The Seattle Seahawks, despite a strong road record, are teetering on the edge of playoff elimination due to their struggles at home.
The Seattle Seahawks are on the brink of playoff elimination with two weeks remaining in the regular season. After consecutive home losses to the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings, they now trail the Los Angeles Rams by one game in the NFC West race, without a tiebreaker advantage. The Seahawks ' struggles at home are particularly concerning, as they have finished their Lumen Field schedule with a 3-6 record, their worst since the 2008 season.
However, Seattle's road record offers a glimmer of hope. They have already secured a winning record away from home and are favored against a struggling Chicago Bears team. If the Seahawks can win either their remaining game against the Bears or the Week 18 matchup against the Rams, they will achieve a winning season overall and set a unique record. They are on the verge of becoming the first team in NFL history to finish a season with a winning record despite having at least six home losses. This feat would be remarkable considering the limited number of teams with losing home records but above .500 seasons since the NFL expanded to 16 games in 1978. The Seahawks' playoff chances hinge on an improbable 7-1 finish on the road to compensate for their 3-6 home record. If they manage to make the playoffs, they might consider requesting their home playoff game to be held elsewhere
