1. Seattle Seahawks (Last week: 2)
Seattle regained its post atop the NFL power rankings by taking care of business against the Broncos in overtime. Again, the champs proved they’re the bullies on the block, and showed a lot of grit being able to bounce back from Peyton Manning‘s late rally and close out the win in extra time.
What to know: Russell Wilson is 7-0 against the likes of Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers. None of those wins have come on the road — six have been in Seattle, one in the Super Bowl.
