The Seattle Seahawks haven’t clinched a playoff spot yet, but they’re 99% of the way there and just need to beat the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday to secure their place in the postseason.
In the Russell Wilson era, the Seahawks have never had “nothing to play for” late in the regular season. Just look at previous Week 17s:
2012 - Needed a win and a 49ers loss to win the NFC West.
2013 - Needed a win or a 49ers loss to clinch the NFC West and the #1 seed.
2014 - Needed a win or a Cardinals loss to clinch the NFC West and the #1 seed.
