2017 Seattle Seahawks season

The 2017 season was the Seattle Seahawks' 42nd in the National Football League (NFL) and their eighth under head coach Pete Carroll. The Seahawks tried to improve their 10–5–1 record from 2016. However, it did not happen because of injuries to key defensive players and poor offensive performances. After the Atlanta Falcons' Week 17 win over the Carolina Panthers, they were eliminated from playoff contention for the first time since 2011. They also failed to achieve a 10-win season for the first time since that same season. This was Russell Wilson's first season not making the playoffs.

With the loss, the Seahawks finished the season 9–7. This was the first season since 2011 the Seahawks failed to qualify for the playoffs. They also had a home record of 4–4, the worst of Russell Wilson's career. They would've still been eliminated even if they won, as the Falcons won their game.

This was also Bruce Arians' last game as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.
