NFL Power Rankings, Week 7: 49ers, Texans make statements as contenders

6. Seattle Seahawks (6)
One week after pulling off a huge win over the Los Angeles Rams, the Seattle Seahawks found another way to earn a tough win on the road against the Cleveland Browns.
Throughout most of his career, Russell Wilson always tends to find himself in the MVP conversation, and Sunday’s 32-28 victory over the Browns was just another example of how dangerous the quarterback can be when on top of his game.
Between the three total touchdowns (one rushing) by Wilson along with a strong outing by Chris Carson (124 rushing yards with a touchdown) in the ground game, Seattle continues to show they deserve to be viewed as a top contender.
Even when the Browns seemed like they were going to find a way to escape with the win, the Seahawks still found a way to finish out on top, and win their third game in a row.
As long as Wilson continues to look this impressive on a weekly basis, there’s every reason to believe his name will continue to be up their in the MVP race with other star players such as Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson.
But most importantly, as long as Wilson continues to put Seattle in the best position possible to win games, this is what matters the most for the Seahawks.
