The Seattle Seahawks’ confusing day continues.
They defeated the Los Angeles Rams, 19-16, on Sunday. The Seahawks’ victory eliminated the Detroit Lions from the NFC Wild-Card race.
That’s where the confusion comes into play.
After Seattle ended Detroit’s hopes for a postseason berth, it needs the Lions to defeat the Packers in Game 272 of the regular season.
If the Lions defeat the Packers, the final NFC Wild-Card spot would go to the Seahawks.
Got that?

The Seahawks-Rams game had a bewildering finish as Myers doinked a field goal off the upright to send the game into overtime.
The Seahawks were THIS close to a win and the Lions were THIS close to having their season end.

Seattle’s Quandre Diggs picked off Baker Mayfield in overtime and the Seahawks drove 50 yards in 8 plays before Myers redeemed himself from 32 yards.
.@QDiggs6 came out of nowhere for the pick 😮
