The Seattle Seahawks have had an impressive start to the 2020 NFL season, and their position in the NFL power rankings following Week 3 reflects that. After a strong showing against the New England Patriots in Week 2, the Seahawks have moved up to the No. 5 spot in the power rankings.
The Seahawks have been led by their defense, which has been one of the best in the league. They are allowing just 17.7 points per game, which is the second-best mark in the NFL. They have also been able to generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks, recording 12 sacks in three games.
Offensively, the Seahawks have been led by quarterback Russell Wilson, who is off to a hot start this season. He has thrown for 901 yards and seven touchdowns with just one interception. He has also been able to extend plays with his legs, rushing for two touchdowns and averaging 5.2 yards per carry.
The Seahawks have also been able to get contributions from their running game, as Chris Carson has rushed for over 100 yards in each of the first three games. He has been able to provide balance to the offense and has been a key part of their success.
The Seahawks are in a great position heading into Week 4 and they will look to continue their strong start to the season. With a defense that is playing at a high level and an offense that is clicking, the Seahawks have a chance to make a deep run in the playoffs this season. They will need to continue to play at a high level if they want to stay near the top of the power rankings.
