Seahawks Week 3 power rankings: Seahawks stay atop the mountain thanks to Drew Lock

The Seattle Seahawks have maintained their winning momentum to start the 2026 NFL season, moving to a 2-0 record behind the strong play of substitute quarterback Drew Lock. Lock stepped in following an injury to Sam Darnold during the season opener against New England and recently guided the team to a decisive 31-7 triumph over Arizona after an earlier 13-10 victory.

While Darnold works toward returning to practice this week, head coach Mike Macdonald and the organization are proceeding cautiously regarding his availability for the upcoming matchup against the Washington Commanders. Lock has earned widespread praise for filling the void seamlessly, ensuring the club stays at the top of the power rankings while avoiding any rush to bring their primary signal-caller back prematurely.
