Seahawks Week 4 power rankings: A fall from the top after surprise loss to Commanders

Following a surprising defeat against the Washington Commanders, the Seattle Seahawks dropped from the top spot in national football power rankings heading into Week 4. Five major media outlets adjusted their standings for Seattle, pushing the team's average position down from 1.2 to 4.6.

NFL.com and Bleacher Report both slotted the squad at fourth, pointing to turnovers by Sam Darnold and Jadarian Price, alongside struggles running the ball. ESPN also placed the club fourth despite previous higher marks, while CBS Sports dropped them to fifth.

Pro Football Talk issued the steepest penalty, sliding Seattle all the way to sixth overall. Analysts highlighted various concerns including rushing efficiency and fumbles, though San Francisco took over the number one ranking on NFL.com.

The Seahawks will attempt to bounce back during their upcoming matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
