Seahawks Schedule: Prime Time, Thursday Nights, Tough Stretch

The Seattle Seahawks will play on Thursday in back-to-back weeks because of their first-ever home Thanksgiving game.
In this story:

The Seattle Seahawks will be no strangers to playing on Thursday or in prime time during the 2023 NFL Season. The Seahawks will play in three games under the lights and on Thursday twice in back-to-back weeks because of their first-ever home Thanksgiving game.

For the Thanksgiving nightcap of the three annual NFL games, the Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers in a rematch of the Wild Card game from last season. Then in Week 13, the Seahawks hit the road for Texas to play the Dallas Cowboys. 

Seattle's game against the Cowboys will be on Prime Video's Thursday Night Football. TNF will feature matchups between all 14 playoff teams from last season. This comes after a lackluster 2022 season slate of rough matchups.

The 2023 Amazon Prime matchups look much better. Sports Illustrated's Jimmy Traina reached out to TNF's lead voice, Al Michaels, for his take on the schedule.

“Love the way we come out of the gate," Michaels said. "Three ‘A’ grade games. Two Aaron Rodgers games. Baltimore-Cincinnati, another good one. League did us a solid.

“I was raring to go the minute I saw the whole slate. Already thinking of story lines for each game, of which there is no shortage.”

On one of the biggest shopping days of the year, Prime Video will make history with the presentation of the very first NFL Black Friday game on November 24, as the Jets host the Dolphins.

“Great idea," Michaels said. "Tens of millions recovering from the prior day’s tryptophan hangover will love it. Rodgers-Tua, a marquee matchup on any day.”

Wins football fans and for Prime Video. For the Seahawks, who have the sixth-best odds to win the NFC, there's hopefully two Thursday wins as well. The late-season matchup with the Niners begins a rough stretch of games for Seattle, which plays four straight games against playoff teams from 2022 (Niners, Cowboys, Niners, Eagles), starting on Thanksgiving.
