they failed to score in a game since losing 0–24 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2011, the year before Wilson was drafted.

Legion of Boom (Seattle Seahawks)

The Legion of Boom (LOB) was the Seattle Seahawks secondary during its rise to prominence in the 2010s. The original group that was nicknamed the Legion of Boom consisted of the main starters in the Seahawks defensive backfield, or secondary (the cornerback and safety positions): Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Brandon Browner, Walter Thurmond and Byron Maxwell. Over time, the nickname grew to encompass the Seahawks defense as a whole, including prominent players such as Bobby Wagner, K. J. Wright, Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril, Malcolm Smith, Brandon Mebane, Frank Clark, Chris Clemons and Bruce Irvin. Other eventual starting members of the secondary included Jeremy Lane, DeShawn Shead, Tharold Simon, Marcus Burley, Bradley McDougald, Shaquill Griffin and Justin Coleman. During the LOB era, the Seahawks amassed six consecutive winning seasons, three division titles, two NFC championships, and a Super Bowl victory. They made the playoffs in five consecutive seasons (winning at least one game each appearance) and finished with five consecutive 10+ win seasons, a feat the franchise had never achieved in a consecutive season prior. They also appeared in back-to-back Super Bowls, winning once to secure the franchise's first ever championship. During the 2012 to 2015 seasons, the Seahawks led the league in scoring defense, allowing the fewest points scored each year for four years straight. The only other team to accomplish this feat were the Cleveland Browns of the 1950s. The 2013 defense led the league in points allowed (231), yards allowed (4,378), and takeaways (39), the first team to lead all three categories since the 1985 Chicago Bears.

List of Seattle Seahawks seasons

This article is a compilation of the list of seasons completed by the Seattle Seahawks American football franchise of the National Football League (NFL). The list documents the season-by-season records of the Seahawks' franchise from 1976 to present, including postseason records, and league awards for individual players or head coaches. As of the end of the 2019 NFL season, the Seahawks have 24 winning seasons, 17 losing seasons, and four seasons where they finished 8–8. With a 35–6 Week 14 win over the Baltimore Ravens on December 13 during the 2015 season, not only did the Seahawks improved to 8–5 at that point in the season, but the Seahawks' all–time franchise regular season win–loss record improved to 313–312–0; this marked the first time ever in team history that the Seahawks have had an overall winning regular season win–loss record (a win–loss record above .500). Since re-joining the National Football Conference in 2002, the Seahawks have compiled a record of 167–120–1 (as of the end of the 2019 season). Also since then, the Seahawks have had only four losing seasons (all between 2008 and 2011), although their 2010 team won the Western division title, despite finishing with a 7–9 record. Counting their inaugural 1976 season, where they finished 2–12, Seattle's overall record as an NFC franchise is 169–132–1, while finishing 166-204 during their time as a member of the AFC. During their tenure in the American Football Conference, the Seahawks won the Western division twice (1988 and 1999), and made the AFC Championship game in 1983, their first-ever playoff season. In twenty-five seasons as a member of the AFC West, Seattle made the playoffs five times, with the team's most successful period prior to re-joining the NFC was during the tenure of head coach Chuck Knox, during a nine-season period from 1983 to 1991. Knox was responsible for four of the five playoff appearances that the Seahawks made during their time in the AFC, while in 1999, Seattle made the playoffs in Mike Holmgren's first season in charge, and it was the team's last AFC playoff appearance (a Wild Card playoff loss to the Miami Dolphins) before the transition to the NFC. Seattle is the only active NFL franchise to appear in both of the AFC and NFC championship games, doing so in 1983 (AFC), 2005, 2013, and 2014 (NFC), winning the latter three. The Seahawks are one of four North American men's professional sports teams that have played in Seattle with an all–time winning record, after the Seattle Metropolitans (the first American team to win the Stanley Cup in 1917, folded in 1924), the Seattle SuperSonics (who relocated to Oklahoma City and became the Thunder in the summer of 2008), and the Seattle Sounders FC (established in 2007 as an expansion franchise, currently active).
