Seattle Seahawks’ home and away opponents for 2017

Yes, they did get a victory, beating the San Francisco 49ers 25-23, finishing with 10 wins (10-5-1) for the fifth straight year, securing the third seed in the NFC.

Those two teams, the Packers and the Lions play this evening to decide who wins the NFC North division and claim at least one spot for the playoffs, pending what happens with the Redskins.

The 2017 National Football League schedule won’t be released until late Spring, but the Falcons’ home and away opponents for next season are already set.

The 2016 regular season had both reward and regret.

He finished the first half 12-of-15 for 156 passing yards. But the usual second half starvation was lurking. Sunday during the fourth quarter, with reserves playing at San Francisco, Thomas posted: “So this game has turned into a preseason game”.

It turned out to be the game’s final score. Draughn supplied 109 of San Francisco’s 253 yards of offense.

The Seahawks and Lions have not played each other yet this season, but the two did square off in the 2015 regular season. The average total points scored in those four games was just 25!

The 49ers got off to strong start in this game, taking a 14-3 lead in the second quarter.

BOYKIN STEPS UP: With Wilson out, the Seahawks turned the game over to Trevone Boykin.

Russell Wilson threw for 258 yards and a touchdown Sunday; his touchdown went to Luke Willson.

Seattle continued to attack San Francisco’s secondary with downfield strikes. Doug Baldwin had 44 yards in two receptions while Paul Richardson added 40 yards.

Jimmy Graham got in on the act by catching a 42-yard pass on a jump-ball from Wilson. Rawls gained just 14 yards on eight carries. They did not relinquish their lead the rest of the way. Against Arizona, Stephen Hauschka missed one PAT try and had a field-goal attempt blocked while one of Ryan’s punts was deflected after a high snap from Frese and a breakdown in protection. It’s possible that the Seahawks and Packers could still meet up in the NFC Championship Game if the teams each win their respective side of the bracket.

With the game in Detroit going final, the NFC playoff picture is set.

With an uncomfortable meeting between the 49ers’ head coach and owner looming after Sunday’s game, the team’s performance Sunday spoke volumes. Kelly’s lone season in San Francisco will perhaps be remembered best for these fast starts.

While clearly an offensive-minded coach, lineman Quinton Dial maintained Kelly also had the respect of the defensive players and made a point of getting to know them personally. The Niners had a shot at the No. 1 pick if Cleveland won, but the Browns lost 27-24 in overtime at Pittsburgh.

The Cardinals have fallen off dramatically and might need to move on from Carson Palmer at quarterback, and the Rams are just as hapless and in flux as the 49ers.
