Game summaries
Preseason
Week P1: vs. Buffalo Bills
Week P2: at San Francisco 49ers
Week P3: vs. Arizona Cardinals
Week P4: at Indianapolis Colts
Regular season
Week 1: vs. Detroit Lions
Mike Holmgren’s debut as Seahawks head coach was a 28-20 loss to a Detroit Lions team playing without now-retired Barry Sanders and which had beaten him as Packers coach the year before at The Silverdome. Despite scoring two touchdowns in the final ten minutes Jon Kitna failed on a fourth down attempt in the final minute.
Week 2: at Chicago Bears
Glenn Foley started and threw two touchdowns in the final quarter erasing a 13-0 Bears lead. The Bears drove down in the final 2:42 but Brian Gowins’ missed 48-yard kick secured Holmgren’s first win as Seahawks coach (and third straight win over the Bears).
Week 3: at Pittsburgh Steelers
The Seahawks finished their two-game road trip by intercepting Kordell Stewart three times (ex-Niner Merton Hanks scored on the first pick not three minutes in) and Mike Tomczak twice while kicker Todd Peterson booted five field goals and running back John Edward Rogers caught a Steelers punt at his six and scored, in a 29-10 romp.
Week 4: vs. Oakland Raiders
Rich Gannon led three touchdown drives for the Raiders in the game’s first thirty-five minutes; in that span Jon Kitna had a touchdown to Derrick Mayes (a two-point try to Sean Dawkins failed), a field goal drive and an interception, but in a roughly eleven minute span down 21-9 Kitna threw another touchdown (to Reggie Brown) and two successful field goals. The Raiders got the ball back with forty-five seconds left but a 61-yard kick missed for the 22-21 Seahawks win.
Week 6: at San Diego Chargers
The Seahawks fell 13-10 at Jack Murphy Stadium on a missed field goal attempt and two punts in the fourth quarter. Despite interceptions on four straight possessions encompassing the third quarter and part of the fourth Erik Kramer led the Chargers to two field goals, the game winner on the final play.
Week 7: vs. Buffalo Bills
Jon Kitna’s two touchdowns and three Todd Peterson field goals put the Seahawks ahead of the Bills 23-0, enough to withstand two Doug Flutie touchdowns; on Buffalo’s last two possessions Flutie was sacked, fumbling the ball once.
Week 8: at Green Bay Packers
Once fellow members of Bill Walsh’s staff on the Forty-Niners, Mike Holmgren faced his former defensive coordinator and now successor as Packers head coach Ray Rhodes. Shawn Springs’ blocked punt touchdown and Corey Bradford’s 74-yard catch opened a 7-7 game that then became a Seahawks rout as Brett Favre was intercepted four times and benched for Matt Hasselbeck. The 27-7 win left the Seahawks 5-2. Entering 2023 this was the last time the Seahawks defeated the Packers at Lambeau Field.[6]
Week 9: vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Week 10: vs. Denver Broncos
Week 11: at Kansas City Chiefs
Week 12: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Seahawks season started turning for the worse in a 16-3 loss to the Buccaneers. Jon Kitna had a dismal day with five interceptions and just 197 yards.
Week 13: at Oakland Raiders
The Raiders clawed to a 17-0 lead and Seattle’s comeback attempt resulted in three touchdowns, two turnovers, and a 30-21 loss
Week 14: vs. San Diego Chargers
After the Seahawks clawed out a 16-13 lead the Chargers booted two additional field goals and the Seahawks fumbled once and missed three kicks of their own on their final four possessions; they thus had squandered an 8-2 start and at 8-5 were tied with Kansas City atop the AFC West.
Week 15 at Denver Broncos
The wildest game of the year (66 combined points a season high for both teams) occurred at Mile High Stadium. It was mostly a battle of Jason Elam and Todd Peterson field goals until the final four minutes saw the Seahawks outscore the Broncos 13-7; Seattle’s final ten points came in the final 62 seconds on a touchdown, onside kick, and field goal. In overtime Jon Kitna was strip sacked and Glenn Cadrez scored; the 36-30 loss now left the Seahawks’ playoff hopes in the air st 8-6.
Week 16: vs. Kansas City Chiefs
