With Week 16 in the books, the NFL clarified what the playoff picture looks like heading into the holidays. Here is the Seahawks' path.

Seattle must win each of its final two games, beginning with Thursday's showdown against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. The Seahawks currently trail the Los Angeles Rams by a game in the NFC West and could still be eliminated if they win Thursday.

The Seattle Seahawks find themselves in a precarious position entering their Week 16 game. Last week, the Seahawks were forcibly removed from their position atop the NFC West thanks to the Green Bay Packers putting a licking on the team to the tune of 30-13.

Two weeks ago, the NFL power rankers were beginning to believe in the Seahawks. Now? Well, let's just say consecutive home losses did not impress.

It's been a long road to get to this point for the Los Angeles Rams, winning eight of their last 10 games after starting 1-4. They're currently 9-6 thanks to their four-game winning streak, taking over sole possession of the NFC West lead.

Here is where the San Francisco 49ers sit in the NFL Week 17 power rankings after a loss to the Miami Dolphins.
