The Seattle Seahawks may face insurmountable obstacles on their narrow path to the playoffs. Their only hope of reaching the postseason is to win the NFC West, and they’re a game behind the Los Angeles Rams after Sunday’s 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

The Seattle Seahawks find themselves in a precarious position entering their Week 16 game. Last week, the Seahawks were forcibly removed from their position atop the NFC West thanks to the Green Bay Packers putting a licking on the team to the tune of 30-13.

The Rams enter Week 16 at 8-6, riding a three-game winning streak and tied atop the NFC West with the Seahawks. On Sunday they will look to bolster their playoff chances when they head to MetLife Stadium to take on the Jets.

Sam Darnold connected with a well-covered Justin Jefferson with 3:51 left for his third TD pass of the game, and Minnesota outlasted Geno Smith and Seattle to keep pace with Detroit for the top spot in the NFC on Sunday with a 27-24 victory.

Former USC Trojans now Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold led his third fourth-quarter go-ahead drive in the last four games, connecting with receiver Justin Jefferson for the game-winning touchdown in a 27-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks.
