On Thursday Night the Seattle Seahawks won their second home game of the season, defeating the Green Bay Packers 27-24 and lifting their record to 5-5 heading into the home stretch of the season.
The win was crucial for Seattle’s playoff hopes, as a loss to Aaron Rodgers and the Packers would have left them with very little room for error between now and the end of the season, with three games left against the Carolina Panthers, Minnesota Vikings and the Kansas City Chiefs. With the victory the Seahawks take sole possession of seventh place in the NFC, at least until Sunday when the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons all take to the field with a chance to move into a tie with the Hawks at 5-5.
