The Week 10 Monday Night game was a thing of beauty for fans to watch. The Seattle Seahawks were well in control over the San Francisco 49ers for the majority of the night, but then the home team fought back and ended up tying things up at 24 and got it into overtime.

From there, things got even more exciting as the Seahawks marched right down the field as it looked as though they would punch it in and walk away with a huge win. However, Russell Wilson made a very rare mistake and was picked off in the red zone.

After a lot of back and forth, Seattle finally got a field goal with hardly any time left and they went home 8-2. They’re still behind the Niners in the standings but this set things up beautifully for Week 17 when the two teams meet again. Hopefully, that will be for the NFC West title, although the ‘Hawks would be fine if they can take it over and put it away before then.

It would be hard to bet against them, especially with the way Wilson is playing right now. He’s on the shortlist of MVP candidates and a late-season run could end up securing that title for him. Although, he would probably prefer getting another NFL title.
