Even after biffing at San Fran, Seahawks can for now be 95 percent sure of their playoff selves

There’s a fine reason Russell Wilson and his Seahawks weren’t panicking or even bummin’ in the locker room after they gave away their game to the 49ers.

They are still 95-percent sure of themselves.

That is the probability right now that Seattle (8-6) makes the NFC playoffs as a wild card, with two games remaining. That includes Sunday’s home game against the AFC West co-leading Kansas City Chiefs.

“I think that sometimes in a season, in life, or whatever it may be, you go through times to help prepare you for what’s to come. So, hopefully we can use this to prepare us to be that much sharper throughout the next game, and the game after that, and then we’ll see what happens,” Wilson said after the Seahawks set a team record for penalties in handing San Francisco a 26-23 overtime win on Sunday in Santa Clara, Calif.
