2018 NFL Power Rankings: Risk on Mahomes paying off for Chiefs

21. Seattle Seahawks (19) – Play Monday Night

Heading into the 2018 season, there was some concern over the Seattle Seahawks, and whether the offensive line would show some improvement after last year after Russell Wilson learned the hard way there’s only so much he can do himself without the proper supporting cast. After seeing Wilson get sacked six times in Week 1, the Seahawks will be in for another difficult challenge Monday night when having to worry over the whereabouts of Khalil Mack, and the rest of the Chicago Bears‘ defense.

Throughout his career, Wilson has always stood out when compared to other quarterbacks since he’s proven on numerous occasions to single handedly change the outcome of a game, especially when he’s effective with his legs. But whether he will be able to bring some of that magic out when taking on the Bears is going to be a different story since the Seahawks already find themselves at a disadvantage in the injury department.

With players like Doug Baldwin and Bobby Wagner already being ruled out, this puts even more pressure on Wilson to step up in a big way on offense to give Seattle a fighting chance. Otherwise, the Seahawks will be at greater risk to begin the year 0-2.
