Seahawks No. 1 on NFL's Week 1 power rankings

The Seahawks are getting plenty of love.

The Seattle Seahawks secured the No. 1 position on the NFL's Week 1 power rankings following their 13-10 victory over the New England Patriots. Despite starting the game without their starting quarterback, Sam Darnold, the Seahawks managed to achieve an opening day win, which propelled them to the top spot. The full power rankings were released by the NFL, with Seattle highlighted as the top team.

The Top 10 rankings include the Buffalo Bills in second place, followed by the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Jacksonville Jaguars, Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Rams, Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, and Kansas City Chiefs. While the rankings accurately reflect Seattle's dominance, the placement of teams like the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams is puzzling, as they suffered significant defeats against the Chiefs and 49ers, yet are ranked above teams that outperformed them.

The article concludes by noting that the Seahawks aim to maintain their position with a win against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2.
