Mike Macdonald’s third season in charge of the Seahawks has already proved notable. Under his tutelage, Seattle has become one of the league’s most well-balanced teams. The Seahawks used a stifling defense and explosive offense to race to a joint-best record in the NFL this season.
Now, Seattle is looking for more. Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba spearheaded an offensive unit that ripped defenses apart, particularly in the passing game. They’ll look to rekindle those exploits in postseason play.
The Seahawks are three games away from football immortality. Based on their regular-season showing, there is reason to believe they can get there.
Here’s what you need to know about Seattle’s postseason schedule, including the identity of its next foe.

The Seahawks were the NFC's top side during the regular season, besting all but three sides en route to a glistening 14-3 record. Their win over the 49ers in Week 18 earned them the NFC West crown, as well as the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
At present, it's unclear who Seattle will play when it takes the field during the divisional round. Macdonald's side will be on the sidelines during wild-card weekend, having earned a bye week as a result of its regular-season exploits. The Seahawks will play the lowest-seeded side remaining at the conclusion of the wild-card round.
The date, time and channel for Seattle's divisional round matchup won't be known until the end of the first round. However, cord-cutters will be able to watch the Seahawks' game on Fubo.
