The Seahawks have one game left in the 2020 season and several players are within reach of team records.

The Seattle Seahawks are once again in the postseason in 2020. This marks the ninth time in the 11 seasons since head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider came to Seattle that the team will make the postseason. That is good stuff.

With a win in week 17 and a loss by both the Saints and Packers, the Seahawks would be the number one seed in the NFC. Seattle can do no worse than third and will host at least one playoff game.

But before we get to the postseason, several Seattle players could break franchise records for single-season yardage. Plus, Seattle needs 20 points to become the highest-scoring single-season team in Seahawks history (453 points).

Here is what else to watch for

Russell Wilson needs 189 yards passing to break his own record of 4,219 yards passing in a season. Wilson has already broken his own record for most touchdowns thrown in a season as he has 38 in 2020.

Hopefully, at least 6 of those yards Wilson throws will go to D.K. Metcalf because if that happens Metcalf will break Steve Largent’s single-season receiving record of 1,287 yards. (Largent has five of Seattle’s top eight signle-season receiving yards.) Also, while unlikely, if Metcalf catches four touchdown passes Sunday he will tie Doug Baldwin’s 14 TDs caught in a year.

Fellow receiver Tyler Lockett needs 7 catches to break the single-season mark for passes caught in a year with 95. Also, Lockett needs 36 yards to over 1,000 yards receiving for the second straight year. (If Lockett can get 7 catches but can’t get 36 yards then something weird has happened somewhere.) Metcalf would need 15 receptions Sunday to break the record.

If Metcalf and Lockett both finish with over 1,000 yards receiving they will become just the second Seattle duo to do so, the first being Joey Galloway and Brian Blades in 1995 when Rick Mirer (seriously) was throwing them the ball.
