According to Seahawks PR, Seattle now has 19 wins in the last 24 games, ranking first in the NFL. This is already the highest-scoring team in franchise history (470 points) and they can push that record even further in Week 18.

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.

The Seattle Seahawks can win the NFC West if the San Francisco 49ers lose to the Chicago Bears and the Los Angeles Rams somehow lose to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday. They can win the NFC West and lock up the NFC’s top seed with the Rams lose AND the 49ers and Bears play to a tie. Only a tie is an acceptable outcome in this scenario.

Jeremy Cluff writes: "The Bears will benefit from the extra rest for this one after playing on Saturday, Dec. 20, in Week 16, with the 49ers having played on Monday Night Football. Caleb Williams and Chicago will continue their magical season with a big win on the road."

Here's how the Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers stack up in this week's various NFL power rankings.

Seattle originally broke a 3-3 tie after scoring touchdowns on back-to-back Panthers turnovers. Lawrence forced another fumble and nearly scored his third touchdown of the season, and Julian Love intercepted Young on a pass down the sideline.
