It will take until the very last minute of the NFL regular season to decide the NFC West title.
In a move that appeared a slam dunk for weeks, the league announced Sunday that next Sunday’s clash between the Seahawks and 49ers that will decide the NFC West title has been moved to a 5:20 p.m. start. It had been scheduled for a 1:25 p.m. kickoff. The game will be telecast nationally on NBC.
The winner of the game will be assured the NFC West title and if the Seahawks win today against Arizona it will also assure Seattle of at least a top two seed in the NFC and hosting a game in the divisional round after getting a bye the first week.
