Mike Holmgren’s debut as Seahawks head coach was a 28-20 loss to a Detroit Lions team playing without now-retired Barry Sanders and which had beaten him as Packers coach the year before at The Silverdome.

Once fellow members of Bill Walsh’s staff on the Forty-Niners, Mike Holmgren faced his former defensive coordinator and now successor as Packers head coach Ray Rhodes. Shawn Springs’ blocked punt touchdown and Corey Bradford’s 74-yard catch opened a 7-7 game that then became a Seahawks rout as Brett Favre was intercepted four times and benched for Matt Hasselbeck. The 27-7 win left the Seahawks 5-2. Entering 2023 this was the last time the Seahawks defeated the Packers at Lambeau Field. [6]

The wildest game of the year (66 combined points a season high for both teams) occurred at Mile High Stadium. It was mostly a battle of Jason Elam and Todd Peterson field goals until the final four minutes saw the Seahawks outscore the Broncos 13-7; Seattle’s final ten points came in the final 62 seconds on a touchdown, onside kick, and field goal. In overtime Jon Kitna was strip sacked and Glenn Cadrez scored; the 36-30 loss now left the Seahawks’ playoff hopes in the air st 8-6.

They matched their 8–8 record from 1997, but a late-season loss to the New York Jets came due to a controversial call when Jets quarterback Vinny Testaverde ran in a touchdown but was downed short of the goalline yet the play was ruled a touchdown; the loss helped knock Seattle out of the playoffs for the tenth consecutive season.
The 1996 Seattle Seahawks season was the franchise's 21st season in the National Football League (NFL), the 21st playing their home games at the Kingdome and the second under head coach Dennis Erickson.

In the first round of the 1993 NFL Draft, Seattle selected quarterback Rick Mirer, who became their starter for the 1993 season.
The 1992 Seattle Seahawks season was the team's 17th season with the National Football League (NFL). This was the first of three seasons in Seattle for head coach Tom Flores, but the Seahawks' winning percentage (.125) remains the worst in franchise history.

At the time of his retirement, he was the NFL's all-time reception leader.
