Wide Receiver Steve Largent becomes the first Seahawks player to be elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Largent was elected in his first year of eligibility. He played his entire NFL career with Seattle from 1976-89, and retired in possession of six NFL receiving marks, including most receptions (819), yards (13,089), touchdowns (100), and consecutive games with a reception (177). Largent’s presenter for induction is Seahawks’ Vice President Gary Wright.

Seattle finished the season with a perfect home record with a 20-13 victory over St. Louis. In that game, Russell Wilson tied Peyton Manning’s NFL  rookie record with his 26th TD pass.

Seattle misses a last play field goal in 17-16 loss at the Detroit Lions. Lamar Smith rushes for a career high 148 yards in his first career start. Seahawks also lose quarterback John Friesz for remainder of the season with a broken leg.

The Seahawks and Tribune Television Northwest (KCPQ channel 13 and FOX affiliate in Seattle) reach a multi-year agreement to be the flagship television partner of the Seahawks. Q13 will broadcast all preseason game broadcasts, pre and postgame shows, and other team-related content.
