Can you believe it, 12s? PFT just dropped their Week 2 power rankings, and our Seattle Seahawks are still sitting pretty at the very top of the NFL! We’re 1-0, holding that No. 1 spot from last week, and it feels pretty darn good to see the Emerald City banner flying highest over the entire league this early in the season.
The View From the Top Just Feels Right
Look, it’s only Week 2, but for Mike Macdonald’s squad to be leading the entire NFL in power rankings? That tells you everything you need to know about the momentum building here. We’ve got a 1-0 record, just like a bunch of other teams, but PFT sees something special in how we got there. It’s one thing to win, it’s another to be considered the best in the entire league, even if it is super early. Every single team out there is going to be gunning for us now, and that’s the kind of pressure that truly defines a season. It’s time to see if we can keep that top spot locked down.
Rams Already At Rock Bottom, K9 Showing Out
While we’re up here chilling at No. 1, things are looking a little different elsewhere in our division. The Los Angeles Rams are already all alone in last place of the NFC West at 0-1. Talk about a rough start for them, huh? The San Francisco 49ers are at No. 10 and 1-0, having “turned the page decisively on all of those bizarre offseason storylines.” Good for them, I guess, but we know who the real top dog is.
And speaking of familiar faces, who popped up on the list but our old running back, Kenneth Walker III? The Chiefs are ranked No. 8 at 1-0, and PFT straight up said K9 “earned every penny of his contract in his debut, and then some.” Man, you gotta respect the hustle, even if it stings a little to see him tearing it up for Kansas City. It shows you the kind of talent we’ve had come through Lumen Field.
Elsewhere Around the League, Teams Are Already Wildin’ Out
Beyond the West, some other teams are making early statements. The Buffalo Bills jumped to No. 2, also 1-0, with their coach Joe Brady apparently getting so hyped after a regular-season win he took off his shirt. Wild! The Jaguars are at No. 5 after a 34-10 win that “felt way more lopsided than that.” Baltimore’s Derrick Henry is still proving he “may never lose a step,” helping the Ravens to No. 6. Even the Bengals, at No. 7, managed to hold a 27-10 lead, something PFT notes they “would have fully blown” in past years. So there’s some growth happening, I guess. The Texans, at No. 4, scored 31 points but lost, with PFT thinking that “should be more than enough for that defense.” Yikes for their D! Meanwhile, the Eagles, at No. 9, had a “Week 1 escape” that “answered no questions” about them being true contenders. Sounds like chaos already.
It’s an absolute whirlwind out there, but for now, the only thing that really matters is our Hawks are on top. Next week is another chance to prove PFT right and show the league why Seattle deserves that No. 1 ranking. Let’s keep that energy going!
