5. Seattle Seahawks (4-1)
Recap: The Seattle Seahawks went toe-to-toe with one of the better offensive teams in the NFL in Week 5 and ended up coming out of it victorious, 30-29. With the Seahawks trailing late in the fourth quarter, Russell Wilson orchestrated a drive that was capped off by a Chris Carson touchdown reception that gave Seattle the lead, and ultimately, the win with the help of a missed field goal from Greg Zuerlein.
Pros: Chris Carson has rebounded nicely since his fumble issues, and Russell Wilson continues to show why he’s one of the very best at his position in the NFL. Wilson’s throw and Tyler Lockett’s catch in the back of the end zone for a score was nothing short of spectacular.
Cons: The Seahawks offensive line allowed pressure all game long. Thankfully for Seattle, Wilson is a magician and was able to escape it and still make plays.
Outlook: The Seahawks will hit the road to take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. It’ll be another tough test for Wilson and Co., but we’ve already seen that this team is up for the challenge.
