Seattle Seahawks clinch first NFC West title since 2016

SEATTLE -- The Seattle Seahawks are NFC West champions, and they have their resurgent defense to thank for that.

That recent trend continued Sunday at Lumen Field as the Seahawks held the Los Angeles Rams to three field goals in a 20-9 win, securing Seattle's first division title since 2016.

Few would have predicted this at midseason, when Russell Wilson and Co. were on a roll while Seattle was setting or threatening NFL records for defensive futility.

Wilson and the offense did their part in closing out the victory after a sluggish start.
