The 1976 Seattle Seahawks season was the team's first season with the National Football League.
 The 1976 season was the team's only one in the NFC until the league realigned divisions before the 2002 season, at which point the Seahawks were once again placed in the NFC West.
 The Seahawks obtained a future Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee from the Houston Oilers, who had drafted receiver Steve Largent in the 4th round in 1976.
 Largent would go on to be a first-ballot Hall-of-Fame wide receiver, making it to seven Pro Bowls and recording over 13,000 receiving yards in a 13-year career with the Seahawks.
Keith Millard (born March 18, 1962) is a former American football defensive tackle who played nine seasons for the Minnesota Vikings, the Green Bay Packers, the Seattle Seahawks and the Philadelphia Eagles from 1985 to 1993 in the National Football League.
Tom Johnson (born August 30, 1984) is an American football defensive tackle for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL).
 He attended Moss Point High School, where he played as a defensive tackle for two seasons.
 He played college football at Southern Miss but before that he played for two seasons of junior college football at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (MGCCC) in Perkinston, MS.
 Following his college career, Johnson went undrafted in the 2005 NFL Draft.
 He was signed by the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent.
 He spent the 2007 season with the Cologne Centurions of the NFL Europe and came back with the Colts for training camp in 2008.
 After being released, he turned to the Arena Football League (AFL), where he played the 2008 season with the Grand Rapids Rampage and the Philadelphia Soul.
 Johnson then headed north to play in the Canadian Football League (CFL), where he played two seasons for the Calgary Stampeders and was named CFL West Division All-Star in 2010.
 At the end of the 2010 CFL season, Johnson drew interest from several NFL teams, and decided to sign with the New Orleans Saints, where he played from 2011-13.
 In 2014, he became a free agent and joined the Minnesota Vikings on a one-year deal, and after exceeding expectations in his first season, he was re-signed to a three-year deal in 2015.
The 2004 Seattle Seahawks season was the team's 29th season with the National Football League.
 Seahawks Stadium was renamed Qwest Field when Qwest bought the naming rights on June 2, 2004.
 Finishing the season at 9-7, the Seahawks were unable to replicate the year they had prior.
 In the Wildcard round, the Seahawks met the defunct St. Louis Rams (now in Los Angeles), who swept them 2-0 in the regular season.
 Seattle looked to avenge on their two losses, but it was too late as Matt Hasselbeck's game-tying drive to Bobby Engram was incomplete, leading Hasselbeck to his knees and punch the turf in frustration.
 The Seahawks would go on to lose 27-20.
 The Rams, despite a mediocre 8-8 record, advanced to the Divisional Round the following week, only to lose to Michael Vick's Atlanta Falcons in a 47-17 blowout.
The 2003 Seattle Seahawks season was the team's 28th season with the National Football League.
 After going 31–33 in Mike Holmgren's first four years as head coach, the Seahawks clawed to 10–6 and made the NFC playoffs as a wild card team, the first of nine playoff appearances in twelve seasons.
 However, it was not to be as they fell 33-27 to the Green Bay Packers in the opening round thanks to an interception returned for a touchdown by Green Bay's Al Harris in overtime.
 Following the season, Hall of Fame defensive tackle John Randle retired.
The 2010 Seattle Seahawks season was the 35th season for the team in the National Football League.
 Jim Mora was fired on January 8, 2010, leading the Seahawks to come to an agreement with Pete Carroll soon after.
 This marked the ninth season that the Seahawks played their home games at Qwest Field.
 The team exceeded their win total from 2009 and won the NFC West with a 7–9 record.
 They became the first team in a full season to finish with a sub-.500 record and make the playoffs, a berth which was by virtue of winning the division.
 The 2010 Seahawks also became the first sub-.500 team to win a playoff game with their home win against the 11–5 New Orleans Saints, but had their season ended by the second-seeded Chicago Bears in the divisional round.
 The 2010 Seahawks currently have the lowest win percentage of any team to ever make the playoffs.
The 2001 Seattle Seahawks season was the team's 26th season with the National Football League, finishing the season at 9–7.
 The Seahawks were in the playoff hunt until the very last game of the season; Baltimore's win over Minnesota on the last Monday Night game of the year ended Seattle's post-season bid.
 The 2001 season was the final season for the Seahawks in the American Football Conference and the second and final season they played at Husky Stadium while Qwest Field was being built.

 They also signed rookie quarterback Jon Kitna.
 After a Week 1 injury to Friesz, Moon led the Seahawks improvement from 1996's 7–9 record to finish 8–8.
