The Seattle Seahawks notched a win on the national stage Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles to advance to 8-3 on the season. For their efforts in Week 12, the Seahawks have jumped back up in Touchdown Wire’s latest NFL power rankings. Seattle now sits at No. 6.

“The second half was all about the Seahawks defense flipping the script,” writes Mark Schofield. “Where it was the Eagles defense with two critical fourth-down stops in the first half, Seattle had two of their own in the second. Those stops, coupled with a pair of field goals, allowed the Seahawks to slowly salt away the win.”

 

“Now what do the Seahawks face?” Schofield continues. “Three straight winnable games, with the Giants, the Jets and Washington over the next three weeks, before they close out the year with the Rams and the 49ers in Weeks 16 and 17. A favorable path to perhaps a division title, and maybe even more.”

First up on Seattle’s plate is the Giants of New York, who the Seahawks should handle readily if they are truly worthy of a postseason run.
