The Seattle Seahawks are guaranteed a playoff berth if they win against either the Kansas City Chiefs or the Arizona Cardinals, but results from Sunday’s 10 AM slate certainly have thrown out a lot of the room for error should Seattle fall to 8-8.
After a slow start, the Minnesota Vikings beat the Detroit Lions 27-9 to improve to 8-6-1 on the season, so they are in good position to make the playoffs themselves. If Seattle loses, Minnesota will assume the #5 seed for at least a week.
In the most exciting game of the day, the Philadelphia Eagles squandered a 29-16 lead to the Houston Texans, fell behind 30-29, but won on a Jake Elliott field goal with no time left to keep their season alive.
