The Rams have swept the season series for the first time since 2004. In the Pete Carroll era, that advantage intensified. Seattle just didn't lose games at home, especially in prime time. From the "Fail Mary" to "Beast Quake," to Richard Sherman's "tip," the 12s witnessed and participated in several epic moments in Seattle football history over the last decade. From 2012 to 2016, the Seahawks lost a whopping six home games in that span and posted a 39-6 record.
After blowing yet another 4th quarter lead, the Seahawks hosted the San Francisco 49ers. Blaine Gabbert was now the 49ers' starting quarterback, replacing Colin Kaepernick, who was placed on IR. Although Marshawn Lynch did not play, the Seahawks relied on Thomas Rawls.
Top 12 Players
All four of the Seahawks' touchdowns were scored by rookies as Tyler Lockett and Thomas Rawls both put up a pair of touchdowns in the win. Again, Russell Wilson was efficient, going 24–29 with 260 passing yards and 3 passing touchdowns. After dominating the 49ers in California, the Seahawks traveled to Dallas to take on the Cowboys. Seattle's only touchdown was a 22-yard pass from Russell Wilson to Luke Willson to give Seattle a 10–3 lead. Late in the second quarter, Ricardo Lockette left the game with an apparent injury after taking a brutal hit by Jeff Heath.
The longest losing streak that the Seattle Seahawks had during the 2015 regular season was 2 games, which occured 2 separate times. Additionally, Wilson improved to 7–2 against the 49ers , extending his winning streak against them to five games. Additionally, Wilson improved to 6–2 against the 49ers , extending his winning streak against them to four games. Additionally, they dropped to 0–2 in overtime games (losing both by game–winning field goals).
REGULAR SEASON
Spiess was flipping through television channels early on the morning of Jan. 20, 2014, when he stumbled across the Seahawks facing the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. He began watching the showdown between the two NFC West rivals and immediately sensed something unique about what was transpiring, even though he didn’t fully comprehend American football. For people like Spiess, the president of the German Sea Hawkers fan club, a moment like this inside Augustiner Stammhaus is hard to fathom.
The Seahawks are in town for a regular-season game, the NFL’s first in Germany. Because the Seahawks are one of if not the most popular NFL team in this country. In close, one-score games, the 2015 Seattle Seahawks went 2-5. In games decided by a field goal or less, the Seahawks went 2-2. It was Marshawn Lynch's final game as he announced his retirement on February 7, 2016.
Game Preview: Week 1 vs. Broncos
Doug Baldwin's success over the same span also continued as he hauled in three passes for touchdowns. Early in the game, running back Thomas Rawls and safety Kam Chancellor left the game with injuries. With Rawls now out for the year with a broken left ankle, the Seahawks turned to DuJuan Harris. Harris was limited to just 42 rushing yards on 18 carries.
After easily defeating the Cleveland Browns at home, the Seahawks remained at home to host the St. Louis Rams. Doug Baldwin's touchdown reception in the third quarter surpasses Daryl Turner's mark set in 1985 for the most receiving touchdowns by a Seahawk in a single season with 14. With the win, the Seahawks improved to 6–5 and earned their first win of the season against a team with a winning record. The Seahawks return to Lumen Field for the final stretch of the season, which will feature four of the remaining five games at home in front of the 12s. However, the results are no longer apparent on the field.

Many Germans point to that era of Seahawks football as the genesis of their fandom. Before the 2013 season, only the Super Bowl was shown on ProSieben free-to-air television in Germany. That year, the network began showing the conference championships, which included Seattle among the final four teams. The next year, the network added divisional-round games, meaning German fans were able to watch Seattle beat Carolina and Green Bay on its way to another Super Bowl. Across the table from Spiess at this pub is Maximilian Länge, the German Sea Hawkers club founder. Länge, 30, was on a family vacation in Oregon in 2008 when he first experienced American football.
From 2017 to 2019, they lost 10 home games (14-10 record), going .500 at CenturyLink Field in 2017 and 2019. As we all know, 2020 hardly counts as the fans did not shuffle through the turnstiles at Lumen Field all season long thanks to the pandemic. On Friday, Lockett said that while he appreciates the adoration he receives in America, it’s “even more cool” to feel that same love overseas. On top of being successful, Seattle had several players with engaging personalities. The members of the Legion of Boom became household names. Defensive end Michael Bennett’s salacious sack dance and his humorous soundbites — along with his willingness to joyride a police bike after a playoff win — made him a likable figure.
The Seahawks went 6-2 in those games in 2015 and earned a fourth consecutive playoff berth. The #6 seeded Seahawks traveled to Minnesota to face the #3 seeded Vikings in a game that was the third coldest in NFL history as the two teams squared off in subzero temperatures. The field goal filled contest came down to a Vikings 27-yard field goal with 26 seconds left in the fourth quarter but the kick went wide-left giving the Seahawks the victory. After easily handling the Vikings in Minneapolis, the Seahawks traveled to Baltimore to take on the Ravens. Russell Wilson's streak of games with greater than a 135 passer rating continued as he again tied the franchise mark of five touchdown passes to go with zero interceptions.
The London trip gave the Seahawks a firsthand look at just how beloved the franchise is overseas. Länge wasn’t sure how interested people back home would be in such a group because American football wasn’t a big deal in Germany. After the Seahawks won the Super Bowl, Länge realized how many German Seahawks fans there actually were, many of them on social media. Länge relayed the idea of founding a fan club to a handful of people on Facebook. The minimum number of members to start an official club was 15. The club will have hundreds of members in attendance for Seattle’s Week 10 game Sunday at Allianz Arena, the home of FC Bayern Munich.
