NFL Power Rankings, Week 4: Daniel Jones ignites Giants, Packers stay perfect

12. Seattle Seahawks (7)
Usually, if you see Russell Wilson threw for 406 yards and run for another 51 — while getting two passing touchdowns and two on the ground — you would think he led his Seattle Seahawks to a win. That wasn’t the case this weekend as Wilson’s impressive performance wasn’t enough to get his team the win as they fell to the New Orleans Saints who were starting Teddy Bridgewater in the place of Drew Brees.
In the 33-27 loss, the Seahawks saw New Orleans run a punt back 53 yards for a score and then Von Bell returned a Chris Carson fumble 33 yards for a defensive touchdown. Those were the first two scores of the game for New Orleans and made it tough on Seattle to try and get the win.
They still made it tough on the Saints with Tyler Lockett pulling in 11 receptions for 154 yards and a touchdown while D.K. Metcalf added another 67 on just two grabs. Defensively, they were flying all over the field with Bobby Wagner racking up 18 tackles and K.J. Wright adding 14.
Next week, they hit the road to play the Arizona Cardinals which could help them shake off this loss and continue to make a run in the NFC West.
