All is not lost for the Seattle Seahawks, who are even better than we expected them to be heading into the 2023 season. While their record only has them at 3-2, the context is what really matters. Their loss in Week 1 to the LA Rams was disappointing, but not all that surprising given Sean McVay’s historic dominance in September.
Sunday’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals was also frustrating, but it’s more proof that this team can compete with the best the NFL has to offer. If you need more look no further than the fact that they beat the Detroit Lions – who we are about to put at the very top of our power rankings tomorrow morning.
