The Seattle Seahawks have one more game to go before the early (and, given the injury situation, much-welcome) bye week. Barring the rare tie outcome, Seattle will be either 3-1 or 2-2 following Monday’s showdown with the New York Giants to start the October slate.
Expectations for the Seahawks among fans is considerably higher than last season, when just being watchable would’ve been a big positive following the Russell Wilson trade. The playoffs should be within reach for this year’s team in an NFC field lacking demonstrably elite teams outside of the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers.
