The Washington Commanders won their third consecutive game Sunday, defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 36-33. The win improved Washington's record to 10-5, tightening its grip on the No. 7 and final NFC playoff seed.

After their crushing loss on Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks will need some help to avoid missing the playoffs for a second straight year.

In crunch time, Darnold got the ball back with 4 minutes, 21 seconds left, trailing and needing to go the length of the field.

The Seattle Seattle Seahawks have a difficult matchup in Week 16, hosting the NFC-best 12-2 Minnesota Vikings. Seattle’s postseason chances are beginning to dwindle. They forfeited control of the NFC West last weekend.

The setup for two Christmas Day games means two games on Saturday in Week 16. They’ll be potential playoff previews.

Shortly before the Vikings snuck out of Seattle with a win over the Seahawks, the Washington Commanders handed the Philadelphia Eagles just their third loss of the season. That means all the Vikings need to do to claim the No. 1 seed in the NFC is beat the Green Bay Packers next week and close their season with a win over the Detroit Lions.

Vikings outlast Seahawks and can gain both NFC North title and No. 1 seed in NFC by winning their final two games

Philadelphia’s playoff fate hangs in the balance as they aim for the NFC East crown and the conference’s coveted top seed.

After watching the Detroit Lions take an easy 34-17 win over the Chicago Bears in the early window of the Sunday slate, the Minnesota Vikings entered their late-afternoon matchup with the Seattle Seahawks knowing they needed a victory to keep pace in the race for the NFC North.

But Justin Jefferson ensured that the Vikings would not leave Seattle without a win. On first-and-10 at the Seattle 39 with 3:58 remaining, Jefferson broke free down the left sideline over the top of the Seattle secondary. He then adjusted his route and spun in the air to catch an underthrown ball from Sam Darnold before running into the end zone.
