1979 Seattle Seahawks

The 1979 Seattle Seahawks season was the team's fourth season with the National Football League.

Regular season
For the second straight year, the Seahawks missed the playoffs by one game. Season highlights included sweeping the Oakland Raiders for the 2nd straight year, and defeating the Denver Broncos for the 1st time in team history in a comeback thriller 28-23 at the Kingdome, and winning the teams first appearance on MNF over the Atlanta Falcons, 31-28. The team started out 3-5, and had a 6-2 finish. A 37-21 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in week 14 knocked them out of playoff contention, but rebounded to end their season repeating 1978 at 9-7.
