The Seattle Seahawks play host to the visiting Dallas Cowboys at Lumen Field tonight. Of course, this means the most beloved Seattle pregame ritual – raising the 12th Man Flag – will once again happen.
Tonight, the distinct honor of raising the flag will go to former Seahawks quarterback Seneca Wallace.

Originally a 4th round pick by Seattle in the 2003 NFL draft, Wallace remained in the Emerald City in a primary backup role until 2009. In his limited action as a relief starter, Wallace compiled a 6-16 record, but played on plenty of mediocre-to-bad Seahawks team.
His best season was in 2008 where he threw for 11 touchdowns against only three interceptions. Seattle finished that season 4-12 but Wallace won three of those games in his eight starts.
Wallace was a mainstay on the Seahawks roster for several years, including being on the 2005 Super Bowl team. We at Seahawks Wire proudly say “welcome back!”
