The Seattle Seahawks have been one of the most impressive teams in the NFL this year and after many picked them before the season as a Super Bowl contender and so far they have delivered on those expectations, as the team is 3-0 after winning 45-17 in Week 3 over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Seahawks won their opening game of the season on the road against the Carolina Panthers 12-7 to open at 1-0, after which they stayed home and dominated the San Francisco 49ers in a tough divisional matchup 29-3 to start off 2-0. Everyone knew that the Jaguars had no chance on the road against the Hawks and they did just that, losing by over 25 points and things got so out of hand, Russell Wilson didn't even need to finish the game.
The NFC West was once looked at as a joke of a division after the Seahawks made the playoffs a few years ago with a losing record, but now the division may have two of the best teams in the conference in Seattle and the Niners and the rams are also looked at as an up and coming team with Sam Bradford and Jeff Fisher as the head coach.
The schedule toughens up a bit for the Seahawks as things move into Week 4, as they are playing the first of two straight road games. The team will travel to Houston to play against the Texans before heading on the road against the India polis Colts, who just defeated the Niners last week in dominating fashion. The game on Sunday against the Texans will be a 1 PM start on Fox and that must irk CBS, as the Texans are an AFC team and they have a terrible schedule this weekend.
After the Colts game, the Seahawks are home against the Titans and then that starts a stretch of three road games in four weeks, as the team will travel to play the Cardinals in Week 7 before playing on Monday night football in Week 8. That game against the Rams is a big one for the division and the Seahawks already have one win in the NFC North with their victory over the 49ers.
The next game is home against the hapless Buccaneers, who are already 0-3 this season, and then the team will travel for a playoff rematch against the Atlanta Falcons on the road. The Vikings wait at home in Week 11 and then the team will have a bye week. The final stretch of the season is all tough games, as the Seahawks will be on Monday night football against the Saints before traveling to San Francisco and New York in consecutive weeks to play the Niners and the Giants.
Division games are always tough and the team will finish with two of them at home. First they will play the Cardinals in Week 16 and then they will host the Rams in Week 17, making it three divisional games in the finals four weeks of the season and that Niners came could decide the West.
