Seahawks’ 2015-16 schedule released, featuring five ‘primetime’ games
In this age of parity and the NFL being particularly and purposefully tough on defending conference champs, the Seahawks’ 2015 schedule isn’t that bad.
In fact, it’s almost favorable.
Sure, Seattle begins with two road games – at division rival St. Louis in the opener Sept. 13 then at Green Bay Sept. 20 in a Sunday-night showcase and rematch of January’s thrilling NFC title game that ended in overtime. But the positive flip side to that start? Seattle will have five of its final eight games at home.
That includes having three straight regular-season home games for the first time since 2011, and only the second time in 11 years.
Arizona, San Francisco and Pittsburgh are coming to CenturyLink Field on consecutive Sundays in mid-to-late November. That is immediately after Seattle’s bye in Week 9.
The Seahawks’ home opener is Sept. 27 against the Chicago Bears at CenturyLink Field.
Seattle has five primetime games, beginning with Green Bay in Week 2. The others: Detroit on Monday night in Week 4. Thursday at San Francisco in Week 7, home on Sunday against Arizona in Week 10 and at Baltimore on another Sunday night in Week 14.
