Seahawks national power rankings roundup, Week 7: NFL.com has Seattle at 3rd
Last week, after losing a heartbreaker to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Seattle Seahawks saw their first drop in the national media power rankings in over three weeks. However, how will this change after the Seahawks impressive ninth consecutive road win in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars?
Once again, it is not surprising to see the five national media sites viewed (NFL.com, Pro Football Talk, Bleacher Report, ESPN, and Yahoo) move the Seahawks up again. This is usually the tune of power rankings. You win? You move up. You lose? You move down. The question that remains is how far did Seattle move up?
The next tier of rankings come from Pro Football Talk (PFT) and ESPN. Both sites last week had the Seahawks just out of the top ten, but both them into the top ten after the victory in Jacksonville. In moving the Seahawks up from 11th to 8th in their rankings, ESPN highlighted an incredibly impressive performance by Byron Murphy II. “Along with seven pressures, Murphy had two sacks Sunday to give him a team-high 4.5 through six games.” PFT, who moved Seattle up four spots from 13th to 9th, referenced the recent dominance on the road by the Seahawks, joking that they should start wearing their road white jerseys at home.
The highest power ranking by the national media sites remains with NFL.com. Over the last two weeks, they have ranked Seattle 5th, even after the loss to the Buccaneers in Week 5. Well, after winning this past week, NFL.com continues loving Seattle, moving them into 3rd. The only teams higher than the Seahawks are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (first) and the Detroit Lions (second). In this notable ranking, NFL.com sung the praises of Mike Macdonald (who is 10-1 as Seahawks head coach on the road), the defense (who came roaring back after a rough performance against Tampa Bay), Sam Darnold (who has played clean, efficient football), and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (who is “becoming one of the best at his craft.”)
Overall, most national media sites firmly believe the Seahawks are a playoff team, with NFL.com showing love to Seattle that is akin to that of a contender. After week five, the average power ranking between the five sites (NFL.com, PFT, Bleacher Report, ESPN, and Yahoo) was 11.0. After Week 6, the average power ranking between these same five sites is 8.2, the same average as before the Tampa Bay loss. Seahawks fans surely hope that the team’s performance in the next few weeks will make other national media sites move their rankings up and prove NFL.com right. Their next opportunity to do so will be on Monday Night Football against the Houston Texans in week seven.
SEATTLE (AP) — Sarah Wozniewicz gave Ottawa the lead, rookie Peyton Hemp scored her first goal and Gwyneth Philips posted her first shutout of the season as the Charge blanked Seattle 2-0 on Sunday despite the return of Torrent’s captain Hilary Knight.
Ottawa (6-7-1-9) moved two points in front of the Toronto Sceptres for the fourth and final playoff spot with a match in hand and seven remaining in the regular season.
Seattle Torrent captain, Olympic champion Hilary Knight activated from injured reserve
Wozniewicz was in the right place to bang in a deflection after a shot by Kathryn Reilly hit the skate of a Seattle defender in front of the net at the 9:09 mark of the first period.
Hemp gave the Charge a 2-0 lead when she scored with 1:23 left in the second period. Hemp collected six assists through her first 22 matches.
Seattle began the third period on a two-minute power play after Ottawa forward Brianne Jenner was called for interference in the final second of the second. But Philips was up to the task, finishing with 25 saves.
Corinne Schroeder totaled 27 saves for Seattle (6-1-2-14). She saved a penalty shot by Jenner with 13:58 left to play.
Ottawa came in with a league-high 14 power-play goals but went 0 for 3 against Seattle. The Torrent came up empty on six tries with an extra skater.
Seattle activated Knight from long-term injured reserve before the match. Knight had three goals and seven assists in 14 games before sustaining an injury at the Winter Olympics.
The Charge beat the Torrent for a third straight time following a 4-1 loss in Seattle on Dec. 17.
Ottawa had been the only team without a regulation victory away from its primary home this season.

COUNTDOWN: Five weeks until you can help West Seattle Food Bank ‘Nourish & Flourish.’ Special guest revealed!
Five weeks from tonight – on Saturday, May 2 – you can help the West Seattle Food Bank “Nourish and Flourish” by being part of its annual dinneer and auction, as an attendee and/or sponsor. This week, a special guest was revealed – here’s the WSFB announcement:
The West Seattle Food Bank (WSFB) is pleased to announce that Seattle comedian Scott Losse will join this year’s Nourish & Flourish gala as a special guest, bringing humor and heart to an evening dedicated to community, compassion, and impact.
Losse — recently featured as an “Undisputable Champion of Comedy” in The Stranger — is known for his sharp, relatable takes on life in the Pacific Northwest and his ability to connect audiences through both humor and honesty.
At Nourish & Flourish, Losse will provide a moment of levity during the program, helping to balance the evening’s powerful stories of need and resilience with laughter—an essential ingredient in bringing communities together.
“This event is about nourishing hope,” said Robbin Peterson, Development Director at West Seattle Food Bank. “Scott’s ability to help people laugh, even in challenging times, reflects exactly what community looks like— showing up for one another with both compassion and joy.”
Losse’s connection to West Seattle Food Bank is deeply personal. His wife Janelle was inspired to pursue a career in social services and nonprofit work after volunteering as a child alongside her grandmother — who was one of WSFB’s volunteers in the early years of the food bank.
“That legacy of service — passed from one generation to the next — is exactly what we see every day at the food bank,” Peterson added. “It’s neighbors helping neighbors, steadfastly across time.”
Nourish & Flourish will take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at 4105 in SODO, bringing together 300 community members for an evening of storytelling, fundraising, and celebration. Proceeds support WSFB’s vital programs, including food access, housing stability, and essential services for thousands of neighbors across West Seattle.
In 2025 alone, West Seattle Food Bank distributed more than 2.25 million pounds of food, served over 23,000 individuals, and helped keep hundreds of families housed.
Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available at:

WSB is media sponsor of Nourish & Flourish. See you there!
