The Seahawks appear to be one of the better teams in the NFL this year. However, it’s only been four games and their one win against a good team came in overtime with no small help from the officials. In any case, standings can always be a bit misleading regarding how good a team is – especially this early in the season.
Luckily, these days we have a lot of revealing advanced stats that tell us where teams stand using more than just their record. The latest evidence that Seattle is a potential contender comes via DVOA, where the Seahawks rank in the top 10 in the NFL thanks to a good balance in all three phases – placing No. 8 on offense, No. 14 on defense and No. 10 on special teams.
Let’s see how they compare to the competition. Here’s where all 32 teams rank in total team DVOA going into Week 6.
