The Seattle Seahawks boosted their 2025 resume<\/a> with their first shutout win in a decade in Week 13. That still wasn’t enough to boost them to the top of the latest NFL power rankings.<\/p>\n

Seattle sits at No. 2 for the second straight week in the NFL.com rankings<\/a>, one spot behind the top-ranked Los Angeles Rams. That’s a fair assessment considering the Rams own one of the Seahawks’ three losses, but they had a chance to win it on a long field goal at the very end.<\/p>\n

“The defensive front just mauled a beat-up Vikings offensive line, and it’s the kind of unit that will give even playoff-caliber opponents trouble,” NFL.com writer Eric Edholm wrote.<\/p>\n

Edholm knocked the Seahawks for their offensive struggles, which makes sense. Sam Darnold has been sacked a league-low 11 times through 11 games, but the Vikings sacked him four times on Sunday. <\/p>\n

Darnold struggled overall, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a season-low 23 receiving yards. Even in an ugly game for the Vikings, they proved the Seahawks’ explosive offense isn’t invincible.<\/p>\n

“They still have a couple more games to get everything in order up front before the titanicrematch with the Rams<\/a>,” Edholm wrote.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the Seahawks do have time to sort out their offensive issues, but that time is running out. That game is in just a few weeks (Dec. 18), and Seattle will face the Atlanta Falcons (4-8) and Indianapolis Colts (8-4) before then. <\/p>\n

The Falcons game could be a trap, and the Colts won’t be pushovers. They have to figure out a counter on the offensive line before Los Angeles comes into town in Week 16.<\/p>\n
