The Seattle Seahawks will start the 1997 National Football League season with two home games.

The Seahawks meet the Jets in the Kingdome for the opener on Aug. 31, and the Denver Broncos come to town the following Sunday, the team said Wednesday as the NFL announced its upcoming schedule.

The only nationally televised game on Seattle’s schedule is the final on on Dec. 21, at home against the San Francisco 49ers.
