Seattle didn't play a game this week, but that did not save the team from dropping in Sportsnaut's newest batch of power rankings.

The Cardinals, Seahawks and Rams were all idle. They had their byes.

And much as Macdonald felt was the case heading into the bye week, the self-scout of the Seahawks' first seven games revealed a team that is doing a lot of things well—hence a 5-2 record and the third best point differential in the NFC (plus 57)—but they're also a team that still has room to grow.

The Seattle Seahawks have one of the most aggressive defensive lines in the league, led by a young and disruptive Byron Murphy II.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was fined by the NFL for his actions during Monday's win vs. the Houston Texans.
