Seahawks win over Cardinals, remain outside Wild Card contention
Summary

The Seattle Seahawks secured a crucial victory against the Arizona Cardinals, improving their record to 5-4. However, the team's playoff positioning remains precarious as other NFC teams performed well, particularly the Green Bay Packers, who defeated the New England Patriots 45-27. The Seahawks sit in eighth place in the NFC standings, trailing behind playoff contenders, including the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers. To qualify for the playoffs, Seattle may need to win additional games, as currently, ten wins might be necessary for a Wild Card spot. The situation raises concerns about the upcoming divisional matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12.
