Seahawks Climb NFC West After Key Win and 49ers Loss
26 Oct
Summary
- Seahawks now trail NFC West leaders by two games in the loss column.
- 49ers' undefeated streak ended with a loss to the Falcons.
- Seahawks face tough competition from NFC North teams for wild card spots.
The Seattle Seahawks have significantly improved their playoff outlook following a Week 7 win against the Kansas City Chiefs. This victory propels them closer to the NFC West lead, now trailing the San Francisco 49ers by two games in the loss column.
The 49ers' previously undefeated season took a hit with a 29-20 defeat to the Atlanta Falcons, who were fresh off their own victory. This outcome also impacted the Rams, who, despite a win, remain behind the Seahawks in the division standings, while the Cardinals also suffered a loss.
Despite these gains, the Seahawks are currently outside the playoff picture due to the competitive depth of the NFC North, where all teams boast winning records. This division is shaping up to be a primary competitor for Seattle's wild card aspirations.
Currently, the Seahawks sit at 4-3, with the Green Bay Packers holding a tiebreaker advantage due to a superior record against NFC opponents.
