Seahawks Week 11 NFL power rankings: Where Seattle lands among league's elite

The Seattle Seahawks are having a sensational season in 2025 and once again proved they are among the NFL's best teams after dominating the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

The Seahawks managed to stake themselves to a 21-0 first quarter lead and never looked back. When the first half was said and done, Seattle was up 38-7 and was afforded the ability to go on cruise control the rest of the game.

Seattle has now won four straight and seven of its last eight since losing the season-opening contest against the San Francisco 49ers. There is no longer any doubt about the Seahawks' status as one of the best teams in the NFL.

But are they the best team in the eyes of experts?

Let's find out by taking a tour of NFL power rankings going into Week 11.

Seahawks Week 11 NFL power rankings

Vinnie Iyer, The Sporting News: 6 (+6)

Iyer: "The Seahawks have obliterated their past two opponents in similar fashion and it's hard to ignore what kind of challenge they pose to the also red-hot Rams. Sam Darnold vs. Stafford will be fun in Week 11."

Jeremy Cluff, Arizona Republic: 5 (+4)

Cluff: "Sam Darnold and company have now won four straight games, setting up a huge showdown for first place against the Rams in Week 11."

Matt Johnson, Sportsnaut: 1 (+4)

Johnson: "The Seattle Seahawks have arguably the best defense in the NFL and the best offense in the NFL. What other club would belong atop the NFL power rankings after Week 10? Seattle completely dominated Arizona on Sunday afternoon, turning it into a first-half blowout before starting to take its foot off the brake. Now at 7-2 on the season, we’re going to get a fantastic battle for the NFC West next Sunday in Los Angeles."

Taylor Wirth, NBC Sports: 6 (+4)

Wirth: "A well-oiled machine would be an understatement for Sam Darnold and Seattle's offense. With DeMarcus Lawrence's two defensive touchdowns, they hardly had to break a sweat on Sunday."

Peter Dewey, Sports Illustrated: 3 (+7)

Dewey: "Seattle blew out Arizona in Week 10, and it's jumped all the way to third in the odds to win the Super Bowl this season."

Lou Scataglia, NFL Spin Zone: 1

Scataglia: "Alright, I am convinced. The Seattle Seahawks are the best team in the NFL and might not do a single thing poorly at this point. Another blowout win thrusts Seattle to the top of our latest power rankings."
