Just two months ago, the Seattle Seahawks held the top spot in the NFC West. On the first day of 2024, Seattle is now out of a playoff spot and locked into 3rd place in the division behind the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams.
The 49ers are the No. 1 seed in the NFC for the second time in five seasons, while the Rams will either be the No. 6 or No. 7 seed depending on how Week 18 results pan out. Perhaps now’s as good a time as any to really scrutinize how badly Pete Carroll’s teams have been dominated by Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay.
