NFC Playoff Picture: Seahawks sneak back up to No. 7 seed

Buy Seahawks Tickets

The Seahawks almost got bootlegged into another embarrassing loss against an inferior team, but thanks to Geno Smith’s first game-winning touchdown drive in Seattle they’re back in the playoff picture. Sunday’s win over the Rams put the Seahawks back in the No. 7 seed, knocking the Commanders out the last wild card spot.

The rest of the field hasn’t changed at all, though. The Eagles continued to roll by crushing the Titans. Meanwhile, the Vikings, 49ers, Buccaneers and Cowboys also won their respective matchups. The Giants and Commanders tied their game, complicating the clinching scenarios down the stretch. Here’s the complete updated NFC playoff picture going into Week 14.
