There are so many crazy stats over tge years regarding Seahawks, however I’ll start off with one that is not only crazy but shows that the refs were biased.

In the 2013 and 2014 seasons, opponents of the Seahawks while playing the Seahawks, were penalized the least during those Seahawks games of any team in the league. In 2013 each Seahawk opponent in the Seahawk games had the least amount of penalties call against them in these games and the same exact thing happened in the 2014 seasons. The chances of that happening are 1 in 1024. What this means is the refs while each of these individual teams were playing the Seahawks, were focused almost exclusively to see if the Seahawks were committing a penalty instead of looking at players on both teams.

Not only a crazy stat, but also pretty much proof that there was a bias those two years.

Who’s next?

The four pick-six game in 1984 against the Chiefs (45-0), all were returned for 50 yards or more. That Seahawks defense was 2nd only to Buddy Ryan's Bears 46 defense.

Here’s another. In the 1985 season Seattle went the entire season consecutively winning two games then losing two games throughout the season. I don’t think that will ever happen again.

Hawks actually went 1-1 against KC that year! One thing I remember from those AFC West days is it seemed the Chiefs always had an O-Line that bullied and pushed around the undersized Hawks D, but maybe I'm just remembering the Christian Okoye years, they were a "Nightmare" for the Hawks.

1980 the Seahawks were 4-12, but actually 4-4 on the road. 0-8 at home. Maybe not the craziest but it's what came to mind.

Starting in 2010, the Seahawks were part of a "Scorigami" for 9 straight seasons. This is a final score that had never happened before in NFL history. The best part? We won them all!

2010 - Seahawks over Cardinals 36-18
2011 - Seahawks over Giants 36-25
2012 - Seahawks over Cardinals 58-0
2013 - Seahawks over Broncos 43-8 (Super Bowl XLVIII)
2014 - Seahawks over Packers 36-16
2015 - Seahawks over Steelers 39-30
2016 - Seahawks over 49ers 37-18
2017 - Seahawks over Colts 46-18
2018 - Seahawks over 49ers 43-16

That is crazy.

Points
Two wins: 67
Two losses: 31

Two wins: 56
Two losses: 24

Two wins: 60
Two losses: 19

Two wins: 55
Two losses: 27

Also, in each of the "switches" we scored more points in the second win alone than in the next two games combined.

It's difficult to wrap my head around how little sense that all makes. Looks like the defense was rough the first six weeks, but consistently strong after that, while the offense just flipped a switch every two weeks.

I can’t find it, but I know there was some crazy consecutive streak for Shaun Alexander in having at least one rush of 10 yards each game for some huge stretch. I believe he beat Barry Sanders for the consecutive record.

It was the epitome of a Dave Krieg offense. When he was on fire he was hall-of-fame-amazing. When he sucked, he REALLY sucked.

That’s what I was going to go with. Only time I’ve ever been disappointed by a “normal” interception (i.e., the two picks they had in that game not returned for touchdowns).
