2017 Seattle Seahawks season

The 2017 Seattle Seahawks season was the franchise's 42nd season in the National Football League and the eighth under Pete Carroll. The Seahawks tried to improve their 10–5–1 record from 2016. However, it did not happen because of injuries to key defensive players, a porous offensive line, and a lack of consistency in the running game. After the Falcons' week 17 win over the 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.

During the season, Russell Wilson broke Eli Manning’s NFL record for most 4th quarter touchdowns in a single season with 18, the previous record was 15. Wilson also led the NFL in touchdown passes with 34. This was Russell Wilson’s first season not making the playoffs.

This was also the final season of the original Legion of Boom playing together, as well as the 21st and last full season under the ownership of Paul Allen, who died during the 2018 season.
