Lynnwood, WALocal News

The Seattle Seahawks have been officially eliminated from playoff contention following the Washington Commanders' victory over the Atlanta Falcons, which secured a postseason spot for the Los Angeles Rams. After a narrow win against the Chicago Bears, the Seahawks had a couple of potential paths to keep their playoff hopes alive. However, their fate was sealed when the Rams achieved crucial victories, and the Seahawks failed to capitalize on key moments throughout the season. Coach Mike Macdonald expressed disappointment over the missed opportunities, indicating that a lack of control over their destiny led to their elimination. Nonetheless, the Seahawks will finish the season with a winning record, marking a degree of success in Macdonald's first year.

The upcoming game against the Rams will serve as a final chance to build momentum for the offseason, highlighting the competitive nature of the NFC West where every game carries significant weight. Fans will be eager to see how the team prepares for the future after a challenging yet revealing season.
