  "account": "The Seattle Seahawks have climbed back into the NFC West race with a Week 7 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, despite their 4-3 record. The San Francisco 49ers' loss to the Atlanta Falcons in a 29-20 upset has derailed their undefeated start, leaving the Seahawks in second place in the NFC West standings behind the 49ers. The Los Angeles Rams remain behind the Seahawks in the Western division, while the Arizona Cardinals also suffered a loss. The Seahawks are still out of a playoff spot due to the NFC North's competitive nature, but their win over the Chiefs suggests they could pose a challenge in the Wild Card hunt.",
  "summary": "The Seahawks aren’t in a playoff spot right now, but they’re in the Wild Card mix and now just two behind the NFC West leading 49ers in the loss column.",
