The Seattle Seahawks entered the NFL as an expansion team in 1976 in the NFC. They have a relatively recent history in the league. After a rather dull start to their NFL career, their first bout with success came in the 2000s under Mike Holmgren. With players like Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander, the Seahawks reached the Super Bowl in 2005 but failed to attain the ultimate glory.

The Seahawks play their home games at the Lumen Field in Seattle. Their fans are collectively called the “12” and are among the best fanbases in the NFL. They twice set the Guinness World Record for the loudest in a sporting event, within a span of a few months.

They first registered 136.6 decibels during a game against the San Francisco 49ers. The fanbase later bettered that by registering 137.6 dB during a Monday Night Football game against the New Orleans Saints in 2013.

The Seahawks have won 11 division titles and are the only team to play in the AFC and the NFC Championship games. They have played in three Super Bowls, winning once. The Seahawks have enjoyed most of their success in the 21st century, as they have consistently been a good team. Their most successful period was the 2010s when they won their lone Super Bowl title and went to another the following year.

Since their last Super Bowl appearance in 2014, the Seahawks have gone through a host of personnel changes. Their once famous “Legion of Boom” defense broke up and their franchise, QB Russell Wilson, requested a trade for the Denver Broncos. However, the Seattle-based team still retain the services of their legendary coach, Pete Carroll, and made the playoffs last year.

This was a rare occasion as two former division rivals met in the Super Bowl. These two teams shared the same division from 1977 to 2001.

They led the game 36-0 before allowing the Broncos to score their first and only points of the game.
