11. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (4-4)

Last week: 12
Change: +1

The Seahawks are not playing well, but they are finding ways to get it done. Sure, you can put the victory over the Cowboys down to good defense, but the game would likely be very different had Tony Romo been in at quarterback and Dez Bryant playing at 100 percent.

It was an underwhelming performance and one that further exploited a struggling Seattle offense. For once, Russell Wilson didn’t get sacked, but he was far from his best, going 19-of-30 for 210 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

Marshawn Lynch is a long way from his ‘Beast Mode’ best. He’s averaging just 62.5 yards on the ground per game. From 2012-2014, he averaged 99.3, 78.6 and 81.6 yards respectively. Lynch is on pace for 875 rushing yards and five touchdowns this season. Not bad, but not the high standard we’ve seen from Lynch in recent years.

Next: No. 10
