The Seattle Seahawks could have secured a bye week in the NFC by winning their last two games, but that plan fell apart as the Arizona Cardinals beat the Seahawks in Seattle for the third time since 2013. (The rest of the NFL has a combined three wins in Seattle in that same period of time.)
By dropping to 9-5-1, the Seahawks fell behind the 10-5 Atlanta Falcons. The 9-5 Detroit Lions play the Cowboys in Dallas on Monday, but if they pull out the win, they’ll improve to 10-5 and push Seattle all the way down to being the four seed.
