Regular season Divisional matchups this season have the AFC West playing the NFC Central. A 24-day players' strike reduced the 16-game season to 15. The games that were scheduled for the third week of the season were canceled, but the games for weeks 4–6 were played with replacement players. 85% of the veteran players did not cross picket lines during the strike, putting in question the integrity of the 1987 season results. The teams fielded by NFL clubs bore little resemblance to those the fans had come to recognize through previous seasons.http://www.nflpa.org/AboutUs/NFLPA_History.aspx#12 Official NFLPA History 2008-08-12 https://web.archive.org/web/20080516135638/http://www.nflpa.org/AboutUs/NFLPA_History.aspx#12 2008-05-16 dead Fans tagged the replacement player teams with mock names like "Seattle Sea-scabs."NFL crossed the line on Replacement Sunday, By Clare Farnsworth, Seattle Post-Intelligencer Reporter Week Date Opponent Result Record Game site Recap 1 September 13 at Denver Broncos L 17–40 0–1 Mile High Stadiumhttps://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198709130den.htm Seattle Seahawks at Denver Broncos - September 13th, 1987 Pro-Football-Reference.com November 2, 2025 Recap 2 September 20 Kansas City Chiefs W 43–14 1–1 Kingdomehttps://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198709200sea.htm Kansas City Chiefs at Seattle Seahawks - September 20th, 1987 Pro-Football-Reference.com November 2, 2025 Recap 3 September 27 at San Diego ChargersCancelled due to players' strike 4 October 4 Miami Dolphins W 24–20 2–1 Kingdomehttps://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198710040sea.htm Miami Dolphins at Seattle Seahawks - October 4th, 1987 Pro-Football-Reference.com November 2, 2025 Recap 5 October 11 Cincinnati Bengals L 10–17 2–2 Kingdomehttps://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198710110sea.htm Cincinnati Bengals at Seattle Seahawks - October 11th, 1987 Pro-Football-Reference.com November 2, 2025 Recap 6 October 18 at Detroit Lions W 37–14 3–2 Pontiac Silverdomehttps://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198710180det.htm Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions - October 18th, 1987 Pro-Football-Reference.com November 2, 2025 Recap 7 October 25 at Los Angeles Raiders W 35–13 4–2 Los Angeles Memorial Coliseumhttps://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198710250rai.htm Seattle Seahawks at Los Angeles Raiders - October 25th, 1987 Pro-Football-Reference.com November 2, 2025 Recap 8 November 1 Minnesota Vikings W 28–17 5–2 Kingdomehttps://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198711010sea.htm Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks - November 1st, 1987 Pro-Football-Reference.com November 2, 2025 Recap 9 November 9, 1987 at New York Jets L 14–30 5–3 Giants Stadiumhttps://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198711090nyj.htm Seattle Seahawks at New York Jets - November 9th, 1987 Pro-Football-Reference.com November 2, 2025 Recap 10 November 15 Green Bay Packers W 24–13 6–3 Kingdomehttps://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198711150sea.htm Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks - November 15th, 1987 Pro-Football-Reference.com November 2, 2025 Recap 11 November 22 San Diego Chargers W 34–3 7–3 Kingdomehttps://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198711220sea.htm San Diego Chargers at Seattle Seahawks - November 22nd, 1987 Pro-Football-Reference.com November 2, 2025 Recap 12 November 30, 1987 Los Angeles Raiders L 14–37 7–4 Kingdomehttps://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198711300sea.htm Los Angeles Raiders at Seattle Seahawks - November 30th, 1987 Pro-Football-Reference.com November 2, 2025 Recap 13 December 6 at Pittsburgh Steelers L 9–13 7–5 Three Rivers Stadiumhttps://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198712060pit.htm Seattle Seahawks at Pittsburgh Steelers - December 6th, 1987 Pro-Football-Reference.com November 2, 2025 Recap 14 December 13 Denver Broncos W 28–21 8–5 Kingdomehttps://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198712130sea.htm Denver Broncos at Seattle Seahawks - December 13th, 1987 Pro-Football-Reference.com November 2, 2025 Recap 15 December 20 at Chicago Bears W 34–21 9–5 Soldier Fieldhttps://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198712200chi.htm Seattle Seahawks at Chicago Bears - December 20th, 1987 Pro-Football-Reference.com November 2, 2025 Recap 16 December 27 at Kansas City Chiefs L 20–41 9–6 Arrowhead Stadiumhttps://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198712270kan.htm Seattle Seahawks at Kansas City Chiefs - December 27th, 1987 Pro-Football-Reference.com November 2, 2025 Recap Bold indicates division opponents.
