The 2008 Seattle Seahawks season, the tenth and final under head coach Mike Holmgren, was a year of transition and individual achievement despite a challenging 4-12 record. The season was highlighted by the continued excellence of Pro Bowl selections Walter Jones and Julian Peterson, as well as a promising rookie campaign from tight end John Carlson, who led the team in receiving yards. While the team's playoff streak came to an end, the year served as a celebration of Holmgren's historic coaching tenure in Seattle and featured resilient defensive performances, including a notable shutout victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
