NFL: 

Seattle escaped with a win in Glendale yesterday beating the Cardinals 21-20, but the win was a hollow one as the Packers beat the Bears to keep the Seahawks from reaching the postseason. There are definite question marks about coach Pete Carrol and the direction for next season.

San Francisco lost 21 to 20 to the LA Rams yesterday. The 49ers will use their first round bye to recuperate several injuries on both sides of the ball including a sore calf from Christian McCaffery. The 9ers will play the lowest seed remaining from the upcoming Wild Card Weekend. It could very well be the same Rams team.
