How can the Seahawks clinch the playoffs? Here are the scenarios

Team USA hit the ice in Everett this weekend to prepare for the 2019 World Junior Championships in Vancouver.

The Seahawks fell to 8-6 on the season with their 26-23 loss to the San Francisco 49ers Sunday. The story of the game for most fans were the flags: Seattle was penalized 14 times for a franchise-high 148 yards. But for head coach Pete Carroll, this loss falls on the shoulders of the team, not the refs.

The Seahawks may have had three standout performances Sunday, but it was penalties and injuries that had the final say in their 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.

Ultimately the Seahawks needed a little help to beat themselves in a 26-23 overtime defeat to the 49ers, and referee Pete Morelli’s officiating crew was more than happy to oblige.
