In a thrilling NFL matchup, the Seattle Seahawks managed to survive with a hard-fought 24-20 victory over the Cleveland Browns, even though they were favored by 3.5 points. It was a game filled with excitement and last-minute heroics that had fans on the edge of their seats.

However, while Seattle celebrated their victory, the spotlight also shifted towards the Cleveland Browns. PJ Walker put up an impressive performance, going 15 of 31 for 248 yards. Unfortunately, he threw two costly interceptions that hurt his team’s chances of winning. The Browns have been competing admirably week after week despite the absence of star quarterback Deshaun Watson. The question now arises, when will they hand the reins back to Watson, especially after needing a late touchdown by Smith and J to secure the win?

With this win, the Browns could have improved their record to 5-2 overall, but instead, the focus turns to the Seattle Seahawks and their place in the NFC West. The San Francisco 49ers are struggling, and Seattle is on the rise. The odds market at the FanDuel Sportsbook indicates that the Philadelphia Eagles are the top contenders in the NFL, boasting both the first-place position and the best overall record in football.

On the other hand, the Dallas Cowboys are not yet in the discussion for the top spot, largely due to the fact that winning playoff games on the road against quality opponents is a formidable challenge. The Seahawks, however, are not counted out of the division race just yet, meaning the 49ers might secure a top-two seed and host the Cowboys in the playoffs.

These upcoming weeks, including the next weekend’s clash between the Cowboys and the Eagles, promise to be captivating. If the Cowboys can pull off a win in Philadelphia, it could throw a wrench into the NFC playoff picture and set the stage for an intriguing postseason showdown. NFL fans are in for an exciting ride as the season unfolds, with plenty of surprises still in store.
