Aside from the fact that the Seattle Seahawks got booed out of their home stadium and dropped to 3-7 on Sunday, the team’s playoff chances got significantly worse thanks to a number of results around the league which went against my Week 11 rooting guide.
Things started of well on Thursday, when the Patriots killed the Falcons and dropped them to 4-6, but that was pretty much where the good stopped. The Vikings and 49ers both got to .500, putting them a full two games ahead of Seattle (with Minnesota holding the tiebreaker over Seattle). To make matters worse, these teams meet in Week 12, meaning one of them will be 6-5 before the Seahawks will even have the chance to get 5 wins.
