Seahawks regain No. 2 seed in NFC playoff projections
With Seattle's win on Thursday night and the Detroit Lions' loss on Sunday to the New York Giants, the Seahawks moved back up to No. 2 in the NFC playoff picture.
If the regular season ended today, the Seahawks would have a bye in the first round. Their most likely opponent at home in the divisional round would be the third-seeded Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons played the Seahawks tough at CenturyLink Field earlier this season, but Seattle escaped with a 26-24 victory.
Other possible divisional round opponents in the first round, given the way things are currently set up, include the Lions and Giants.
