5. Seattle Seahawks (3)

Even though they pulled off the win in Week 1 against the Dolphins, the Seattle Seahawks fell two spots in this week’s rankings for how close they came to starting the year off with a loss.

After struggling to get going on offense, Russell Wilson did what he does best by leading the team on a fourth-quarter comeback by finding Doug Baldwin on a two-yard score with less than a minute left to win the game. This was nowhere close to being the type of performance the Seahawks expect from Wilson, but the quarterback came up big when his team needed him the most, and apparently did it with a sore ankle.

Luckily for Seattle, the defense also did what they do best by limiting Miami to scoring just 10 points. But if this team is going to emerge as one of the top teams in the NFC once again, the offense is going to need to play much better than they did on Sunday.
