SEATTLE _ The Seahawks played their most perplexing game of the season in a 27-13 loss to Arizona on Sunday at CenturyLink Field, dropping Seattle (11-4) out of the top spot in the NFC playoff seedings.
The good news is the Seahawks can still clinch the NFC West title _ and still have a shot at a first-round bye _ with a victory over San Francisco (12-3) in the regular-season finale at home next week.
The bad news is the Seahawks were so bad against Arizona _ and they are so injury-riddled right now _ that you wonder what kind of team they'll be able to field next week.
