Week 7 NFL Power Rankings

Peyton Manning

3. Seattle Seahawks (Last week: 1)

Right now it feels like the Seahawks’ defense is playing on its reputation, and as a result they’re failing to live up to the billing. Opposing teams have been able to pass on the vaunted Legion of Boom, and DeMarco Murray made running against them look easy.

What to know: Seattle is 1-4 when Richard Sherman commits multiple penalties. Sherman was flagged twice on Sunday. He previously had not been penalized since Week 16 in 2013 against Arizona, coincidentally the last time the Seahawks lost at home.
