Updated NFC West Standings: Where Seahawks stand after week 13
By Jake Luppino
Week 13 Recap:
New York Giants defeat Seattle Seahawks, 17-12
The New York Giants were able to pull off the upset in Seattle as their defense dominated for four quarters. Their pass rush, along with their unique post-snap adjustments flustered this Seattle offense. The Seahawks weren’t able to capitalize on key plays and as a result, lost the situational football battle. But, the Seahawks defense and special teams put together a nice game and that is a good sign moving forward.
Los Angeles Rams defeat Arizona Cardinals, 38-28
After a sloppy performance against the Niners last week, the Rams played clean, smart football in this one. They were practically in control of this game from start to finish. The defense wreaked havoc on Kyler Murray and the offense got back to establishing the run game. Since the Hail Mary! win against the Bills, the Cardinals are on a three-game losing streak. Their playoff chances are becoming slimmer and slimmer each week.
Buffalo Bills defeat San Francisco 49ers, 34-24
The San Francisco 49ers weren’t able to build off of their big win over the Rams. On Monday Night Football, the Bills showed up and showed out. Josh Allen put together a four-touchdown performance that just saw him shred this San Francisco defense. If the 49ers were able to win this game, they would have inched closer to the playoffs. But, they ultimately got beaten by the better team and will look to bounce back this week.
