NFL games rarely hinge on one man’s foot anymore, but Sunday’s game in Seattle felt like a throwback. In a gritty, low-scoring affair between the Seahawks and the Indianapolis Colts, there were no offensive fireworks or highlight-reel touchdowns.

If Seattle wins the second matchup between the teams on Thursday night at Lumen Field, the Seahawks officially clinch a spot in the playoffs. The Seahawks also will clinch if the Lions either tie or lose against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

The Indianapolis Colts competed, fought, and clawed to pull off the improbable against the Seattle Seahawks, but ultimately fell short, 18-16. After signing Philip Rivers to lead the squad, many believed this would be a disaster - I was essentially one of those people.

Kyle Shanahan revealed he spoke with Rivers last week when the signal-caller was chatting with San Francisco assistant coach Gus Bradley.

In the 26-0 victory over the Vikings in Week 13, the Seahawks offense recorded just 219 total yards. In the Week 14 win over the Falcons, Seattle was tied at the halftime break, 6-6. What kind of faith do we have in this Seahawks offense? At the very least, they are prone to slow starts.

The Colts lost 18-16 to the Seahawks, marking their fourth loss in a row despite QB Philip Rivers' return. Seattle's kicker Jason Myers scored all 18 points, including a game-winning field goal.

The Indianapolis Colts and Philip Rivers have an uphill battle against the Seattle Seahawks, but anything can happen.
