The Vikings remained in control of their own destiny, defeating the Seahawks 27-24 for their first win in Seattle since 2006. The 13-2 Vikings are tied with the Lions for the top seed in the NFC. Detroit won Sunday, while the Philadelphia Eagles lost to fall one game back in the race for the No. 1 seed. By winning their final two games, the Vikings would guarantee themselves the NFC North title, the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage through the NFC playoffs.
