Seahawks on the Brink: A Playoff Berth and MoreThe Seattle Seahawks are poised to secure a playoff spot with a win against the Los Angeles Rams this Thursday night. A victory guarantees them a spot, while a loss could still keep them in the running if the Detroit Lions fall to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Seahawks have a better than ninety-nine percent chance of making the playoffs, according to The Athletic’s Playoff Simulator.However, the Seahawks are aiming higher than just a playoff berth. Currently holding the fifth seed in the NFC, they would travel to Tampa Bay for a wild card game against the Buccaneers if the season ended today. A win over the Rams could secure the NFC’s number one seed, while a loss would drop their chances to a mere one percent.Meanwhile, the San Francisco Forty-Niners are also in the playoff hunt, improving to ten and four with a win over the Titans. They can clinch a playoff spot this week by beating the Colts on Monday night or if the Lions lose. The Forty-Niners are still in contention for the division title and even the number one seed, especially if the Seahawks can defeat the Rams.Looking back at the Colts game, the Seahawks offense struggled in the first half but significantly improved in the second, gaining two hundred thirty-seven yards and scoring on four of five possessions. However, their red zone efficiency and third-down conversions were still a concern, settling for field goals instead of touchdowns. Despite these issues, the team did what was necessary to secure the win, but theyll need a much stronger performance against the Rams to make a deep playoff run.
