In a Seahawks season that so often seemed to defy convention maybe it only made sense that a team with one of the best homefield advantages in the NFL over the last two decades suddenly seemed to be better on the road.
The Seahawks won a franchise record seven road games this season, losing just one, compared to a 4-4 mark at CenturyLink Field, where they are 99-45 since it opened in 2002, better than any team in the NFL other than Green Bay (which is 101-41-2 at Lambeau Field in that span).
Seattle was one of just 12 teams in the NFL with better road records than home, and only one other team was three games better on the road than at home — Tampa Bay, which was 5-3 on the road (with one of the losses in overtime in Seattle) and 2-6 at home.
