SEATTLE (AP) — Russell Wilson threw a 2-yard pass to Ed Dickson with 7:31 left for his third touchdown strike, Chris Carson rushed for two scores, and the Seattle Seahawks clinched an NFC wild-card berth with a 38-31 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night. Wilson got the better of Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and helped lead Seattle back to the postseason after missing the playoffs a year ago. Seattle’s now made the playoffs in seven of the nine seasons with Pete Carroll in charge, and six of seven with Wilson at quarterback.

The Seahawks (9-6) can wrap up the No. 5 seed and a matchup with Dallas by beating Arizona in Week 17. Carson became the first Seattle running back since Marshawn Lynch in 2014 to have 1,000 yards rushing. Travis Kelce passed Tony Gonzalez for most yards receiving in a single season by a tight end in Chiefs history. Patrick Mahomes has 30 touchdown passes on the road, most in NFL history. Tom Brady had 29 in 2007. Kansas City running back Darrel Williams suffered a hamstring injury in the first half and did not return.
