Losing today to the Steelers was like hitting an iceberg in the north Atlantic. The only question is will this hit they’ve taken flood too many watertight compartments to prevent the worst outcome?

The Seahawks no longer control their own fate. Once more, they head into Week 18 needing outside help. Tonight on Sunday Night Football, the 7-8 Vikings and 7-8 Packers play each other. Unless they tie, one is going to move ahead of Seattle in the Wild Card standings.

If Green Bay wins, they will only need a win over Chicago next week to clinch a playoff spot. If they lose, they will be eliminated. Seattle would need the Bears to upset the Packers if they prevail tonight.

Should Minnesota win, the Seahawks would need a Detroit Lions team that already has their division and playoff seeding set to beat the Vikings again.

Of course, all of this is dependent upon Seattle defeating an Arizona Cardinals team fresh off an upset over the Eagles in Philadelphia.
