I thought the Seahawks might be 3-2 or 2-3 at this point in the season. My expectation was that Seattle would lose to the Saints and Rams and possibly the Steelers. So far, on the Saints bit has come true and that is only because Seattle did nearly everything horribly in that game and still lose by just six points. Seattle is a good team.
One reason that Seattle has exceeded expectations, at least mine, is that some players have taken on bigger roles and been great. In fact, I expected the 2019 rookie class to be pretty good this season and help Seattle win some games.
