Ranking Seahawks’ Possible Opponents for Season Opener
Opening week for the Super Bowl champions is always something to circle on the calendar. The NFL typically gives them the first game of the regular season as a standalone time slot to raise the Super Bowl banner and have one last celebration before their title defense begins. The NFL schedule is set to be announced in the middle of next week, by May 14.
For the Seahawks, it will be a little quirky. They will play on Wednesday, September 9, not the usual Thursday slot. That is due to the Rams and 49ers facing off in a special opening week matchup. The NFL scheduled its first-ever regular-season game in Australia for Thursday, September 10 between two of Seattle’s biggest rivals.
Not only does that decision move Seattle to Wednesday night, but it also eliminates two possible opponents for their Week 1 matchup, which is yet to be announced.
