The Seattle Seahawks lost a heartbreaker to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, falling 27-24 in a nailbiter. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams defeated the New York Jets 19-9 in Week 16. The Rams now hold a tangible advantage in the NFC West, improving their overall record to 9-6 while the Seahawks fell to 8-7. Sean McVay’s Hollywood-based club also currently holds the head-to-head advantage, meaning Seattle will need to rely on outside help to make the postseason for a third consecutive season.
