The 1985 Seattle Seahawks season was the team's tenth season with the National Football League (NFL). The team finished with an 8–8 record and a 3rd-place finish in the AFC West and missed the playoffs. The Seahawks 1985 season has the odd distinction of being the only team in NFL history to win two games, then lose two games, alternately, for the entire season.
