This game meant a lot more to the Seattle Seahawks than the Cardinals, who are already out of the playoffs. While the ending itself was incredibly Seahawky, so was the Cardinals performance, and having to live precariously through Arizona was like watching every Seahawks problem unfold in one three-hour package.

In an instant, the Seattle Seahawks playoff hopes went from being within range to on instant life support. The best chance for Seattle to find a way back into controlling their own destiny was for the Arizona Cardinals to find a way to defeat the Los Angeles Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks and their fanbase will have to do an about-face when it comes to their rooting tendencies this weekend. After defeating the Chicago Bears on Thursday night, the Seahawks kept their hopes of winning the NFC West and reaching the playoffs alive, but they'll need some help from an unlikely source.
