SEATTLE — The Seahawks did their part Sunday to stay alive for the NFC playoffs, turning in one of their best defensive performances of the year to beat the New York Jets, 23-6.
But Seattle didn’t get all the help it needed elsewhere as Green Bay demolished Minnesota 41-17 at Lambeau Field to keep its late-season surge for a playoff spot very much alive.
And the combination of those two games means that while Seattle moved ahead of eliminated Washington in the NFC playoff ladder, the Seahawks are still on the outside looking in heading into the final weekend, eighth in the NFC — the top seven seeds make it.
