12. Seattle Seahawks
Last week: 13th
The Seahawks are the reigning champs, but if they are like a ship, they have holes below deck, and they’re taking on water.
Even after watching this Seattle team get a win against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon, I still don’t have the bad taste out of my mouth watching this team against the Chicago Bears, who might be the class of the NFC over the last month.
That was a tough pill to swallow, seeing the Seahawks get absolutely walked down the field for an entire game after not even allowing Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs into the red zone.
Seattle is still going to be there up to the end (of the regular season). I’m not sure they have a great chance of repeating this year, however, unless Sam Darnold can really start to elevate this offense. Will the Seahawks be looking for a solution in the running game at the NFL trade deadline, or will they trust Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price?
11. Los Angeles Rams
Last week: 10th
The Los Angeles Rams just can’t have a game go by without some type of absolutely detrimental injury news.
The Rams lost Puka Nacua to a knee injury on the last offensive snap against the Washington Commanders, and his status is going to have to be monitored throughout the course of the week. They have already been without Davante Adams, so general manager Les Snead is going to have to do something to address receiver at some point.
Josh Downs, come on down?
Meanwhile, Myles Garrett returned in very Myles Garrett fashion. He had three sacks and looked like the game wrecker the Rams traded for. This team remains extremely dangerous, no matter their injury issues.
