The Seahawks in the red zone in their week 3 shutout of San Francisco, September 26

The 2004 Seattle Seahawks season was the franchise's 29th season in the National Football League (NFL), the third season in Qwest Field and the 6th under head coach Mike Holmgren. Finishing the season at 9–7, the Seahawks were unable to replicate the year they had prior.

This was the first of four consecutive NFC West titles for the Seahawks. In the Wild Card round, they faced off against the divisional rival St. Louis Rams, who swept them 2–0 in the regular season. Seattle looked to avenge their two losses, but it was too late as Matt Hasselbeck's game-tying drive to Bobby Engram was incomplete, leading Hasselbeck to his knees and punch the turf in frustration. The Seahawks lost 27–20. The Rams, despite a mediocre 8–8 record, advanced to the Divisional round the following week, only to lose to Michael Vick's Atlanta Falcons in a 47–17 blowout.

On October 20, 2004, the Seahawks traded a conditional 2005 7th round pick (condition failed) to the Oakland Raiders in exchange for Jerry Rice.
