The Seattle Seahawks have turned into a staple in the postseason. They have qualified for the playoffs in all but four seasons since 2003. The head coach and quarterback duo of Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson has the Seahawks as championship contenders year in and year out.
This was apparent in 2019. The NFC West race between Seattle and the San Francisco 49ers came down to a Week 17 matchup. Seattle, who already had a head-to-head victory in Week 10, needed a win in the final game to tie San Francisco in the standings.
The Seahawks would have taken the division title via head-to-head tiebreaker. It was an incredible game that went right down to the wire, and down to the goal line. In the end, it was the Niners who stole a 26-21 victory.
The Seahawks entered the postseason as a wild card team and defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in the first game. This set up another instant classic against the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round. Aaron Rodgers and the Pack got the better of Seattle. This goes to show how important the division title that led to a first round bye was.
The Seahawks are determined to get over the hump in 2020. They took one step closer when they added Jamal Adams in a trade with the New York Jets. Here are four bold predictions for the Seahawks for the upcoming season.
