A tough beginning. A relatively soft-looking middle. A potentially tough ending.
The Seahawks’ 2017 schedule announced Thursday has Seattle opening on the road for the sixth time in seven years. They play the Packers at Lambeau Field in Green Bay for the third consecutive regular season.
At least it’s not December in Wisconsin this time around.
This is the second time these teams have met in a season opener. The other was Sept. 4, 2014, at CenturyLink Field when the Seahawks got the honor of opening the NFL season as the defending Super Bowl champions.
That remains the only time since 2010 — Pete Carroll and John Schneider’s first season as Seattle’s coach and general manager — that the Seahawks have started a season at home.
