A tiebreaker cost the Seattle Seahawks the NFC West title in 2024. Could a Week 1 loss at home come back to haunt Mike Macdonald’s squad this season?

The NFC West didn't see their Week 7 action end until late Monday night, as the Seattle Seahawks played the final game of the week against the Houston Texans. Nothing changed in the standings, as three of the teams won their games, while the Arizona Cardinals lost their fifth consecutive game and remained in last place.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba has his fifth 100-yard receiving game of the season and Seattle’s defense holds Houston to one offensive TD in a 27-19 win to keep pace with the Rams and 49ers at 5-2.

Mike Macdonald’s team hosts the Houston Texans on Monday night. Simply put, a Seahawks' victory makes it a three-way tie atop the always-formidable NFC West.

The Packers lead the NFC North and the conference. The San Francisco 49ers lead the NFC West on a tiebreaker. The Philadelphia Eagles are dominating the NFC East. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers still hold the NFC South lead despite their loss.

Monday's win over the Buccaneers catapulted the Lions' playoff chances, and put Detroit in the mix for the NFC North. Detroit has losses to Green Bay and Kansas City and has a brutal schedule remaining, but the Lions are one of the more talented teams in the NFL .
