4. Seattle Seahawks (5)

In a game where the weather conditions weren’t exactly the best, the Seattle Seahawks deserve plenty of credit for traveling across country to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles.

When looking at all of the injuries the Eagles have been dealing with, the Seahawks seemed to have an early advantage entering the contest, and the fact that Seattle held Philadelphia to scoring just three points shows this turned out to be the case.

Before their bye week, the Seahawks made a huge statement by handing the San Francisco 49ers their first loss of the regular season, and while Seattle seems to be a lock for at least a Wild Card spot, they shouldn’t be ruled out for the NFC West title either.

With the Seahawks only trailing the 49ers by one game on top of the fact they currently hold the head-to-head tiebreaker, this is the perfect motivation for Seattle to end 2019 on one of the strongest notes possible.

Putting up 17 points against a struggling Philadelphia team may not seem like the most impressive thing in the world, but for a Seattle team traveling across country, and finding a way to win in the earlier slate Sunday, they will take it.
