Divisional winners would still get a playoff spot, but they wouldn't be guaranteed a home game.

Seattle suffered its first road loss of the season against the Rams on Sunday night. It's unfortunate since the Niners won earlier in the day, meaning a Hawks win would have put them in first place in the conference. Obviously, the team has some issues, and injuries, specifically the latest one to Penny, aren't helping, but the team has proven they can beat good teams like San Francisco and Minnesota, and the next two games are against opponents that theoretically shouldn't pose too much of a serious threat. One thing is for sure, the Week 17 game vs. the Niners is setting up to be huge. In case you missed it earlier this afternoon Pete Carroll spoke. We've got the highlights late in the hour.

With so much attention paid to the Hawks and Rams yesterday, a lot of people probably missed the Dawgs and Gonzaga in what ended up being a great basketball game.

The Cowboys lose again, but they're still ahead in the NFC East despite being 6-7. This could be the worst division in football since the 7-9 NFC West in 2010. People are suddenly jumping back on the Rams bandwagon, but what have they accomplished? Seattle just needs to put pressure on Goff and they should be in good shape. Kevin Harlan was sick earlier this week, but joins us today to discuss all things NFL. Husky tight end Hunter Bryant has declared for the NFL Draft which we kind of suspected was going to happen.

Last hour we asked Kevin Harlan about the top playoff teams in the NFC. It seems right now that the Hawks, Niners, and Saints are at the very top, followed by the Packers and Vikings, and then the Cowboys, because you have to put them somewhere. Somebody has to win the NFC East. One thing is for sure though, those other five teams have all shown some potential, and this year's playoffs are going to be awesome.
