Seattle's fast start to the season has slowed to an absolute crawl as of late, with the team losing five of its last six games.The fifth of those lo ses came on Saturday against the always-difficult Chiefs, who upended Geno Smith and Co. 24-10 in Arrowhead Stadium. Despite the Seahawks' miserable outing over the last month-and-a-half, the team still has a puncher's chance at making the playoffs as the seventh and final seed in the NFC playoffs.But any notion that the NFC West team has a chance to control its own destiny is long gone: Seattle absolutely needs help to get in at this point of the season. That starts with the teams desperately trying to hold off the Seahawks in the final two spots of the NFC Chris Webber Jersey standings: the Giants and Commanders.With that, The Sporting News looks at the Seahawks' playoff chances heading into the final two weeks of the season:MORE: The Seahawks currently sit one spot out of the playoffs, in eighth place. Directly in front of them are the sixth-place Giants and seventh-place Commanders. The Lions (7-7) and Packers (6-8) are behind Seattle in the ninth and 10th spots, respectively.The Seahawks have tiebreakers over both the Giants (8-6-1, second place NFC East) in front of them and Lions (7-7, second place NFC North) behind them, courtesy of wins in Weeks 8 and 4, respectively. So there's Jahmi'us Ramsey Jersey plenty of ways this could play out, even among the other playoff-hopeful teams that haven't locked in their spot.MORE: The Seahawks needed a win on Saturday, but they aren't eliminated yet. Seattle still has two winnable home games to end the season against the Jets (7-8) and Rams (4-10). They need to win one most likely both to get in over the Giants or Commanders.The Seahawks are still in it. Again, for now. They needed a win on Saturday, yes, but not with a capital N. They were kept alive by a Giants lo s to the Vikings and, later, a Commanders lo s to the 49ers. Had New York and Washington both won on Saturday, Seattle would have been eliminated before next week's game vs. the Jets.That said, the Seahawks still need to have a better three-game record over the last three weeks over the Giants and Commanders. The Giants lost the head-to-head to Seattle on Oct. 30, so Seattle still gets in if they have the same Willie Cauley-Stein Jersey record at the end of the season.The Seahawks don't have a similar tiebreaker with the Commanders, and so need them to lose to two of their three remaining games vs. the 49ers, Browns and Cowboys to finish with either an 8-8-1 or 7-9-1 record.Of course, Seattle's hopes also hinge on winning its two remaining games vs. the Jets and Rams to finish the season with 9-8.
