2001 Seattle Seahawks season

American football team season August 2023 March 2026 Seattle Seahawks 2001 9–7 2nd AFC West Mike Holmgren Gil Haskell Steve Sidwell Mike Holmgren Paul Allen Husky Stadium Did not qualify OT Walter JonesDT John Randle OT Walter Jones (1st team) Seahawks seasons thumb|270px|Seahawks Stadium under construction, 2001 The 2001 Seattle Seahawks season was the franchise's 26th season in the National Football League (NFL), The second of two seasons the Seahawks played at Husky Stadium while Seahawks Stadium was being built and the third under head coach Mike Holmgren. They improved on their 6–10 record from 2000 and finished the season at 9–7. The Seahawks were in the playoff hunt until the last game of the season; the Baltimore Ravens' win over the Minnesota Vikings on the last Monday Night game of the year ended Seattle's post-season bid. The 2001 season was the last season for the Seahawks in the American Football Conference (AFC). Before the season, the Seahawks signed free agent quarterback Trent Dilfer, and traded for quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. Hasselbeck eventually won the starting position over Dilfer. The Seahawks also signed future Hall of Fame defensive tackle John Randle, who spent the last 11 seasons with the Minnesota Vikings and would make the Pro Bowl in his first season with the Seahawks. The season saw the emergence of the second year running back Shaun Alexander after Ricky Watters was injured for most of the season. Watters retired after the season ended. It was also the last season the Seahawks wore their traditional blue and green uniforms, and their last year in the AFC West as they returned to the NFC West in the 2002 NFL season.
