UPDATED AS OF 8:35 PM SATURDAY:
The needed games didn’t go as the Seahawks wanted on Sunday. The Commanders beat the Falcons Sunday night, advancing the LA Rams into the playoffs and knocking the Seahawks out of the playoffs.
According to NFL.com, the Seahawks chances to make the playoffs were at less than 1%, even after the Seahawks beat the Bears on Thursday.
With the Rams winning against the Cardinals in the third game of Saturday’s triple-header, the Seahawks needed an unfathomable amount of help to make the playoffs.
If the Seahawks beat the Rams next week, both teams would finish 10-7, head to head 1-1, in the division 4-2, and common opponents 7-5.
In that case, it came down to a 5th tie breaker: Strength of victory, where the Rams held a big advantage.
And what the Seahawks needed didn’t come to fruition.
Here’s what the Seahawks needed this weekend:
Seahawks needed the Commanders to lose to the Falcons, but the Commanders won in overtime, 30-24.
The Jets were on the list, but they lost to the Bills, 40-14. The Packers were also on the list, but they lost to the Vikings, 27-25.
The Dolphins beat the Browns, a positive for the Hawks, 20-3.
Then the Seahawks had to beat the Rams next week.
If that happens, the Seahawks also needed all of this NEXT week:
Broncos beat the Chiefs.
Dolphins beat the Jets.
Falcons beat the Panthers.
Cardinals beat the 49ers.
Bears beat the Packers.
Patriots beat the Bills.
Lions beat the Vikings.
Buccaneers beat the Saints.
Chargers beat the Raiders.
