The 1988 Seattle Seahawks season was the team's 13th season with the National Football League. The Seahawks won its first Division title in the AFC West for the first time in franchise history. Despite only winning the division with a 9-7 record, and only finishing with a +10 point differential, the Seahawks were still one of the most successful teams in the NFL in 1988. The team never went under .500 during the season, and clinched the AFC West in week 17 with a 43-37 shootout win over the Los Angeles Raiders with some help from their win the previous week against the Broncos, who finished second in the AFC West. The Seahawks were awarded the #3 seed in the AFC Playoffs. In the playoffs, they lost, 21-13 in Cincinnati to the Bengals.
