Seahawks playoff picture
Seattle has to win to have a shot at getting into the playoffs. If they lose to the Rams, they are eliminated. If they win, they need the Green Bay Packers to lose to the Detroit Lions. This will land them the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoff picture, and they will face the No. 2 seed in the first round. When the Seahawks played the Rams in Week 13, they won 27-23. Seattle has gone 2-5 over their last seven games and is coming off a 23-6 victory over the New York Jets.
