7.2.1 NFC Wild Card Playoffs: at (4) Philadelphia Eagles.In 2019, all but four of the Seahawks' games were decided by one possession (8 or less points). įormer Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch returned due to a slew of injuries to other running backs. 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. 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. 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. Rookie wide receiver DK Metcalf made an immediate impact. 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. 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. A loss by the Rams later that day clinched the Seahawks their seventh playoff appearance in the last eight seasons.
With a Week 15 win over the Carolina Panthers, the Seahawks improved on their 10–6 record from the previous season. Īfter 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. 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. 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. 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. Although Clowney accrued a lower sack total than his previous seasons, he provided some much needed quarterback pressure in a lackluster Seattle pass rush. Over his 13-game season, Clowney obtained 3 sacks, 1 interception, 13 QB hits, both an interception and fumble return touchdown, as well as a career-high 4 forced fumbles. 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. Their previous best was 6–2 during the 2013 season. The Seahawks set a franchise record for most road wins in a season by going 7–1. Baldwin announced his retirement three days later. 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. Thomas was the last remaining original member of the Legion of Boom defensive secondary.

It marked their first full season since 1996 without longtime owner Paul Allen, who had died during the 2018 season.įor 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. Neal has 23 tackles and one sack this season, but having to put him into the starting lineup will impact Seattle’s ability to play packages with five or six defensive backs over the final few weeks of the regular season.The 2019 season was the Seattle Seahawks' 44th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 10th under head coach Pete Carroll. Versatile backup Ryan Neal should step in as the starter as he did a year ago when Adams missed four games due to injury. Adams missed two games his first three seasons with the Jets. There also seems to be growing concern about his durability after two straight major shoulder injuries along with groin and finger injuries that have limited his availability to 24 of a possible 33 regular-season games since coming to Seattle. This season, Adams improved significantly in his pass coverage but Seattle was using him far less as a blitzing pass rusher.Īdams will finish this season with 87 total tackles and two interceptions, but just four tackles for loss, two quarterback hits and zero sacks.
Last season, Adams set an NFL record for sacks by a defensive back with 9½, but struggled badly in pass coverage. And with Seattle’s 4-8 record this season, the cost of sending two first-round picks to the New York Jets to acquire the safety - including the Seahawks’ 2022 first-round selection - is looming large. His time with the Seahawks has yielded mixed results.
