"Zach Charbonnet ran for 110 yards and two touchdowns, and the Seahawks turned two third-quarter Carolina turnovers into touchdowns to beat the Panthers 27-10 on Sunday and close in on their first NFC West title since 2020. Sam Darnold overcame an interception in the end zone to finish 18 of 27 for 147 yards with a touchdown for the Seahawks (13-3). Seattle can wrap up the division crown if the 49ers and Los Angeles Rams both lose or tie. The 49ers were hosting Chicago Sunday night, and the Rams visit Atlanta Monday night."
"In all likelihood, the Seahawks will need to beat the Niners to wrap up the top seed and home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs. We're going to make sure we take care of business, defensive lineman DeMarcus Lawrence said. It's in our hands. The only thing we have to do is grasp it."
"The Panthers (8-8) had a chance to win the NFC South after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost 20-17 at Miami on Sunday. Now the Panthers will likely need a victory at Tampa Bay next weekend to win their first division title since 2015 and snap a seven-year playoff drought. Carolina could still claim the division with a loss to the Bucs if the Atlanta Falcons (6-9) win their final two games and the teams finish in a three-way tie."
Zach Charbonnet rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns as the Seahawks converted two third-quarter Carolina turnovers into points to win 27-10. Sam Darnold completed 18 of 27 passes for 147 yards and a touchdown despite an end-zone interception. The victory moved Seattle to 13-3 and strengthened its bid for the NFC West title and a top playoff seed. Seattle can clinch the division if both the 49ers and Rams lose or tie, but a Week 18 win over the 49ers is likely needed to secure home-field advantage. Carolina now needs a road win at Tampa Bay to claim the NFC South.
