The Seahawks have to take care of their own business on Sunday, but a handful of other games would help improve their playoff odds with the right result.

Another untimely interception helped the Vikings extend their lead, but Geno Smith willed the Seahawks back within three right before halftime.

A busted coverage and an untimely sack ultimately did the Seahawks in down the stretch, putting their playoff hopes squarely on life support.

With two games left to play, the Seahawks could be facing the prospect of trying to push for a playoff spot without their starting running back.

Slipping up once again in a close game at home, the Seahawks have nobody to blame but themselves for losing control of their own destiny.

The Seahawks hope to have Zach Charbonnet ready for Thursday night, but optimism isn't near as high for Ken Walker's chances to face the Bears.

Taking care of business in Chicago will be the first step, but the Seahawks will need significant help to make Week 18 a winner-take-all NFC West title game.

The status of Ken Walker III and Zach Charbonnet remains uncertain, opening the door for Kenny McIntosh to be a major X-factor for the Seahawks in Chicago.

Only three days after exiting a loss to the Vikings with an ankle injury, Ken Walker III will miss the Seahawks' key Thursday night game against the Bears.

A master at improvisations with the ability to hurt opponents with his arm and legs, the Seahawks will be tested by Caleb Williams in prime time.
