That was one of the best Sundays of the season for the Seahawks.
And they didn’t even play.
The Seahawks got the weekend off following their huge rally past Green Bay Thursday that revived their season. Sunday provided more positives. The teams holding the final three playoff spots in the NFC directly ahead of Seattle (5-5) all lost.
Suddenly, the Seahawks are just 1/2 game out of a playoff place.
Days after being a few minutes from 4-6 with their season on the brink, the Seahawks unexpectedly control their own postseason fate.
They were home Sunday night watching Minnesota (5-4-1) lose to NFC North-leading Chicago.
