On the cusp of a wild card berth, the Seattle Seahawks must keep stacking wins with two games left to play and will spar against an equally desperate Pittsburgh Steelers squad on New Years Eve in a Week 17 matchup offering major playoff ramifications.
Coming off a second straight comeback win over the Titans that improved their record to 8-7, the Seahawks currently hold the final wild card spot in the NFC behind the Cowboys and Rams.
