Seahawks stuck down at No. 6 in NFL’s weekly power rankings

Despite their winning ways, the Seattle Seahawks remain stuck down at No. 6 in NFL.com’s weekly NFL power rankings.

The Seattle Seahawks have logged a perfect 5-0 start to the season, and for their efforts, have landed at the top of Touchdown Wire’s weekly NFL power rankings. That isn’t the case on NFL.com, however, where the Seahawks are stuck at No. 6.

“Pete Carroll is the perfect coach for this Seahawks team,” writes Around the NFL writer, Dan Hanzus. “At halftime, with Seattle facing a 13-0 deficit, Carroll told NBC’s Michele Tafoya the scoreboard was irrelevant midway through the game. ‘We haven’t even started yet,’ he said.”

“The Seahawks proceeded to score three touchdowns in a 1:53 span of the third quarter, got a game-saving fourth-and-1 stop deep in their own end, then Let Russ Cook on a 13-play, 94-yard drive in the final two minutes to steal a win from the desperate Vikings,” Hanzus continues. “Minnesota held the ball for nearly 40 minutes and outplayed Seattle for about 55 minutes of game time. And yet, it was Carroll and the Seahawks celebrating in the end. This is a team that believes.”

This may be a team that believes, but Hanzus believes there are five better clubs than Seattle right now as Titans, Steelers, Ravens, Chiefs and Packers all rank higher than the Seahawks.
