Seahawks Lead NFC West After Four Wins

The Seattle Seahawks have surged to an 8-5 record after winning four consecutive games, positioning them as a top contender in the NFC West. Their recent success is attributed to a solid defense under first-year head coach Mike Macdonald, allowing under 300 yards in three of their wins. The upcoming match against the Green Bay Packers, who have historically struggled in Seattle, could be crucial for playoff implications. The Packers have not won in Seattle since 2008, with a record of 0-4 in road games against the Seahawks since then. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams face significant playoff pressure as their chances hinge on their upcoming games, especially against the 49ers. A loss to the Rams could essentially end San Francisco's postseason hopes, highlighting the competitive nature of the NFC West this season.
