NFL Power Rankings: Where Do All 32 Teams Sit Entering Week 13?
By Peter Panacy
Um… what happened Sunday, Seahawks?
A 14-5 loss sounds more like a baseball game between the Rays and Mariners than it does a football game. Granted, the Buccaneers are playing awfully well right now. And to be honest, Seattle was due for one of these letdown games after all the back-and-forth travel the Hawks have had in recent weeks.
Quarterback Russell Wilson was under pressure all game long, sacked six times in the process. And his 38.8 passer rating marked the lowest since his rookie year in 2012. Those two interceptions hurt.
Seattle gets to host the Panthers in Week 13, so that’s a bonus. But this is a game that could come back to haunt the Seahawks, when determining home-field advantage in the postseason.
