NFL Power Rankings heading into Week 2 of the 2023 season

Buy Seahawks Tickets

The Seahawks lost a game they were supposed to win on Sunday, falling at home to the Rams despite coming in as 4.5 point favorites. While Week 1 is probably the least important slate of the season – and the least revealing – we have to at least consider the possibility that this Seattle team isn’t quite as good as we were hoping they would be in 2023.

The last time we shared a complete league-wide power rankings, we had the Seahawks slotted at No. 10. After Sunday’s loss, we’ve dropped them five spots. Here are our power rankings for all 32 NFL teams going into Week 2.
