The 2019 season was the Seattle Seahawks' 44th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 10th under head coach Pete Carroll. It marked their first full season since 1996 without longtime owner Paul Allen, who had died during the 2018 season.

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 was 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. The Seahawks also set the best record for one-score games at 10-2 until it was surpassed by the 2022 Minnesota Vikings who went 11-0 in one-score games.

Notable events

On September 1, 2019, the Seahawks traded Jacob Martin, Barkevious Mingo and a 2020 3rd round pick (91st overall subsequently traded, Devin Asiasi) to the Houston Texans for star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. Over his 13-game season, Clowney obtained 3 sacks, 1 interception, 13 quarterback hits, both an interception and fumble return touchdown, as well as a career-high 4 forced fumbles. [1] Although Clowney accrued a lower sack total than his previous seasons, he provided some much needed quarterback pressure in a lackluster Seattle pass rush. The Seahawks then made a late-season trade in October, trading a 2020 fifth-round pick to the Detroit Lions for safety Quandre Diggs, in an effort to supplement the loss of Earl Thomas. Diggs indeed bolstered the Seattle secondary: producing 21 tackles, 3 interceptions, 3 pass deflections, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, and a return touchdown during his 5 games with the team.

On October 3, 2019, Seahawks owner Paul Allen was posthumously inducted into the Seahawks Ring of Honor before a 30–29 home victory against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football. [2]

After starting the season with a 10–2 record, they collapsed to a 1–3 finish in the final four games, due in part to injuries. With a Week 15 win over the Carolina Panthers, the Seahawks improved on their 10–6 record from the previous season. A loss by the Rams later that day clinched the Seahawks their seventh playoff appearance in the last eight seasons. In the playoffs, the Seahawks defeated the NFC East champion Philadelphia Eagles 17–9 in the Wild Card round, but lost 28–23 to the Green Bay Packers in the Divisional round. While they finished the regular season with an 11–5 record, they had just a +7 point differential, their worst in the Russell Wilson era. [3]

Rookie wide receiver DK Metcalf made an immediate impact. His 89 receiving yards in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals was the most ever by a Seahawks receiver in their rookie debut, passing Hall of Famer Steve Largent. [4] He caught a total of 58 passes for 900 yards and 7 touchdowns, the second most catches and receiving yards by a rookie in franchise history. Metcalf also holds the NFL and franchise rookie record for most receiving yards in a playoff game, after a 160-yard performance against the Eagles during the Wild Card round. [5]

Former Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch returned due to a slew of injuries to other running backs. In 2019, all but four of the Seahawks' games were decided by one possession (8 or less points).

The 2013 Oakland Raiders season was the franchise's 44th season in the National Football League (NFL), the 54th overall and the second under head coach Dennis Allen. With a 4–12 record, the Raiders secured their eleventh consecutive non-winning season, and missed the playoffs for an eleventh consecutive season. The Raiders entered the season with a new quarterback in Terrelle Pryor. Pryor started off the season in impressive fashion, with the team almost pulling off the upset in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts, and defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2. The team and Pryor eventually cooled down, resulting in Pryor being benched for Matt McGloin in the game against the Houston Texans. Before this game, history was made in the game against the Philadelphia Eagles when Eagles quarterback Nick Foles threw 7 touchdown passes, the most passing touchdowns the Raiders had ever allowed in its history. Prior to the season starting, the Raiders brought back defensive back Charles Woodson, who spent the last 7 years with the Green Bay Packers.

The 2013 season was the San Francisco 49ers' 64th in the National Football League (NFL), 68th overall and third under the head coach/general manager tandem of Jim Harbaugh and Trent Baalke. This marked the first season since 2004 that quarterback Alex Smith was not on the roster as he joined the Kansas City Chiefs. This was the 49ers' final season playing their home games at Candlestick Park before moving into Levi's Stadium for the 2014 season.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2015 San Francisco 49ers season</span> NFL team season

The 2015 season was the San Francisco 49ers' 66th in the National Football League (NFL), the 70th overall, second playing their home games at Levi's Stadium, and the only season under head coach Jim Tomsula. They were attempting to make history as the first Super Bowl host team to play the Super Bowl on their own home field, but they failed to improve on their 8–8 record from 2014, and ended with a 5–11 record to miss the playoffs for the second season in a row and suffered their first losing season and last place finish since 2010 and 2005 respectively, and marked the 31st consecutive year in which the Super Bowl did not include the team in whose region the game was being played, a feat that was not achieved since themselves in 1984 until the 2020 Tampa Bay Buccaneers broke the streak five years later.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2015 Seattle Seahawks season</span> 40th season in franchise history

The Chiefs clinched their first AFC West division title since 2010, beginning a streak of eight consecutive that still stands as of 2023. The Chiefs also clinched a first-round bye for the first time since 2003, but lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Divisional round 18–16.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2016 San Francisco 49ers season</span> NFL team season

The 2016 season was the San Francisco 49ers' 67th in the National Football League (NFL), their 71st overall, their third playing their home games at Levi's Stadium and the only season under head coach Chip Kelly. The season saw the 49ers attempting to rebound from their 5–11 record the previous year, but finished 2–14, with their only wins coming against their division rival Los Angeles Rams. The 49ers also nearly became the first team since the 2001 Carolina Panthers to win their opener and lose the remainder of their games, prior to the 49ers' Week 16 win over the Rams. The 49ers' record was their worst since 2004, when they also finished 2–14. The 49ers' 1–7 home record tied the worst home record in franchise history. As a result, the 49ers fired Kelly and general manager Trent Baalke.

However, it did not happen because of injuries to key defensive players and poor offensive performances. After the Atlanta Falcons' Week 17 win over the Carolina Panthers, they were eliminated from playoff contention for the first time since 2011. They also failed to achieve a 10-win season for the first time since that same season. This was Russell Wilson's first season not making the playoffs.

They also played in London for the first time in franchise history, defeating the Oakland Raiders 27–3 in Week 6. With a win over the Kansas City Chiefs and eventual league MVP Patrick Mahomes in Week 16, the Seahawks returned to the playoffs; their seventh appearance in the nine seasons under Carroll.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2023 Seattle Seahawks season</span> 48th season in franchise history

The 2023 season was the Seattle Seahawks' 48th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 14th and final season under the head coach/general manager tandem of Pete Carroll and John Schneider. The Seahawks matched their 9–8 record from the previous year, but unlike 2022, it was not enough to qualify for the playoffs, as they finished in third place in the division behind the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams, and in a three-way tie with the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints for the last Wild Card spot, which the Packers claimed via tiebreaker. Despite a 5–2 start, key injuries to Geno Smith, Kenneth Walker III, DK Metcalf, and Devon Witherspoon, and poor defensive play led to the Seahawks losing five of their next six. While the Seahawks would win two games in a row, a loss to the Steelers cost them control of their own destiny. In total, Seattle played 11 games and went 3–8 against teams that finished with a winning record, culminating in a collapse that cost them an appearance in the postseason. This was the second time in three seasons that Seattle missed the playoffs, and was the first season since 2009 that Dave Canales was not on the team's payroll, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hired him to be their offensive coordinator for one year.

The 2024 season is the Seattle Seahawks' 49th in the National Football League (NFL), their 15th under general manager John Schneider and their first under head coach Mike Macdonald. They attempt to improve on their 9–8 record from the previous two seasons, make the playoffs after a one-year absence, and end their three-year NFC West title drought. This is their first season since 2009 that Pete Carroll will not be head coach of the team, as he was reassigned to an advisor role in the offseason.
