The 2003 Seattle Seahawks season was the franchise's 28th season in the National Football League (NFL), the second season in Seahawks Stadium and the 5th under head coach Mike Holmgren. After going 31–33 in his first four years as head coach, the Seahawks went undefeated at home for the first time in franchise history and improved to 10–6, thus making the NFC playoffs as a wild card team, the first of fifteen playoff appearances over the next twenty seasons, and their first playoff berth since 1999. However, the team fell 33–27 to the Green Bay Packers in the opening round due to an interception returned for a touchdown by Green Bay's Al Harris in overtime. Following the season, Hall of Fame defensive tackle John Randle retired after 14 seasons.

Week Twelve: Seattle Seahawks at Baltimore Ravens – Game summary

- Date: November 23

- Referee: Tom White
- TV announcers (Fox): Curt Menefee, Tim Green, Brent Harris
- Gamecenter, Gamebook
Former Seahawks beat writer Clare Farnsworth called this game "one of the monumental collapses in Seahawks history." After going 29 minutes with just a pair of field goals and resultant 3–3 tie, the Seahawks scored 14 points to end the first half, then built a 41–24 lead in the fourth quarter. Ed Reed scored on a blocked punt, then Anthony Wright erupted with huge throws to Frank Sanders and Marcus Robinson and the score was now 41–38 Seahawks. In the final 33 seconds an administrative mistake on a Seahawks run and a withdrawn ineligible player penalty by referee Tom White stopped the clock and saved the Ravens from using their final timeout; they stopped a Matt Hasselbeck sneak on fourth down, then a pass interference penalty set up Matt Stover's tying field goal. In overtime ex-Raven Trent Dilfer had to come in for one play but the Seahawks had to punt and the Ravens won on another Stover field goal. It was Seattle's fourth straight road loss.

Seattle finally won a second road game as they clawed from down 17–14 with a Matt Hasselbeck touchdown and a field goal; Jeff Garcia's 4th down incompletion sealed a 24–17 Seahawks win. The game was the second of a pre-New Year's Saturday triple header; the Seahawks thus had to wait until Sunday before a win by Green Bay, a loss by Dallas, and a last-second loss by Minnesota sorted out the NFC playoff picture, putting Seattle as the conference's fifth seed.

NFC Wild Card Playoff: #5 Seattle Seahawks at #4 Green Bay Packers – Game summary
at Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin
- Date: January 4
- Game time: 1:04pm local
- Game weather: 20 °F (−7 °C), 74% humidity, wind 14 miles per hour (23 km/h)
- Game attendance: 71,457
- Referee: Bernie Kukar
- TV announcers (Fox): Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Cris Collinsworth, Pam Oliver & Chris Myers
- Gamecenter, Gamebook
With Nate Poole of the Cardinals in attendance (a result of knocking the Vikings out of the playoffs the week before) in a mild snowstorm, the Packers hosted the upstart Seahawks. Green Bay clawed to a 13–6 halftime lead, but in the third quarter Shawn Alexander touchdowns put the Seahawks up 20–13. Two Ahman Green touchdown rushes in the fourth quarter put the Packers back up 27–20. After the Seahawks tied the game, Brett Favre completed three straight passes for 41 yards in Green Bay's final drive, but Ryan Longwell misfired on the ensuing 47-yard field goal attempt. The Seahawks won the overtime coin toss; Matt Hasselbeck brashly stated to referee Bernie Kukar "We want the ball and we're gonna score!" The boast was picked up on stadium and FOX Sports television microphones and became a source of infamy; after completing two passes for twelve yards Hasselbeck targeted Alex Bannister but the ball was intercepted by Packers cornerback Al Harris at the Packers' 48-yard-line and he ran it back for a touchdown, ending the game with a 33–27 Packers victory and ending Seattle's season.
