Seahawks Aim for Best Start Since 2019 Against Vikings
The Seattle Seahawks find themselves on the brink of a significant achievement as they prepare to take on the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. With a chance to improve their record to 9-3, the Seahawks are poised to secure their best win percentage through 13 weeks since the 2019 season.
Recent History and Changes
Since 2012, the Seahawks have experienced only one notably disappointing season, finishing with a 7-10 record in 2021. That season marked a turning point for the franchise, culminating in the trade of long-time quarterback Russell Wilson and the eventual departure of head coach Pete Carroll in 2023. Despite these changes, the franchise has a storied history of success.
The last time the Seahawks were viewed as serious Super Bowl contenders was during the 2019 and 2020 seasons. In 2019, they finished with an impressive 11-5 record, while the following year they upped their performance to 12-4. However, the Seahawks’ momentum in 2019 was thwarted as they started strong at 10-2, only to falter and lose three of their final four games.
Opportunity for Redemption
Now, as they approach their matchup against the Vikings, the Seahawks have a crucial opportunity to not only enhance their record but also to rewrite a chapter of their recent history. A victory would not only highlight their resurgence but also reflect their potential as a competitive force in the league this season.
The stakes are high, and the Seahawks are keenly aware of the importance of this game. With a strong showing, they can solidify their position as one of the top contenders in the NFC, reigniting memories of their past successes and potential Super Bowl aspirations.
As the season progresses, every game becomes increasingly pivotal, and the Seahawks are ready to seize the moment against the Vikings.
