The Seattle Seahawks would’ve been out of an NFC playoff spot regardless of whether they won or lost against the Los Angeles Rams, but since they lost, the damage is a lot heavier than if they were tied for first with the Arizona Cardinals.
Had the Seahawks won, they would’ve been only a game behind the Green Bay Packers for the final wild card spot and 8th in the NFC.
