Looking at the AFC standings again, Kansas should have a good chance of grabbing the last wildcard spot.

What stinks for them is they need help from other teams while still winning themselves. Only way they control everything is if they win out.

Rodgers dodged a bullet with a slight fracture to his left, non-throwing, wrist (he missed the 2nd half of the game yesterday with Rudolph in relief). Tomlin says he's "50-50" pending further evaluation (just wrap it up & take some pain killers Aaron. Lol).

Not so lucky for Penix Jr with a knee injury:

Report: Michael Penix Jr. will be placed on IR, has damage to ACL

While it’s currently unclear whether or not Michael Penix Jr. will miss the rest of the 2025 season, he is at least going to be sidelined for four weeks.

Just needs a quick ayahuasca hit and a darkness retreat and he’ll be 100%.

The fact that Seattle had 4 INT’s and still could have won this game actually speaks well of their defense. I suspect this will light a fire and you’ll see a better Darnold the rest of the way.

Several reviews have noted Darnold's anxious passing for 3 games. Seahawks had huge leads and managed to ride on first half scoring; letting the D close the games out. They almost did that yesterday. If SEA had that last field goal several feet to the left and won by a single point they shouldn't feel much better than losing the game. Their D is solid and running game showed up. Darnold's gotta calm down; particularly when he needs to scramble.
LA was offensively vital in the first quarter; but Coach Mike's D had them locked down for most of the remaining game. Puka Naqua was the bulk of the LA offense and Stafford didn't look much better than Darnold. Arguably he looked worse in the last quarter. The game at the end of December could confirm which is the better playoff team with pressure on both.
