The 2016 NFL season is now a quarter of the way complete. That means we finally have enough of a sample to unveil the first set of NFL Power Index rankings. As you might expect, this mathematical model is a big fan of the Seahawks again this season.
Seattle comes in as the 5th team in a very clear 6-team top tier. That is probably about right where they belong when you consider how bad the offense looked in the first 2 weeks of the season. They should climb within that group over the coming weeks now that the offense have found their footing.
