2007 Seattle Seahawks season

The 2007 Seattle Seahawks season was the franchise's 32nd season in the National Football League (NFL), sixth season in Qwest Field and the ninth under head coach Mike Holmgren. The team improved on their 9–7 record in 2006 and secured its fourth consecutive NFC West division title and its fifth consecutive playoff appearance. Also, the team set an NFL record for the fewest penalties since the NFL expanded to a 16-game season, with 59. In the playoffs, the Seahawks defeated the Washington Redskins in the wild card round, but fell to Holmgren's former team, the Green Bay Packers, in the divisional round.

The Seahawks host the Cincinnati Bengals in week 3, September 23

Pro Football Reference argued that the 2007 Seahawks gained the easiest schedule of any 21st century NFL team:^[1] they never opposed any team with a better record than 10–6 in any of their sixteen regular season encounters, and played only two opponents with that record. Divisional matchups had the NFC West playing the NFC South and the AFC North, whilst based on common positions from 2006 the Seahawks also opposed the Chicago Bears and the Philadelphia Eagles – both of whom fell to last in stronger divisions.

Punt returner Nate Burleson broke the Seahawks single season punt return yardage record this season with 658 yards.

2007 NFL draft

The 2007 NFL draft took place on April 28–29, with the Seahawks picking 55th overall (2nd round), selecting Cornerback Josh Wilson.

Hoping to build off of their home win over the Buccaneers, the Seahawks flew to the University of Phoenix Stadium for a Week 2 divisional duel with the Arizona Cardinals. Running back Shaun Alexander sported a cast on his left wrist, the result of a reported sprain suffered in the opening week. In the first quarter, Seattle trailed early as kicker Neil Rackers booted a 28-yard field goal for the only score of the period. In the second quarter, the Seahawks continued to trail as Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to tight end Leonard Pope, along with running back Edgerrin James getting a 17-yard touchdown run. Down 17–0, the Seahawks would respond just before halftime with quarterback Matt Hasselbeck completing a 24-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Nate Burleson. Arizona quickly moved into field goal range after the Seahawks touchdown, but Rackers hit the upright from 53 yards as time expired.

In the third quarter, Seattle would come all the way back to tie the game after running back Shaun Alexander finally broke loose for a 16-yard touchdown run and kicker Josh Brown booted a 28-yard field goal. In the fourth quarter, the Seahawks took the lead with Brown kicking another 28-yard field goal. However, Arizona rallied to tie the game on a Rackers 52-yard field goal. The Seahawks appeared to be driving for the go-ahead score when, inside field goal range in the final 2 minutes, an exchange from Hasselbeck to Alexander was fumbled and recovered by the Cardinals. Arizona then drove to the Seahawks' 25-yard line, where Rackers kicked a game-winning 42-yard field goal with 11 seconds left.

With the loss, the Seahawks fell to 1–1 on the young season, and had lost four straight divisional games.

Things got off to a quick start for the Seahawks as rookie Josh Wilson returned the opening kickoff 72 yards to the Bengals 24-yard line. Three plays later, Matt Hasselbeck hit wide receiver Bobby Engram for an 18-yard touchdown and a 7–0 Seahawks lead. The Bengals were quick to respond, as Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer hit six of his first seven pass attempts for 90 yards, culminating with an 18-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver T. J. Houshmandzadeh and evening the score at 7–7. After turnovers by each team, Cincinnati kicker Shayne Graham converted a 43-yard field goal attempt to give the Bengals a 10–7 lead 80 seconds into the second quarter. With 3:06 left in the first half, Seahawks defensive lineman Chartric Darby's heavy pressure on Palmer led to a Deon Grant interception at the Seattle 31-yard line. A few plays later, Hasselbeck hit Deion Branch with a 42-yard touchdown pass and a 14–10 Seahawks lead at halftime.

3:51 into the third quarter, Cincinnati linebacker Lemar Marshall sacked Hasselbeck in the endzone for a safety, cutting the lead to 14–12. Neither team scored again until there was 9:57 left in the game when Graham booted a 24-yard field goal to give Cincinnati its first lead of the second half at 15–14. On the next possession, Hasselbeck moved the Seahawks to the opposition's 6-yard line. Wide receiver Nate Burleson was unable to hold on to a pass in the endzone, and the Seahawks settled for a kicker Josh Brown field goal, reclaiming the lead at 17–15. Palmer then connected with Chad Johnson on two big pass plays late in the fourth quarter, followed by two runs by back-up running back Kenny Watson for a Bengals touchdown. Cincinnati opted to try a 2-point conversion, but cornerback Jordan Babineaux stopped Watson after a pitch from Palmer. The Bengals led 21–17 when the Seahawks got the ball with 2:42 left in the game. The Seahawks sputtered near mid-field, and faced 4th and 1. Running back Shaun Alexander broke through for 22 yards, and Hasselbeck hit Nate Burleson with a 22-yard touchdown pass on the next play for a 24–21 lead with 1:00 left. Seahawks linebacker Lance Laury forced a fumble during the ensuing kickoff, with free safety Deon Grant recovering for Seattle. Two plays later Alexander ran for a first down (and 100 yards on the game), cementing the Seahawks victory and improving their record to 2–1.
