From the moment the Los Angeles Rams beat the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday, the exclusive focus for the Seattle Seahawks was to get one hell of a slew of results to break their way in order to clinch the strength of victory tiebreaker. Hopes were dashed for good when the Washington Commanders beat the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night, eliminating the Seahawks and (barring a miracle in Tampa) the Falcons.
