The Seahawks are no strangers to tepid starts. The team began the 2014 season 3–3, then went on to win nine of its final 10 games of the season to win the NFC West. The following year, they were 2–4 through six weeks, but finished the season 10–6, earning one of the two wild card spots in the NFC. To open the 2016 season, Seattle squeaked out an ugly win over the Dolphins, then the following week dropped a game to a Rams team that would ultimately go 4–12. The Seahawks, though, went 10-5-1, winning their third NFC West crown in four years, and making the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season.
