Sam Darnold threw an interception in the end zone but finished 18 of 27 for 147 yards with a touchdown for the Seahawks, who can wrap up the NFC West title and the top seed if the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams both lose or tie.

The Seattle Seahawks standings in the NFL playoff picture is starting to take shape as the franchise looks to secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Seattle faces two challenging tests against the Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers to close the regular season.
