Seahawks' depleted defense keeps chance of NFC West title alive

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Seattle Seahawks entered Sunday's game down four defensive starters plus a key rotational player. By the end of it, they had lost two more to injuries.

Under those circumstances, they should be happy about getting a win against a five-win team with a backup quarterback and an interim head coach.

The Seahawks' 30-24 victory over the Carolina Panthers gives them the most road victories (seven) they've had in one season in franchise history. And it means they won't lose any ground in the NFC playoff race this weekend.

The Seahawks (11-3) still hold the No.
