Take care of the football or lose. Seahawks did not, and did. Geno Smith was steady for Cardinals — 21/33, 252 yards, 3 TD. Jalen Milroe threw for Seahawks — 23/39, 280 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT — in a losing effort. Jalen Milroe has not had a better afternoon this season. Total yards: Seahawks 465, Cardinals 405.

49-31, and neither defence wants to watch it back. Julian Sayin was steady for Browns — 32/39, 545 yards, 6 TD, 2 INT. KC Concepcion Jr was the target for Browns — 11 catches, 202 yards, 1 TD. Worth noting: Julian Sayin, 81 overall, is 1 in the league in passing yards. Through the air: Browns 545, Seahawks 194.

35 points separated these two, and Seahawks had all of them. Jalen Milroe was steady for Seahawks — 8/10, 259 yards, 4 TD, 1 INT. Connor Weigman was steady for 49ers — 22/44, 266 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT — in a losing effort. Total yards: Seahawks 407, 49ers 274.

Devon Walker: "Seattle won because it ran the ball 126 yards to Los Angeles's 63 and didn't need much else. But Milroe took 6 sacks—the Seahawks' offensive line kept collapsing, and only Jalen's arm talent kept them ahead."

Seattle beat Los Angeles 24-20 in Week 16 behind 126 rushing yards that overwhelmed a Rams defense allowing just 63 on the ground. Jalen Milroe went 19 of 32 for 281 yards and 2 touchdowns while Matthew Stafford matched him with 283 passing yards and 1 touchdown, but the Seahawks' ground game decided it. Los Angeles got 5 catches for 124 yards and a touchdown from Davante Adams in a losing effort. Seattle moves to 8-7 while Los Angeles falls to 7-8.

Ava Collins: "Giants lean into what works, Seahawks can't run it. New York controlled this one with 80 rushing yards and the ball on the ground—Seattle managed 15, and you're not winning a 3-point game when you can't establish anything in the run game." Talia Morgan: "Seattle passed 67% of the time against a Giants team that leaned run-heavy all season—and at 7-6 in a packed conference race, they can't afford many more games where their game plan works against their own strengths." Daniel Keller: "Seattle passed into a wall again—67% of the time with 15 rushing yards—and lost a game it had no business losing to a team it's supposed to be better than."

Giants needed all sixty minutes, edging Seahawks 20-17. Keenan Allen was the target for Giants — 5 catches, 69 yards, 1 TD. Jaxson Dart ran it for Giants — 7 carries, 61 yards, 1 TD. Ernest Jones IV is in form — 0 sacks a game over his last three, against a season average of 0. Total yards: Giants 257, Seahawks 111.

Seahawks took care of Cowboys, 31-20. Dak Prescott threw for Cowboys — 30/53, 315 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT — in a losing effort. Jalen Milroe threw for Seahawks — 19/34, 288 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. Total yards: Cowboys 440, Seahawks 389.
