NFL Power Rankings, Week 15: 49ers win thriller over Saints, Chiefs stake claim

6. Seattle Seahawks (3)

Right when the Seattle Seahawks were feeling great about moving into the No. 1 spot in the NFC playoff picture, the Los Angeles Rams took it all away after handing their rivals a rough 28-12 loss on Sunday night.

Heading into the contest, the Seahawks knew the Rams were going to be a difficult battle since Sean McVay and company were on the verge of desperation mode by fighting for their playoff lives.

But when seeing how great Seattle has looked over the last few months, no one expected the team to go the entire contest without scoring a single touchdown on offense.

Normally, Russell Wilson is always the kind of quarterback who tends to find ways to lead the Seahawks back in the craziest of ways, but the MVP candidate came up short in this one.

Now, it looks like Seattle will face a little extra pressure than previously expected over the next few weeks since they will be playing catch up to the San Francisco 49ers in the division standings once again.

If the Seahawks come up just short of the top seed in the NFC down the road, this loss to the Rams will most likely be one of the reasons as to why.
