Seahawks Miss Playoffs Despite 10-7 Record

The Seattle Seahawks concluded their 2024 season with a 30-25 victory over the Los Angeles Rams, finishing with a 10-7 record, yet they missed the playoffs for the second consecutive year under first-year coach Mike Macdonald. This marks a rare occurrence in NFL history, as they are the first team with double-digit wins to not qualify for the postseason since the league expanded to a 17-game schedule in 2021. Despite the disappointing outcome, optimism remains for the future, with their 2025 schedule now finalized, including matchups against both divisional rivals and teams from the NFC and AFC South. The Seahawks are expected to undergo some roster changes, with speculation about the futures of several players, including potential departures of fan favorites. Additionally, the Seahawks' playoff miss was influenced by a tiebreaker with the Rams, who claimed the NFC West title due to a stronger strength of victory. Overall, while the team's record suggests potential, they have struggled to convert that into consistent success in the playoffs.
