It has been universally agreed that the NFC West division is in fact the worst in professional football this year.
And this Sunday night, America will have to watch the Seattle Seahawks take on the St Louis Rams for the western crown.
Other than the St Louis and Seattle fan bases, will the rest of the country have any reason to root for these teams?
Why, in fact, there is.
It's called salvation (recovery, redemption). The Rams are currently 7-8, and if they win this Sunday, they will be even-steven at 8-8 and into the playoffs. That would salvage the NFL's worst division because at least there would not be a playoff team with a losing record.
Now if the Seahawks (6-9) were to win, they would get the tiebreaker and win the division with a record of 7-9. Not only would they be in the playoffs with a losing record, they would also host a playoff game and the visiting team would have a much better record then the Seahawks do.
This would surely cause some outrage.
There will definitely be some debates and arguments on whether or not a team with a losing record deserves to be in the playoffs, even if they win their division. Regardless of the banter, the Seahawks, if they were to win, would have to validate the division with a home playoff win.
Seattle is just the place to make it happen.
