Norm Johnson’s 40-yard field goal 3:01 into overtime gives the Seahawks a 13-10 win at San Diego. Seattle forces and recovers a pair of fumbles, the first with 48 seconds left in regulation and the second with 1:34 gone in overtime.

Derrick Fenner scores two touchdowns for the fourth time as Seattle defeats the Detroit Lions, 30-10, in the Kingdome, to finish at 9-7 after an 0-3 start. Fenner ends the season equaling team records for total touchdowns (15) and rushing touchdowns (14), totals that lead the AFC.

Seattle captured their fifth consecutive home playoff win with a 41-36 triumph over the defending World Champion New Orleans Saints. Matt Hasselbeck set a postseason club record with four TD passes. Marshawn Lynch electrified the crowd with what many are calling one of the greatest runs in NFL history with a 67-yard TD in which he broke as many as eight tackles. The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network registered activity generated from the stadium during the time of Lynch’s run.

Won at San Francisco, 24-17, for the first time since 1979 and secured first 10-win season since 1986. During the season, Hasselbeck became franchise’s all-time leading passer (84.1 rating) and set single-season record with 3,841 passing yards and tied for most completions 313.
