After their crushing loss on Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks will need some help to avoid missing the playoffs for a second straight year.

In crunch time, Darnold got the ball back with 4 minutes, 21 seconds left, trailing and needing to go the length of the field.

Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts has been ruled out of their Week 16 game against the Washington Commanders with a concussion.

The Seattle Seattle Seahawks have a difficult matchup in Week 16, hosting the NFC-best 12-2 Minnesota Vikings. Seattle’s postseason chances are beginning to dwindle. They forfeited control of the NFC West last weekend.

The setup for two Christmas Day games means two games on Saturday in Week 16. They’ll be potential playoff previews.

Shortly before the Vikings snuck out of Seattle with a win over the Seahawks, the Washington Commanders handed the Philadelphia Eagles just their third loss of the season. That means all the Vikings need to do to claim the No. 1 seed in the NFC is beat the Green Bay Packers next week and close their season with a win over the Detroit Lions.

Philadelphia’s playoff fate hangs in the balance as they aim for the NFC East crown and the conference’s coveted top seed.

After watching the Detroit Lions take an easy 34-17 win over the Chicago Bears in the early window of the Sunday slate, the Minnesota Vikings entered their late-afternoon matchup with the Seattle Seahawks knowing they needed a victory to keep pace in the race for the NFC North.

But Justin Jefferson ensured that the Vikings would not leave Seattle without a win. On first-and-10 at the Seattle 39 with 3:58 remaining, Jefferson broke free down the left sideline over the top of the Seattle secondary. He then adjusted his route and spun in the air to catch an underthrown ball from Sam Darnold before running into the end zone.

The 12-2 Eagles can wrap up the NFC East with a victory or tie. Philadelphia is still in contention for the top seed in the playoffs and the bye week along with the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings of the NFC North, who have the same record as the Eagles entering this week.

The Kansas City Chiefs face the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium on Wednesday, battling for crucial playoff scenarios in the AFC. This game is
