The Seattle Seahawks beat the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football in Week 13, 37-30.
The outcome meant more to the playoff standings than to just the Seahawks’ and Vikings’ fortunes.
The win catapults the Seahawks to the top of the NFC West thanks to their win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10. They’ll meet again in the final week of the regular season, but Seattle’s loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 3 means Seattle catapults into the #2 seed with the Saints now atop the NFC.
