The Seattle Seahawks will officially defend their Super Bowl title, clinching a playoff berth with the Dallas Cowboys' 42-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
The Philadelphia Eagles are the only team that can catch the Seahawks in the standings, but Seattle holds the tiebreaker after winning 24-14 in their lone meeting.
Seattle plays the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday and could take over the NFC West lead and the first overall seed in the conference with a victory.
