2024 Seattle Seahawks season
American football team season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2024 season was 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. The team improved their win records from the previous two seasons; however, the Seahawks missed the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2008–2009. The Seahawks finished tied with the Los Angeles Rams for the NFC West division title, but the Rams won the division based on the strength of victory tiebreaker. This was also the second straight season the Seahawks missed a playoff spot by the strength of victory tiebreaker. They were the first team since the 2020 Miami Dolphins to miss the playoffs despite having double-digit wins, and the first to do so since the NFL expanded to 17 games. This was their first season since 2009 without Pete Carroll as head coach of the team, after he was relieved of his role in the offseason.

Despite a strong 8-5 start, they suffered back-to-back critical losses against the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings which significantly decreased their playoff hopes in the season.
The Seahawks notably struggled at home during the season, going 3–6, their worst home record since 2008. Conversely, they went 7–1 on the road, which included sweeping their road division games.
This would be the last season with wide receivers Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, and quarterback Geno Smith on the roster. Lockett was released after the season on March 5, 2025, ending his ten-year stint with the team, while Smith and Metcalf would be traded eight days later to the Raiders and Steelers, respectively.[1]
