NFL team season
The 1977 Seattle Seahawks season was the team's second campaign in the National Football League (NFL). The 1977 season was the team's first in the AFC West (the conference swap was part of the NFL's expansion plan that saw both the Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers play every other team in the NFL in their first two seasons; the Seahawks would return to the NFC West in 2002). The Seahawks lost five of their first six games. On October 30, the Seahawks earned their second win of the season when quarterback Jim Zorn returned from an injury and threw four touchdown passes in a 56–17 win over the Buffalo Bills at the Kingdome. Two weeks later, the team recorded its first shutout, beating the New York Jets 17–0 in New York. The Seahawks would go on to finish with a 5–9 record, winning their final two games in the process; it was a three-game improvement from the inaugural season.
