7-9 which, unlike the previous year, wasn't enough to get them into the playoffs. 2012 Russell Wilson’s rookie year During the offseason, the Seahawks changed their logo and uniforms. The team signed former Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Matt Flynn to replace departing quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, and also drafted rookie quarterback Russell Wilson as the 75th pick in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Though Flynn was signed with the intention of being the starter for the 2012 season, Wilson's preseason performances were impressive enough that coach Carroll decided to name Wilson the starter for Week 1 against the Cardinals.

Despite falling behind early in the first quarter by a score of 14–0, the Seahawks scored 24 unanswered points in the second and fourth quarters to win 24–14. It was their first road playoff win since 1983. They then travelled to Atlanta to play the Divisional playoff game against the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons. Once again,
