The National Football League revealed the 2020 NFL regular-season schedule last week, assuming sports will be able to be played starting the fall. The Seahawks were dealt a fairly favorable schedule, which includes four prime-time games, three of which will be played at home.
However, it could be one of the more surprising earlier games that could prove the most challenging for Seattle this season. Mark Schofield of Touchdown Wire reasons the Dolphins matchup in Week 4 might be the thorn in the Seahawks’ side.
“Their schedule is not without some difficult games,” Schofield writes. “They’ll face some tough games in the division, and also trips east to play the Buffalo Bills and the Washington Redskins. But it is a trip east in early October that might actually be their toughest game of all: The Miami Dolphins.”

“Sure, it sounds a bit crazy, given the Dolphins’ record a season ago, but early fall games in South Beach are no joke, and the heat and humidity can still cause an impact on visitors,” Schofield continues. “Sure, the Dolphins might not be the toughest test on paper, but when you factor in the likely conditions, this might add up to the biggest challenge the Seahawks face in 2020.”
The Seahawks will travel more miles than any other team in the league in 2020 and their farthest trip of the season just might prove to be the most disappointing of the year.
