The NFL announced the complete 2022 schedule on Thursday, and the Seattle Seahawks are officially set to kick off their 2022 season at home against the Denver Broncos for Monday Night Football at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN. Their first divisional game will be in Week 2 at the San Francisco 49ers.
The Seattle Seahawks were consistently inconsistent in 2021 and struggled to win games at home, going 3-5 at Lumen Field. Quarterback Russell Wilson went down with surgery to repair a broken finger on October 8 and Seattle never seemed to recover, even though they were a competitive group for the three games he missed. Losing eight of their first 11, however, doomed any chance Seattle had at reaching the playoffs. One the positive side, the Seahawks’ 7-10 record included a sweep of the San Francisco 49ers.
The offseason was one of big changes. Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos for a ton of draft picks and the organization also said goodbye to long-time defensive stalwart Bobby Wagner. The Wilson trade helped the Seahawks gain the top 10 draft pick they lost in the Jamal Adams trade two years prior. Seattle grabbed offensive tackle Charles Cross with the No. 9 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and added pass rusher Boye Mafe (No. 40) and running back Kenneth Walker III (No. 41) in the second round. There was a lot of talk about the Seahawks acquiring disgruntled quarterback Baker Mayfield in a trade, but so far it’s just been talk. 2022 looks like a rebuilding year.
