The season began with the team attempting to improve on their 13–3 record from 2005, repeat as National Football Conference (NFC) champions, and return to the Super Bowl. The team, while winning their NFC West division, only advanced as far as the Divisional round of the NFL playoffs, losing to the eventual NFC champion Chicago Bears in overtime.

Despite the Seahawks' offense failing to score a single point, Josh Brown had a big day, as he provided all of the Seahawks' points. He kicked a 20-yarder, a 50-yarder, and a 42-yard field goal as time expired to win the game. Meanwhile, the defense limited the Lions to just two field goals. With the win, the Seahawks started out the season at 1–0. Deion Branch trade On September 11, the Seahawks announced they had acquired wide receiver Deion Branch in a trade with the New England Patriots. In return, they gave their first-round pick in the 2007 NFL draft to the Patriots.https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=2583149 Seahawks deal first-round pick to Pats for Branch ESPN.com September 11, 2006 June 20, 2025 Week 2: vs. Arizona Cardinals Seattle Seahawks 2006 2;text-align:center; autocollapse Week Two: Seattle Seahawks vs. Arizona Cardinals – Game summary September 17 1:06pm local Cardinals 0 0 3 7 Seahawks 14 0 0 7 Qwest Field, Seattle 67,470 overcast, 61 °F °C, 57% humidity, wind SSE 7 mph km/h Larry Nemmers Fox Dick Stockton, Daryl Johnston, Tony Siragusa Gamecenter, Gamebook First quarter SEA – Shaun Alexander 2-yard run (Josh Brown kick), 10:43.

Unlike Game 1, Seattle's offense got off to a strong start, as running back Shaun Alexander got a 2-yard touchdown run, while quarterback Matt Hasselbeck completed a 49-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Darrell Jackson. That's how the rest of the first half would end up. In the third quarter, the score of the period was Arizona kicker Neil Rackers completed a 43-yard field goal. In the fourth quarter, the Seahawks got a 1-yard touchdown run by fullback Mack Strong. The Cardinals would get a touchdown, which would come in the form of a 40-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Kurt Warner to wide receiver Bryant Johnson, but fortunately, Seattle would maintain the lead for the win. The Seahawks would extend their home winning streak to 11 straight games and improved to 2–0.

Prior to the game the Giants had complained to the NFL about the level of crowd noise at Qwest Field and suggested that some of the noise was artificial. Last year the Giants were called for 11 false start penalties in a 24–21 overtime loss at Seattle. The complaint became public and the predictable result was a boisterous Seattle crowd and inspired play from the team. Deion Branch saw his first action with the Seahawks as he caught two passes for 23 yards and ran once for eight yards. One day after the game, the Seahawks reported that MVP running back Shaun Alexander had a cracked bone in his foot that would sideline him for a few weeks.https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=2602571 Seahawks' Alexander out indefinitely with foot fracture ESPN.com September 25, 2006 June 20, 2025 With the win the Seahawks improved to 3–0 and increased their home game streak to 12 games.

The Seahawks took the lead on an early field goal, but momentum quickly shifted to the hometown Bears. Two Matt Hasselbeck interceptions midway through the second quarter led to 10 Chicago points and a 20–6 halftime lead. Any hopes for a comeback were erased after the Bears scored a touchdown on their first possession of the second half for a 27–6 lead. The Seahawks running attack was diminished without the injured Shaun Alexander. Near constant pressure on Hasselbeck, including 5 sacks, thwarted the effectiveness of the 4 receiver offense that had confused the Giants the week before. The team flight back to Seattle was diverted to South Dakota for a "medical emergency", which turned out to be defensive consultant Ray Rhodes feeling ill after the game. He was checked out at a Rapid City, South Dakota hospital and released.https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=2610895 Rhodes' health scare causes Seahawks to land plane ESPN.com October 2, 2006 June 20, 2025 With the loss, the Seahawks went into their bye week at 3–1.

Trailing 21–7, Mike Holmgren blistered the paint in the locker room and a different Seahawks team took the field in the second half. Seattle scored 20 unanswered points to lead 27–21 and looked to have put the game away after a Lofa Tatupu interception late in the game. However, running back Maurice Morris fumbled on the Rams 7-yard line with 2:48 left. A few plays later Rams quarterback Marc Bulger hit Torry Holt with a 67-yard touchdown pass to give the Rams a 28–27 lead with 1:38 remaining. Matt Hasselbeck engineered a final drive from the Seahawks' 17-yard line and led the team to the Rams' 31-yard line. A premature celebration erupted on the Rams' sideline as the Seahawks were called for an illegal formation after Hasselbeck spiked the ball to stop the clock with four seconds left in the game. The Rams believed the Seahawks had committed a false start which would have resulted in a ten-second runoff on the clock that would have ended the game. Instead, the Seahawks were penalized five yards, pushing them back to the 36-yard line. Despite the setback, Josh Brown still kicked a 54-yard field goal to win the game, 30–28. Brown's kick was tied for the second longest game-winning field goal in NFL history, behind Tom Dempsey's 63-yard effort in 1970. (It would be supplanted a week later by Tampa Bay kicker Matt Bryant's 62-yard field goal in a win over the Philadelphia Eagles.) Brown also became the first player in NFL history to make 3 field goals of 49 yards or longer in the same quarter. In the third quarter, Brown achieved the equally rare feat of hitting both uprights on an unsuccessful 34-yard field goal attempt. With the win, the Seahawks improved to 4–1.

An early 72-yard touchdown reception by Darrell Jackson staked the Seahawks to a 7–3 lead, but the Vikings scored a touchdown of their own in the second quarter and the teams went to the half tied at 10. On the Seahawks' first possession of the third quarter, Vikings linebacker E.J. Henderson rolled onto Hasselbeck's right leg and sent the quarterbacl to the turf well after he had released the ball. Hasselbeck left the field with the assistance of trainers, and did not return. Seneca Wallace took over at quarterback, completing 14 of 25 passes with two interceptions and a fumble in his own endzone. The Seahawks gave up a 15-yard touchdown pass from running back Mewelde Moore to tight end Jermaine Wiggins to trail 17–10 as Hasselbeck was walking to the locker room. They looked to have weathered the storm and recaptured momentum when punter Ryan Plackemeier pinned the Vikings on their own 5-yard line. The next play resulted in the Vikings' longest ever touchdown play, a 95-yard romp by Chester Taylor that brought back memories of Bo and the Boz. Suddenly the deficit was 14 points. The Seahawks drove for a field goal to cut the lead to 11, but a failure to convert a 4th and 1 play on the next drive ended any hope of pulling out the game. The loss ended the Seahawks' 12-game winning streak at home. An MRI scan on Hasselbeck's knee revealed a second degree sprain and he missed 4 games.https://www.espn.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=2635484 Hasselbeck injury latest blow to Seahawks ESPN.com Clayton John October 22, 2006 June 20, 2025 With the loss, the Seahawks fell to 4–2 and their 12-game winning streak at home was snapped.

Seneca Wallace made his first career start in a stadium where the Seahawks have won only twice in their last 20 visits. The story of the game was not the Seahawks' wounded offense, but rather the failure of the supposedly healthy defense. The Chiefs controlled the ball for over 42 minutes of the contest, piled up 499 total net yards, and were able to sustain drives all afternoon. The Seahawks defense was only able to force one Chiefs punt, early in the fourth quarter. Despite being dominated in time of possession and yardage, the Seahawks found themselves leading the game 28–27 after a Kelly Herndon 61-yard touchdown return of a fumbled field goal attempt and a 49-yard touchdown grab by Darrell Jackson with just over 6 minutes remaining. The Chiefs responded as they had all game, with an 8-play, 80-yard drive capped off by Larry Johnson's fourth touchdown of the game. A successful 2-point conversion made the score 35–28. A last drive by the Seahawks ended when Seneca Wallace completed a short sideline pass to fullback Mack Strong for 8 yards on 4th down and 15 from the Chiefs 46-yard line. With the loss, the Seahawks fell to 4–3.

The Raiders won the coin toss. It would be the last time fortune smiled on them on a windy and wet night at Qwest Field. In the first quarter, quarterback Seneca Wallace completed a 22-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Deion Branch. Later in the first quarter, kicker Josh Brown nailed a 20-yard field goal. In the second quarter, Brown would get a 25-yard field goal for the only score of the quarter. After a scoreless third quarter, Brown would put the game away with another 20-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. While the offense did their job, Seattle's defense had a huge night, sacking Raiders quarterback Andrew Walter nine times, including three consecutive times on the same set of downs. With their 16–0 victory over the Raiders, and a 42–0 appearance at the Eagles in 2005, dubbed the "Monday Night Massacre" by NFL Films, the Seahawks became the first team to post consecutive shutouts on Monday Night Football. Poetically, the Raiders became the first team to lose in back-to-back MNF shutouts, having lost 27–0 to the San Diego Chargers earlier in 2006. With the win, the Seahawks improved to 5–3.

The Seahawks drove the ball easily on their first possession, moving to the Rams 1-yard line. After a false start penalty, Seneca Wallace was sacked and fumbled, and the Rams returned the ball 89 yards for a touchdown. The Seahawks drove down the field again, this time maintaining possession to the endzone as Darrell Jackson caught a 3-yard touchdown pass. The lead would change hands 6 more times in the game. With the Rams holding a 16–14 lead in the fourth quarter, Rams head coach Scott Linehan chose to challenge a call, nullifying a field goal. The challenge was upheld, but the Rams still faced a fourth down play. Instead of kicking another field goal to increase the lead, Linehan chose to go for a first down. The raucous Qwest Field rose to the occasion, and Rams fullback Paul Smith could not hear the play call. Rather than run a pass route he stayed in the backfield to block, and Rams quarterback Marc Bulger's pass to double covered tight end Klopfenstein fell incomplete. Nate Burleson returned a punt 90 yards for a touchdown and a 21–16 lead. After a Rams touchdown with 2:37 remaining, a series of penalties against St. Louis changed momentum. A holding penalty nullified a successful 2 point conversion. The second attempt failed. A 15-yard personal foul was assessed on the subsequent kickoff, and Josh Scobey returned the ball to the Rams 49-yard line. With a short field and time on the clock, Seneca Wallace and Maurice Morris drove the Seahawks to the Rams 20-yard line, where Josh Brown kicked a game-winning field goal with 9 seconds remaining. Brown kicked game-winning field goals in both games against the Rams that year. With their 4th straight win over the Rams, the Seahawks improved to 6–3.

Buoyed by the return of Shaun Alexander to the starting line-up, and having Matt Hasselbeck dressed as the 3rd quarterback, the Seahawks expected to take a stranglehold on the NFC West. Instead, they played a flat first half and fell behind by 20 points – 13 of those coming after 3 turnovers. The Seahawks also allowed the 49ers to gain 163 rushing yards in the first half, whereas Alexander had only 9 yards on 7 carries. He would finish with 37 yards on 17 carries. A different Hawks team appeared in the second half, scoring quickly on a 38-yard touchdown reception by Deion Branch. The Seahawks added another long touchdown reception by Darrell Jackson with 6:40 remaining in the game, but could not get any closer. A key sequence in the last 2 minutes of the game saw Alexander stopped for a loss on 4th and 1. Following the change of possession, 49ers running back Frank Gore fumbled, recovered by Grant Wistrom. Given a second life, the Seahawks allowed a 9-yard loss on a sack before Seneca Wallace threw an interception. Instead of owning a 3-game lead in the division, the Seahawks only lead the surprising 49ers by a game. The teams would meet again on December 14 at Qwest Field. With the loss, the Seahawks fell to 6–4.

In a setting that looked more like Green Bay's home field, the Seahawks started poorly on Monday Night Football''. Matt Hasselbeck returned after missing 4 games and promptly turned the ball over four times in the first half. Shaun Alexander picked up the slack for the rusty Hasselbeck, rushing a team record 40 times for 201 yards on the evening. It was a return to MVP form for Alexander, who was still running on a cracked foot injured in the first week of the season. Josh Brown kicked four field goals in the first half to keep Seattle in the game, and they trailed only 14–12 at the half. All of Green Bay's points came off turnovers, the last 7 when a Hasselbeck fumble was returned for a touchdown. The snow stopped falling at halftime. Green Bay drove for a touchdown on their first possession of the second half to go up 21–12. After both teams had drives stall and were forced to punt, Hasselbeck led the Seahawks on a nine-play, 62-yard drive capped by a 23-yard pass to D. J. Hackett. Seattle drove again late in the third quarter, led by Alexander. On the second play of the fourth quarter, Hasselbeck found Darrell Jackson for a 4-yard touchdown toss. A 2-point conversion gave the Seahawks a 27–21 lead. After a Green Bay field goal cut the Seahawks lead to 3 points, Hasselbeck threw his third touchdown to Jerramy Stevens to cap an 11-play, 51-yard drive. The Seahawks defense crushed the final three Green Bay drives with two interceptions and a fumble recovery to finish with 4 takeaways on the night. With the win, the Seahawks improved to 7–4.

On a frigid Sunday Night game, these Seahawks were able to accomplish what few of their predecessors managed – to come out of Denver with a win. Carrying on their recent troubling tendency of weak first half performances, the Seahawks fell behind 13–7 to the Broncos, who were led by first-time starter Jay Cutler. The Seahawks managed only 2 first downs and 67 yards of total offense in the first half, but remained in the game thanks to Darryl Tapp's 25-yard return of an intercepted Cutler pass for a touchdown. In the second half, the teams traded punts and one turnover apiece until Seattle got the ball on its own 39-yard line with 9:42 left in the game. Two long pass completions from Matt Hasselbeck to Darrell Jackson put the Seahawks on the Broncos one-yard line. Shaun Alexander quickly took the ball into the endzone for a 14–13 Seahawks lead. The Broncos fumbled the ensuing kickoff, and Joe Tafoya recovered. Assisted by a holding penalty on third down, the Seahawks moved the ball into range for Josh Brown to kick a 44-yard field goal. The Broncos held onto the following kickoff, but on their first play Cutler threw an interception to Jordan Babineaux for Seattle's 9th takeaway in the past two games. The Seahawks again had to settle for a Brown 23-yard field goal for a 20–13 lead with 3:01 remaining, keeping Denver in the game. The failure to score a touchdown proved costly, as Cutler connected with wide receiver Brandon Marshall on a 71-yard pass and run play for a game tying touchdown, assisted by some poor tackling by Seattle. The Seahawks started the last drive at their own 14-yard line with 2:31 remaining. A key third down reception by Nate Burleson kept the drive alive, and Hasselbeck led the team down to the Broncos 32-yard line with 10 seconds remaining. Josh Brown came on to kick a game-winning, 50-yard field goal, his fourth such kick of the season to tie an NFL record. With the win the Seahawks' lead in the NFC West increased to three games over the 49ers and Rams as they improved to 8–4.

On a rainy, windy night, Seattle started off strong with running back Shaun Alexander getting a three-yard touchdown run for the only score of the first quarter. The 49ers offense was almost nonexistent in the first half, as seven of San Francisco's first eight drives ended in three-and-outs. However, the Seahawks still allowed a 39-yard field goal by 49ers kicker Joe Nedney near the end of the half. After a scoreless third quarter, Seattle's defense started giving way. 49ers quarterback Alex Smith completed an 8-yard touchdown pass to tight end Vernon Davis. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Davis combined with an excellent kickoff return by Nate Burleson gave Seattle prime field position at the San Francisco 33-yard line. However, the Seahawks failed to convert on a fourth down play on the first series from scrimmage, and turned the ball over on downs. Smith would take advantage by driving his team downfield and completing a 20-yard touchdown pass to running back Frank Gore. San Francisco delivered the final blow with Smith running for an 18-yard touchdown on a naked bootleg with no defenders near him. The Seahawks got a 22-yard touchdown from quarterback Matt Hasselbeck to tight end Jerramy Stevens with under two minutes left, but it wouldn't be enough as Seattle would get swept by the 49ers. With the loss, the Seahawks fell to 8–6.

In the fourth quarter, the Seahawks finally took the lead with Alexander getting a 9-yard touchdown run, along with kicker Josh Brown's 33-yard field goal. However, the Chargers wrapped up the game with Rivers and Jackson hooking up again on a 37-yard touchdown pass. With the loss, Seattle fell to 8–7.

With the victory, the Seahawks improved their overall record to 10–7 and advanced to the Divisional Round to take on the Chicago Bears.
