Seahawks game day in Carolina: Suddenly, they entirely control their playoff fate

It’s all right here for the Seahawks.

After being 6 minutes away from a home loss to Green Bay 10 days ago that would have put them on the brink of elimination from the NFC playoff race, the Seahawks rallied to beat the Packers. Now they have a chance Sunday afternoon at Bank of America Stadium to not only stay in the middle of that race but to leapfrog into the first wild-card position in the conference.

The Panthers entered this game day having lost two in a row and holding a half-game lead on idle Washington (6-5) and one-game lead on Seattle for a wild-card spot.
