Seahawks' Playoff Hopes Dim After Loss to Vikings, Focus Shifts to Bears

Tacoma, WASports

The Seattle Seahawks' playoff hopes took a significant hit following a 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, leaving them with only a 12% chance of making the postseason. Coach Mike Macdonald urged his team to focus on the upcoming critical game against the Chicago Bears. The loss, along with the Rams' victory, has put Los Angeles in a strong position in the NFC West, pushing the Seahawks to the brink of elimination from wild-card contention. To maintain any chance of securing the division title, Seattle must win against Chicago and hope for the Cardinals to defeat the Rams. Coach Macdonald is optimistic, stating, 'We’re just going to keep hammering away, until this thing cracks.

' With complex playoff scenarios ahead, the team's fate now hinges on multiple outcomes beyond their control. The Seahawks' resilience will be tested as they navigate a tight schedule during the holiday season, but the team remains focused on their goal of winning.
