Kingdome through the championship years of CenturyLink Field is that the Green Bay 65‐26 .714 12th Man has given that extra edge to the Seahawks when playing in the Seattle 62‐29 .681 Puget Sound. Atlanta 59‐33 .641 Seattle has the NFC’s second‐best home record since moving to the Minnesota 55‐35 .611 NFC in 2002 with a 62‐29 record, trailing Green Bay by three games for Chicago 57‐35 .620 most wins over that time span. Dallas 55‐37 .598 Down to the Wire Seattle has compiled a 22‐9 record since the final half of the 2011 season and in those nine losses, the margin of victory for the opponent has been 4.6 points (41 points). The Seahawks largest defeat since Week 10 (11/13/11) of 2011 was a seven‐point loss at San Francisco (10/18/12) last season in Week 7. Sold Out Seahawks With the Seahawks trip to Super Bowl XL and NFC West crowns from 2004‐07 and 2010, Seattle’s fans do not want to miss out on seeing their team in action. Since 2003, all but one game has sold out, giving the team 88 consecutive sell outs entering Week 8, including playoffs. Fans set the CenturyLink Field attendance record vs. San Francisco (68,338) in Week 2. The club renewed season tickets at a franchise‐record 98% and capped season ticket packages at 62,000. The remaining sin‐ gle‐game tickets for the regular season sold out the same day they went on sale which led to the remaining Bing Training Camp practices open to the public to also sell out later that day. In all, more than 37,000 fans attended the team’s open camp sessions. NFL Standings AFC East W L T PCT. AFC South W L T PCT. NFC East W L T PCT. NFC South W L T PCT.
