Notes

• For the second year in a row, Seattle closes the regular season with the San Francisco 49ers. This year, however, the season finale takes place on the road.

• Seattle will once again host the Minnesota Vikings in one of their primetime games. Last year, Seattle won a 37-30 game on Monday Night Football at home in Week 13. In 2020, the Vikings again return to CenturyLink Field, but it will take place on Sunday Night Football in Week 5.

• Seattle will also be one of the first teams to face the Tom Brady-less New England Patriots. The longtime New England quarterback signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in free agency. Bill Belichick and company will come to Seattle for Sunday Night Football in Week 2.

• After a relatively late bye week in 2019, the Seahawks will have a much earlier one. Last season, Seattle’s off week was Week 11. In 2020, the team will have Week 6 off after playing the Vikings in primetime. When they return to action, they will travel to Arizona to take on the Cardinals in Seattle’s first divisional game of the year.
