The Seahawks are truly up against it heading into Week 16 of the 2022 NFL season. With three games left to play, their chances of making the playoffs have dwindled to a long-shot. According to the New York Times’ playoff simulator, Seattle only has a 27% chance of making the postseason.
Thursday night’s loss to the 49ers made the path a difficult one. That failure clinched the division for San Francisco, forcing the Seahawks to scrap for one of the NFC’s two wild card spots. At the moment, they are occupied by the 8-5-1 Giants and the 7-6-1 Commanders. They hold a head-to-head tiebreaker over the Giants but it’s unlikely that’ll matter. They have to hope Washington falls apart down the stretch.
