NFL team season
The 1988 Seattle Seahawks season was the team's 13th season with the National Football League . The Seahawks won their first division title in the AFC West . They won the division with only a 9–7 record and finished with only a +10-point differential.
The team never went under .500 during the season and clinched the AFC West in Week 16 with a 43–37 shootout win over the Los Angeles Raiders . The Seahawks were the #3 seed in the AFC playoffs ; they lost 21–13 on the road in the Divisional round to the top-seeded Cincinnati Bengals on December 31.[1] [2] [3]
In late August, Ken Behring and partner Ken Hofmann purchased the team from the Nordstrom family for $80 million.[4] [5] [6]
