After beating the Steelers in a shootout, Seattle has now won 4 of their last 5, increasing their rating enough to move up into 8th. The offensive rating has taken a significant upward turn and the Seahawks now have the sixth ranked offense. Defensively the team has struggled, dropping into 12th. They face another strong test this week traveling to the 11th ranked Vikings.
