It’s now or never for the Seattle Seahawks (8-8).
Having squandered a golden opportunity last week to make Week 18 a “win-and-in” situation, Seattle must defeat the Arizona Cardinals (4-12) in order to stay alive in the NFC Wild Card hunt. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers need to lose or tie the Chicago Bears for the Seahawks to have any hope of the postseason. A Packers win renders any Seahawks result moot. The Seahawks have only lost once at Arizona in the last ten seasons, but if the defense doesn’t improve, then the Cardinals are very capable of pulling off the upset.
