# 2011 Seattle Seahawks season

The 2011 season was the Seattle Seahawks' 36th in the National Football League (NFL), their 10th playing home games at CenturyLink Field (formerly known as Qwest Field) and their second under head coach Pete Carroll. It was the first season in over a decade in which the Seahawks came into the season with a new starting quarterback, as incumbent Matt Hasselbeck left for the Tennessee Titans in free agency. The Seahawks equaled their 7–9 record in 2010, but failed to defend their NFC West division title and missed the playoffs. This year was notable for the emergence of the Legion of Boom defensive group.
Until 2021, this was the last season the Seahawks finished with a losing record.
