Seahawks’ loss to Vikings sends their playoff chances tumbling

Associated Press  

SEATTLE — For the Seattle Seahawks, there is now no easy path to the postseason. According to the NFL, the Seahawks’ probability of making the playoffs fell to 24% after Sunday’s 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, who pulled ahead on a late touchdown pass from Sam Darnold to Justin Jefferson and held on thanks to a game-sealing interception of Seattle’s Geno Smith. I mean a break here or there, we’re right back in it and we’re rolling.” Just two weeks ago, the Seahawks led the NFC West by one game and had a better than 50% chance of making the postseason. “We’ve just got to handle our part, which is win out and then let the chips fall where they fall,” linebacker Ernest Jones IV said. But, yeah, it’s a tough one.” Seattle could still win the strength-of-victory tiebreaker over the Rams to clinch the division, but the situation that would make that possible is extremely unlikely.
