The Seattle Seahawks face a challenging path to the playoffs after a narrow 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, which reduced their postseason chances to 24%.

Coach Mike Macdonald acknowledged the team's fate is no longer in their hands, as they must rely on the Los Angeles Rams' performance against the Arizona Cardinals.

With a tough road game against the Chicago Bears ahead, the Seahawks need to win their remaining games and hope for favorable outcomes elsewhere to keep their playoff hopes alive.
