The fellow 5-2 Rams joined the Seahawks on the Week 8 bye. As outlined above, the Seahawks claimed first place in the NFC West due to possessing the current tiebreaker advantage due to owning the better in-division record. Division wins are critical!

"Seattle's road streak will eventually end, but Washington is in a bit of a free-fall, and there's no telling what (if anything) it'll get from Jayden Daniels," says Brad Gagnon.

The Seattle Seahawks finally reached the top of the NFC West during the bye week. Now the challenge doesn’t get any easier; the Seahawks need to stay on top and will face a big test this week.
